A student approached his Zen master and asked, ‘Master, how can I find tranquility in a restless and chaotic world?’

The master held up a glass and said, ‘Look at this glass. It is filled with muddy water. What do you see?’

The student replied, ‘I see brown water with pieces floating around.’

The master nodded and said, ‘If I were to hold this glass and let it be still, what will happen?’

The student hesitated for a moment and answered, ‘The mud will settle, and the water will become clear.”

The master smiled and said, ‘In meditation, allow your mind to be still. Just as the glass of water becomes clear when left undisturbed, so too will your mind find clarity and peace. Embrace stillness and tranquility will naturally arise.’

Meditation is a tool to train our minds.
