In Orbit

One day, a student asked their Zen master, "What is the secret to finding inner peace amidst the chaos of life?"

The Zen master replied, "Look to the planets and their orbits for guidance."

Perplexed, the student asked, "How do planets and their orbits relate to inner peace?"

The Zen master explained, "Consider the planets, each following their own path and orbit around the sun. They do not resist or struggle against each other but simply follow their own natural course. In the same way, you too can find inner peace by letting go of the need to control others or to fight against the world around you. Instead, follow your own path and trust in the natural flow of life. Just as the planets find their way through the vast expanse of the universe, so too can you find your way to inner peace."
