53. Two Friends
Two friends following two different spiritual paths met in the subway. One of them put his hand into the other’s pocket. His friend said: “What are you doing?”“What? Do you want me to disbelieve my Master’s message?”
“What is your Master’s message?”
“My Master’s message is that we are all one, inseparably and eternally one. Therefore, when I put my hand into your pocket, I clearly felt that I was putting my hand into my own pocket.”
“You rogue! Do you want to hear my Master’s message?”
“What is your Master’s message?”
“My Master’s message is the message of perfection. You need perfection, and a smart slap from me will grant you that perfection.”
Sri Chinmoy, Try, you too can laugh, Agni Press, 1973
