Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 A man was hungry so he decided to appease his hunger by sitting quietly in a corner and eating an imaginary meal. He closed his eyes and imagined the food and the taste. He started making slurping sounds and praised the food. But then suddenly he stopped, cringed his face, opened his eyes and started to spit. Others asked, " What happened? " He said, " I just ate a bitter gourd in the meal. It was horrible. " Problems with an imaginary meal too !! : ) Vedanta says:- This world is our own creation too. The main reason why it appears so real is because it is a " joint venture " . We all share the same creation and that somehow makes it very real. But then even in this shared vision some variation is possible - some prefer the sweet and some seem to go for the " bitter gourd " We can only smile. jay : ) Vivekananda Centre London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
