Story-Meditation -1

Read the story given below… Create a quiet space within you… Experience the healing power of silence within you… Let the story speak to your heart… not to your brain… Let it reveal to you its inner depth and meaning. A meaning beyond words and reflections… Carry the story around with you all day… Enjoy the inner freedom that emerges from within. A few moments of spontaneous prayer… Amen

“THE MASTER DOES NOT KNOW” “The seeker approached the Disciple Respectfully and asked, ‘What is the meaning of human life?’ The Disciple consulted the Written Works of His master and confidently replied with the words of the Master himself: ‘Human life is nothing but the expression of God’s exuberance.’ When the Seeker met the Master himself and asked him the same question, the Master said, ‘I do not know’. The Seeker says, ‘I do not know.’ That takes honesty. The Master says, ‘I do not know. That takes a mystical mind that knows all things through non-knowing. The Disciple says, ‘I know.’ That takes ignorance. In the form of borrowed knowledge. ”
