A student approached their Zen master and asked, "Master, what is the secret to a simple life?"
The master replied, "When you are hungry, eat. When you are thirsty, drink. When you are tired, sleep."
The student, puzzled, asked, "But isn't that what everyone does?"
The master smiled and said, "No, my dear student. Most people are so busy thinking about what they will eat, what they will drink, and what they will do, that they forget to simply eat, drink, and do. That is the secret to a simple life."
