Think big and you will be big |The impartial

“If you have an empty mind, it will always be willing for anything, it will be open to everything.In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities;In that of the expert, few ".Suzuki Roshi.

For a few months and especially with this beginning of the year of stock turbulence, a few wonder what is happening with bag prices, with the price of oil and with the price of raw materials and other financial assets, in general.However, for a few years now, most wonder what is happening with the price of food, with the price of light and with the price of ‘life’, in general.I could try to go through an expert and explain the reason for each climb and go down or I could pretend to pass through fortune: "We attend a great global eporation of greed".No more no less.Absolutely all these fluctuations, which also include a miscellaneous of downward wages, wealth and extreme poverty, deterioration of the middle class, shortage of agricultural production, global warming, destruction of nature, mental illnesses, stress, overpopulation, etc..Everything is directly or indirectly related to a great global crisis of selfishness and greed that has invaded us all.Both to each other.

When I was a teenager, an acquaintance of my parents released a phrase worthy of a Steve Jobs of life, in the midst of a friendly-family evening: "Think big and you will be great".I don't know who the phrase is, but if any of the successful mega or some ancient Greek had released, thousands of people would have tattooed in the arm, or at least a few players.I was not for needles at that time and not for phrases from a fanfare, but I stayed with the couplet.If we stop to think, the concept of 'growing more and more' applied to the physical, financial or urban, among many other things, is perverse and can only end in one way: as a castle of cards that increasinglyIt rises higher and falls with any small movement or blowing. What could we do to undo this kind of spell that has invaded us?It is clear: adopt a pet!A dog or a cat.

On one occasion a student asked his spiritual master how he could achieve lighting and become a person of good.The teacher told him without hesitation: "Adopt a dog"."How?"The student said."Adopt a dog and observe it for a while, so you can become a good person".The counterpart stood looked at his teacher who continued.“All the qualities you want to develop as selfless love, presence, humility, inner peace, equity, the joy of living, etc., they already have a dog.Adopt one and observe it carefully all the time you can.With a little luck something will be hit ".

Actually today I did not want to talk about greed, financial markets, injustices or human problems, today I wanted to dedicate some words to our great teacher, our adopted dog, to Parker.Parker is a mestizo of German pastor of almost seven years that despite having spent most of his life locked in a Chenyl (a cage), he lives and enjoys every moment as if there were no morning.Every day he walks, plays, eats, sleeps and groans, because Parker is a very sound dog, like a true Zen teacher.Everything does with absolute devotion, presence and dedication, until when it is stirred or engaged with another dog, since one thing does not remove the other.When I think about how little all these impersonal issues are concerned, and how much personal heat cares, on the one hand it saddens me but on the other it fills me with joy and hope.

As that teacher pointed, thanks to these other little Buddhas that inhabit our homes, many of us are fortunate to live with a source of pure wisdom that comes from who, without looking for it, is truly great, although it seems that I do not think big.If for our pets it would, they would be with us all day without other stimulation than a walk through nature, some races through the park, a dip in the river, a couple of food a day and a lot of naps between half.Without spending anything."Why do they leave home, why don't they take a while with me, why do those screens look so much, with how good we are looking at and stroking each other?" Will think Parker.Because our pet thinks, although thank God he does not think big.However, when we get angry in the middle to look at us and calm down, when we cry our tears to comfort ourselves, when we laugh on and hug us to share joy, when we caress him he asks for more with his groans, when we exceed ourselvesHis indifference and when we leave him only scolds us with howls.

What a great teacher you are my friend!One and a hundred times I would get you out of that cage again, one and a hundred times I would give you everything to free myself from my chains and one and one hundred times I will observe you with all my attention believing that I relieve the effects of the disease that accompanies my species."Being great", really, goes far beyond what we can imagine: wealth, success, followers or conquests, and it may not be the opposite: with abstinence, humility, generosity or altruism.True greatness is that of our companions animals, domestic or not, that of Mother Nature or that of children before discovering their ‘I’, all of them, wise forever.Let's stop thinking so much and then observe a little more, since markets, oil, light or salaries will not stop moving to the sound of those who think too much about how great they can become."Inexhargeable astonishment", by Oliverio Girondo: "This dog./ This dog. / ¡Indescriptible! / ¡Único! / (¿Quién diría la forma, / la intención, / el tamaño / de todas sus membranas, / sus vértebras, / sus células, / sin olvidar su aliento, / sus costumbres, / sus lágrimas?)/ This dog./ This dog, / semejante a otros perros / y a la vez tan distinto / a su padre, / a su madre, / sus hermanos, / sus hijos, / a los perros ya muertos, / y a todos los que existen./ This dog increíble, / con su hocico, / su rabo, / sus orejas, / sus patas, / inédito, / viviente; / modelado, / compuesto / a través de los siglos / por un esfuerzo inmenso, / constante, / incomprensible, / de creación, / de armonía, / de equilibrio, / de ritmo./ This dog./ This dog, / cotidiano, inaudito, / que demuestra el milagro, / que me acerca al misterio.../ who wants to face, / break a chair."
