Essential Spirituality
I dedicate this story to the most unique girl in the world who got ticket today morning in Melbourne for parking a car in a wrong place : )
After a long, hard climb up the mountain, the spiritual seekers finally found themselves in front of the great teacher. Bowing deeply, they asked the question that had been burning inside them for so long: HOW DO WE BECOME WISE?
There was a long pause until the teacher emerged from meditation. Finally the reply came: “Good choices.”
“But teacher, how do we make good choices?”
“From experience,” responded the wise one.
“And how do we get experienced?”
“Bad choices,” smiled the teacher :)
