Increasing life is called ill omen. (Ch.55)
More knowledge.
More money.
More meditation.
More Satori.
Lao Tzu says:
"Reduce and reduce".
Don't try to add anything to life, which is your hologram.
The holograms are catalysts.
The more catalysts you have, the more confused you may get.
That's why Zen masters say:
"Just sit".
But, watch out.
Master Dogen says:
"Sitting is not just sitting".
If you meditate for the peace of your mind, it is not true Za-zen, he explains.
(Zazenshin 坐禅箴, «Shobogenzo»)
If you see any increase in your life, it is "ill omen", knowledge and meditation included.

☞Komako is an onsen (hot spa resort) geisha in «Snow Country
». Yasunari Kawabata, a Nobel prize winner, wrote the masterpiece in bits and pieces. The book «Snow Country» was first published in 1937. An antithesis of the beauty incarnated in Komako the onsen geisa could be found in Kafu Nagai's «Geisha in Rivalry
». You can read about the business pragmatism of a geisha's life. Kafu Nagai depicted his own beauty embodied in a woman of a despised profession in «A Strange Tale from East of the River
», coincidentally published in 1937.
