Guest guest Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 namaste. Continuing with the series of excerpts from "The prayer of the frog" by Anthony de Mello. The book can be obtained from the publishers: The Gujarat Sahitya Prakash, Post Box 70, Anand, Gujarat 388001, India. Regards Gummuluru Murthy Enlightenment Every month the disciple faithfully sent his Master an account of his spiritual progress. In the first month he wrote, "I feel an expansion of consciousness and experience my oneness with the universe." The Master glanced at the note and threw it away. The following month this is what he had to say: "I have finally discovered that the divine is present in all things." The Master seemed disappointed. In his third letter the disciple enthusiastically explained "The mystery of the One and the many has been revealed to my wondering gaze." The Master yawned. His next letter said, "No one is born, no one lives and no one dies, for the self is not." The Master threw his hands up in despair. After that a month passed by, then two, then five; then a whole year. The Master thought it was time to remind his disciple of his duty to keep him informed of his spiritual progress. The disciple wrote back, "Who cares?" When the Master read these words a look of satisfaction spread over his face. He said, "Thank God, at last he's got it!"
