Connected to the Source

"Master, said the student, "where do you get your spiritual power?"

"From being connected to the source," said the Master.

"You are connected to the source of Zen?"

"Beyond that," said the Master, "I am Zen. The connection is complete."

"But isn't it arrogant to claim connection with the source?" asked the student.

"Far from it," said the Master. "It's arrogant not to claim connection with the source. Everything is connected. If you think you are not connected to the source you are thumbing your nose at the universe itself."
