"There is no one method for attaining realization of the
Tao.
To regard any method as the method is to create a
duality, which can only delay your understanding of
the subtle truth.
The mature person perceives the fruitlessness of rigid,
external methodologies;
Remembering this, he keeps his attitude unstructured
at all times and thus is always free to pursue the
Integral Way.

He studies the teachings of the masters.
He dissolves all concepts of duality.
He pours himself out in service to others.
He performs his inner cleansing and does not disturb
his teacher with unnecessary entanglements, thus
preserving the subtle spiritual connection with the
teacher's divine energy.

Gently eliminating all obstacles to his own
understanding, he constantly maintains his
unconditional sincerity.
His humility, perseverance, and adaptability evoke the
response of the universe and fill him with divine
light."

There are many ways to do any specific thing. Perhaps this is the essence of "doing one thing and doing it well."

On the other hand, I find that a similar approach works for many different tasks.

This is why I study.
