Observe the Cat

In a quiet monastery nestled in the mountains, a monk approached the Master with a troubled mind. 


"Master," he asked, "how can I achieve enlightenment?"


The Master smiled and pointed to a mystic cat lounging in a sunbeam. 


"Observe the cat," the Master said.


The monk watched the cat for days. The cat stretched, slept, and chased shadows.


One morning, the monk exclaimed, "Master, I do not understand. The cat does nothing special."


The Master replied, "Precisely."


In that moment, the monk was enlightened.
