By saying "without pushing forward, without staying in place" am I correct in understanding the buddha as meaning that: 'staying in place' refers to not resisting the inevitable changing in and of life and oneself? And that 'without pushing forward' refers to relinquishing the use of willpower born of conventional thought, feeling, or influence to achieve?

Oh thanks, I was just thinking it would be cool to start a discussion for each one, but it's already happening lol. Thanks a lot, looks like you've started quite a treasure. I need to dig around this forum more thoroughly.

Maybe it is also about crossing the flood of all the Dhamma teachings.
