Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 A deranged person went to a group of children and told them, " Go to the king's palace, he is giving a party. " The children, hearing of the party immediately went rushing off to the king's palace. There they found no party, so disappointedly they started to make their way back. They met up with the deranged person who was following them. They asked him, " You knew very well that there is no party, so why did you follow us? " " Well, said the deranged person, " I followed, just in case it is true that the king is giving a party, and I miss out " We smile, but our situation is not that different from that man. We too know in the heart of our hearts that all our worldly pursuits are futile and yet we continue to pursue them just in case they happen to bear fruitful results and we miss out : ) jay Vivekananda Centre London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
