one last post for now, a joke on questions ...

[Guest guest]

ok this is not haha funny, but you might enjoy it. i saw this on a

one or two panel card and for some reason it struck home.

 

the panel shows a wise man with a long beard on the top of a

mountain ... the mountain is so high and steep there is only room

for him to sit there ... at his feet is a spiritual seeker who had

gotten all the way up there to ask a question ... the wise man

kindly says, "what questions do you have my son?"

 

there is a pause as the seeker gets up his nerve ... and then he

says:

 

"HOW TALL ARE YOU, AND WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?"

 

hmmm ... i really do think this is funny ... it points out, we have

some question, but what is the question? in a way, we don't

really know what our question is, and yet we want to "know."

knowledge is what we desire, the knowledge that contains all answers

and questions ... the various questions are formulations, some

absurd, to help us come closer, and approach that source of

knowledge ... god, self, truth ...

 

pranams to swamiji and shree maa for helping us on this path, and

providing this path to study, and to all of you here.
