Eat
your own fruit
Some
disciples once complained to their guru, “You tell us stories, but you never
reveal their meaning to us.”
The
guru replied, “How would you like it if someone offered you a fruit and chewed
it before giving it to you?”

interpretations?
What
holds you from thinking beyond what has been thought?
The
filthy neighbor
A:
You should see how dirty my neighbor is, and her house! Even her children are
always dirty! It is almost a disgrace to be living in the same neighborhood.
Take a look at the clothes she has hung outside on the line!
B: I
think the clothes are quite clean…the streaks are on your windows!
How
often do you clean your glasses before you see others?
How
objective are the glasses you wear?
Compassion
Every
morning when the Prophet passed by an old woman’s house, she would empty a
basket of rubbish on his head from this upper storey of her house. He never
once remonstrated with her about this. One day, when the Prophet passed by the
house, no rubbish fell on his head.
Thinking
the old woman must be ailing, he went upstairs to inquire and found her ill in
bed. When she discovered that the Prophet had come to meet her, she began to
weep, “I ill-treated you all these years and now you come to inquire after my
health!”
Ultimately
she became one of his true followers.
