“The right art,” cried the Master, “is purposeless, aimless! The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in one and the further the other will recede. What stands in the way is that you have too much willful will. You think that what you do not do yourself does not happen.”
