Guest guest Posted August 10, 1999 Report Share Posted August 10, 1999 The Master once told the story of a priceless antique bowl that fetched a fortune at a public auction. It had been used by a tramp who ended his days in poverty, quite unaware of the value of the bowl with which he begged for pennies. When a disciple asked the Master what the bowl stood for, the Master said, " Your self! " Asked to elaborate, he said, " All your attention is focused on the penny knowledge you collect from books and teachers. You would do better to pay attention to the bowl in which you hold it. " Anthony de Mello, SJ MORSEL: Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. -B.F. Skinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
