Guest guest Posted February 25, 2000 Report Share Posted February 25, 2000 Does anyone know this story better than me? Have I told it right? A man was walking along in the forest and saw a bee hive with honey dripping out of it. He thought it would be very nice and tastey, so he started climbing up the first branches to get some. As he got up, the branches shook, and the bees became agitated and came out to sting him. Suffering from the stings, the man began exclaiming and trying to get away. But as he looked down, a tiger attracted by the noise was looking up at him licking its lips. The man climbed away from the tiger but looking up, he saw a black snake slithering down to devour him. Looking for a way to escape, the man looked to the other side of the tree and there to his dismay was simply an abyss beyond the edge of a cliff. Trapped now, suffering the stings of bees, a snake slithering down to get him, an abyss on one side below, a tiger on the other, the man was in great anxiety. But just at this moment, some drops of honey dribbled out of the bee hive, landed on his nose and started running down. With some effort, the man poked his tongue out to taste that honey and he thought, "Well, at least I'm enjoying this." This is the position of the materialist enjoying sex life in the material world: Honey = sex Bees = envious people Tiger = your karma Snake = the time factor Abyss = the unknown next life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
