Episode 53 - Being Volitional or Functional

The Buddha talked about beings that are volitional (driven by personal will) or functional (performing their function seamlessly in an awakened state).

A skilful human being moves like a stick through water and does not leave much of a trace. There are countless ways of being of service and performing our function.
