Zen is discipline - the discipline of living life, the discipline of taking a breath, the discipline of not knowing and not trying to know.
Sitting around idly contemplating doesn't produce much. In work you can discipline your attention, forget about your misery.
Zen is a study. It's a discipline. It involves the active use of will to make things happen or not happen. These are the secrets of power.
Those who are already adept at some disciplines of the body will find that the study of Zen and meditation will give you much more control than you now have.
