Right Questions gives the right present.
An
old monk was sitting under a tree, and a youngster asked, Master, are you
meditating?
The
monk said, "No."
The
youngster asked him, are you thinking?
The
monk said, "No."
The
youngster thought for a while and asked, "Master, what are you
doing?"
With
a smile, the monk said," I am living."
The
youngster was confused and asked," Can you explain your answer?"
The
monk said, being calm and quiet is a form of living. Life doesn't mean we
should be busy, think, or meditate. Most people are occupied; they think about
the past or the future or find solace through meditation. But they forget that
being in the present is the best present they can give themselves.
The
youngster said," Master, thank you for that beautiful explanation."
The
monk said instead of assuming what I am doing, it is better to ask what I am
doing directly; it will help you to get the correct answers. The monk added
that you would get the correct answer if asked the right question.
With
a smile, the youngster said, thank you, it was yet another lesson.
