The student went to the master and said, “Master, I have become so depressed lately, I do not wish to do any activities, I do not wish to even think anymore. You see, master, I have come to believe that there is no reason for anything in this world.”
The master replied, “What you say is true, there is no reason for anything in the world.”
The student exclaimed, “How can you say such a thing? If there is no reason, then what reason is there to continue on?”
The master responded, “If there is no reason, then what reason is there not to?”
