How to Approach a Gorilla
How we approach another being or in fact what is in our mind as we approach life will determine how it responds to us. What is true power? Is it the power over another, that those men with rifles demonstrated? Or maybe as the Buddha points to, is it the powerover one's own mind? The mind is the forerunner of all things, says the Buddha. All things follow from the mind. How can a troubled mind understand the way? Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded. But once mastered, no one can help you as much, not even your loving father or mother.
