The Tao Master

Question: How many Tao Masters does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Answer: None. The Universe does the screwing, the Tao Master gets our of the way.

I thought this joke was quite insightful. Yes, when you are on the Tao it seems that everything is a flow, and all you have to do really is to step out of the way and not interfere. Yet, on the path to becoming this Master, work happens to be the way to let go of all the interferences you still possess. Perhaps the Tao Master happens to be the one who worked the hardest to achieve the state of flowing rest. Go figure!
