This saying has had profound meaning for me throughout my Journey. Looking back, I can see that the knowledge I sought rarely arrived before I was able to absorb it – and if it did, it reappeared again later so I could appreciate it with the right perspective. That goes for the people who arrived along my path too. When I was ready for the change a new person would bring, there they were. The better we get at Surfing the Tao, the easier it becomes to utilize this phenomenon. As another proverb so wisely states, "Teachers open the door, but you must enter yourself."
20/20 hindsight is truly valuable, for if we can see the wisdom of our seemingly happenchance pasts, we can understand that the future is bound to bring us what we need, when we need it. What can seem like bumps along the path are merely necessary meanderings. We will only understand why later. "When the Way comes to an end, then change - having changed, you pass through." (I Ching) This is a Way to Surf the Tao.

For me, another way to view this is that what we need is already out there, it's just waiting for us to acknowledge it. It's like the Master has been sitting next to us all along; but we only recognize her/him in our own time.
The search for meaning begins and ends in words discovering a holiness.
It makes me think about sychronicity of our vibrational place in time and space attracting the answers we are seeking from the heart.
