Takes two to tango

It takes two to Tango!




Advise to someone is wasted, if not sought for specifically. Training someone on something is meaningless, unless the person has a need for it, more so wants to be trained. Coaching someone is a waste, if the coachee is not serious about an issue. Where someone gives, but the other is not ready to receive, it is a complete waste. The teacher and the student must both be present, for learning to begin, the coach and coachee must both be ready for the coaching to begin. The advisor and the one who seeks it must both me present for advice to flow. In fact, when the student is ready the master appears, when the dancers are ready, the dance begins, when the performers are present, the performance begins. Then the dancers disappear, just the dance remains, the singers disappear, the song remains, the poets disappear, the poem remains.

When two humans interact: they either connect with the mind or heart. The former is intellectual, and satisfying in the short term, but not satisfying in the long run. However, when hearts are connected, that is something else.

In an intellectual discussion the question is answered. Then another question arises, then that is answered and it goes on and on. One question follows another: the unknown becomes the known or sought to be known.

When hearts connect, the question seems to be getting answered, but actually the answer is directed to the questioner. A connect answers the real question, not just the question. It answers the question asked, not asked (edited) and also the questions unasked (also asked). There is no question which gets answered. It is just that over time the questions seem to disappear. It seems absurd to ask a question. What is, is. There are no question.


Trust replaces doubt. The questions drop, the question become silent, the questioner ceases. Then no coach is required; everything around seems like a coach is present. Then the dancers appears: everything seems like a dance. Then the masters appear.


Remember, when the student is ready the teacher arrives, not otherwise.
