"The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there"

This quote by Robert M. Pirsig is a reminder that the peace and enlightenment we look for in life is something that we need to bring with us. It is not something that can be found in a physical place, such as the top of a mountain. The journey to the top of the mountain is symbolic of the journey we take in life to discover inner peace and understanding. The quote recommends that the only way to find Zen is to bring it with us on our journey. It is not something that can be discovered externally, however rather something that must be cultivated internally. The quote motivates us to look within ourselves for the responses we look for, instead of looking for them in the external world. It is a reminder that the peace and understanding we look for is something that we should bring with us on our journey.
