When you come to the lessons in the furure you must collect yourself on the way here.
The right shot, at the right moment, does not come because you do not let go of yourself. You are not waiting for fulfillment, but bracing yourself for failure. So long as this is so, you have no choice but to call forth something from yourself that ought to happen independently of you.
The right art is purposeless, aimless! The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede.
