Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 Aren't you going to tell the story about the Sufi? I wasn't going to , but now that you ask , it's this : The royal court was assembled awaiting the arrival of the king , when a raggedly dresses Sufi fakir strolled inand sat in the seat reserved for the king. The chief minister was aghast . He said , "Who do you think you are , coming in here like this ? Do you imagine yourself a minister?""A minister ?" asked the Sufi. "No , I am more than that.""Well you can't be the Chief Minister . I am the the Chief minister. Are you the King?""Not the King." said the Sufi. "I am more than that.""Are you the Emperor?""No , I am more than that.""The Prophet?""No, I am more than that.""Do you think you are God?""No , I am not God , I am more than that.""But more than God there's nothing!"" Yes , that is correct,"said the Sufi."I am that nothing." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consciousness Speaks Ramesh Balsekar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste, You have completely missed the boat. Watch out for the barges on the canals in Amsterdam. Or you will get more 'love' than you need.ONS Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you will get more 'love' than you need.ONS Tony If 'you' is nothing... it probably could care less about missing boats... and the lovely canals in Amsterdam harbor a lot of love indeed; buzzing mosquitos in a spinning dance, quacking ducklings in pursuit of their mother, two old rusty bicycles entwined in a strong embrace... so much love so much life so much joy between the barges on the canals in Amsterdam... I have never heard anyone pray to God with the complaint that he got 'too much love'... Love, Mira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
