186. A Christian theologian has said that it is a basic law of the spiritual life that the more deeply a person is dispossessed the more deeply he or she must serve. In Zen we might express this in terms of entering into emptiness. And so we can say that the more deeply we enter into emptiness the more deeply we must serve. Of course the how and the where and the duration of our service is not for us to decide.
