There you have naturalness. . . . This naturalness is very difficult to explain. If it comes out of nothingness, whatever you do is natural, and that is true activity. You have the true joy of practice, the true joy of life. . . . From true emptiness the wondrous being appears. . . .
True being comes out of nothingness, moment after moment.
Nothingness is always there, and from it everything appears. But usually, forgetting all about nothingness, you behave as if you have something. What you do is based on some possessive idea or some concrete idea, and that is not natural. Suzuki has given us a clue. He tells us that plants and stones have no problem in being natural, but that for us there is indeed a big problem.
