The Silent Flute poem by Bruce Lee

 

 

Instead of dedicating your life to actualize a concept of what you should be like, Actualize yourself.—Bruce Lee

“Emptiness the starting point. In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup. My friend, drop all your preconceived and fixed ideas and be neutral. Do you know why this cup is useful? Because it is empty.” ―Bruce Lee

Be Water My Friend meaning for life

 







“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” -Bruce Lee 

An empty mind is ready for anything; when you have this sort of beginner's mind, you can be totally alive in the moment. If you have an empty mind you can adjust, adapt, evolve, flow, survive, and thrive in any situation life tosses your way. Just as water can thrive in a bottle or teapot, so can you with a clear zen mind that is empty, which allows you to flow with any situation. Be having an open mind you can adapt and flow when you need to and take action when that is required. Whatever the situation requires you are able to act perfectly because you are ready and able to adjust accordingly. You do not let the ego take over and create a very rigid self, as opposed to a vast self which is able to be a peak performer in all situations places. 

Simplicity is the key to brilliance. –Bruce Lee

In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup. My friend, drop all your preconceived and fixed ideas and be neutral. Do you know why this cup is useful? Because it is empty. —Bruce Lee

“Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.” —Bruce Lee

“Flow in the living moment. — We are always in a process of becoming and nothing is fixed. Have no rigid system in you, and you’ll be flexible to change with the ever changing. Open yourself and flow, my friend. Flow in the total openness of the living moment. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.” -Bruce Lee

When one has no form, one can be all forms; when one has no style, he can fit in with any style. -Bruce Lee
