Also, even in English the phrase "taking up the yoke" is one of discipline and possibly servitude, as distinct from simply joining together. Also, Googling "one ox yoke" returns around 50/50 split between two-ox and one-ox yokes, so the act of yoking is not necessarily dual in nature, although traditional yokes are not capable of adding additional oxen (and instead are arranged in reins, like with a stagecoach).
- hosh 10y agoWhen translated into the modern, English-speaking culture, words and ideas of discipline gets distorted. There is usually a meaning-sense of servitude floating around. People see the old kung-fu movies and thinks that is what is about. A master can refer to a master of an art or a master to your slave. It can be understood like that. However, a master of an enlightenment vehicle is a master of self. A art can be an enlightenment vehicle, but few in the modern world will see it that way. This misunderstanding is the generator of a lot of drama :-D
