Thief and The Merchant, a Story Told by Anandamayi Ma
    #5967658 - 08/15/06 09:15 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

"A wealthy merchant went on a business trip. A thief in the disguise of a businessman joined him, intent on robbing him at the earliest suitable occasion. Every morning, before leaving the inn which they happened to have put up for the night, the merchant would count his money quite openly and then put it into his pocket. At night the merchant went to sleep seemingly without suspicion. While he was asleep the thief would frantically search through all the belongings of the merchant without being able to find the money. After several nights of frustrating searching, the thief finally in resignation confessed to the merchant his true intention and pleaded with him to tell him how he was able to hide his money so successfully. The merchant replied casually: "I knew from the very beginning what you were up to. So, every night I placed the money under YOUR pillow. I could safely sleep, knowing full well that that would be the one place where you would never look.

God is within everyone, but man goes out in search of Him. This is what constitutes God's Play and God's Creation."
From the book: Life and Teaching of Sri Anadama

The best way to live
is to be like water
For water benefits all things
and goes against none of them
It provides for all people
and even cleanses those places
a man is loath to go
In this way it is just like Tao        ~Daodejing

I predicted the ending.
I often travel with business men
you can't tell which are really thieves, but you can always trust a pillow.

That's a really ignorant story. To think, that God would place something under someone's pillow, when all is God is really trite.

Or an ignorant interpretation of the story. :lol:

It obviously was not intended for any meaning to be direct and concrete.

Peace. :mushroom2:

that's a good way to do it. its a good message though.
