Dope thoughts

I posted this on Facebook a long time ago, and stumbled upon it recently. Its still a great read and starts some great thoughts:


The disciples were absorbed in a discussion of Lao-tzu's dictum:
"Those who know, do not say;
Those who say, do not know."
When the master entered,
they asked him what the words meant.
Said the master, "Which of you knows the fragrance of a rose?"
All of them indicated that they knew.
Then he said, "Put it into words."
All of them were silent.

from One Minute Wisdom by Anthony DeMello


disciples-"Help us to find God."

reply-"No one can help you there."

disciples-"Why not?"

reply-"For the same reason that
no one can help the fish
to find the ocean."

-From One Minute Wisdom


what do you think?
