“The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear.

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
