    Default Spiritual "Seeking"

    visit-red-300x50PNG
    A man flying

    in a hot air balloon realizes that he is lost. He spots a person on the ground, reduces his altitude, and

    shouts:
    "Hey! Can you tell me where I am?"

    The man below replies:
    "Yes, as a matter of fact I can.

    You are in a hot air balloon floating in the sky."

    The balloonist says:
    "Hmmm... you must be a spiritual

    teacher of some sort."

    "Why do you say that?" replies the man.

    "Well," says the balloonist, "what you

    told me is true enough, but it's of no use at all."

    The man below says, "Well then, you must be a spiritual

    seeker."

    "I guess I am" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

    "Well," says the man, "you

    don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help you. You're in the same

    position you were in before we met, but now somehow it's my fault."

    To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

    Perfect! And so true.

    Probably the most enlightening thing you've posted yet.
    To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
