"What is eating you Ling, is not the day beautiful enough?"
"No Master, it is rather that I am stuck for a subject. I am in search for a 'think subject' to rack my brains on. Something very difficult."
"Let me supply you with one. Often, one's thoughts tend to run in very large circles, loops, very varied but all the same, the same.
Think that somebody comes to you saying that there has been a communication from a nearby star, say 10 years distant. Now this is so different from the daily stuff that there is ample scope for you. Naturally, the Way, Nature, Common sense and so on are basic, but so is the staking out of the fields of 'universal' and 'mondial' truths. Many a writer, even scientist, misuses the word, meaning 'mondial', yet call it universal. On the other hand, the laws of physics may well be thought to be valid throughout the universe, are therefore really universal. But just take some days or weeks to think things over. Let me then hear from you."
