If you tighten the string too much, it will snap. And if you leave it too loose, it won't play.
Legend has it that prince Siddharta, later to be known as Buddha, sat at a tree near a river and overheard an old musician telling a pupil this basic truth about strings while they were sailing by on a boat.
Siddharta immediately understood that those words are true in a more general sense. And he took a personal consequence. He changed his way of approaching enlightenment. He had been using a completely passive attitude for some years and now he changed to a more active one.
