Abstract

One man comes to his zayachi (spiritual patron, creator) and says that he has become so wealthy that he does not know what to do with his wealth. After listening to the man, the zayachi says: ‘Before each meal hold your cooking pot with only one hand in a casual fashion, and after each meal toss the pot away with your other hand.’ The man followed his zayachi’s advice only to fall into poverty in no time. Since careless handling of pots is a sinful act, people who do so quickly lose their wealth.
