A Little Parable.

A Spiritual Quest:
A young man on a search for an enlightened Master grew weary from his travels and decided to stop at a café for refreshment.
As he was sipping his tea, an old man sitting at the table beside him asked, “Where are you heading to young man?”
The young man responded, “I’m looking for an enlightened Master to study under, but they’re hard to find.”
The old man smiled and said, “Ah the world is full of them everywhere, they just haven’t realized it yet, they get so busy looking everywhere else instead of what they are doing and experiencing now.”
The young man completely focused on the fact that if he wanted to get another 10 miles completed before the days end he'd better get going.
For he felt he had much travelling yet to do to complete his quest, hurriedly brushed aside the old man’s words with a polite nod and smile and went on his way.
The old guy watched the young man walk into the horizon and then quickly jumped on his horse and headed for the next town 50 miles away.
For this old guy had always been following this young man since he started his quest, for the Beloved provides for all requests.
The old guy patient in his creative life experience began to hum his travelling song, wondering how many more doors he could open for opportunities to be acted upon.
The moral of this little story is to always be alert in our lives and not let our attention be focused outward to distant dreams for each present moment is an open door to an unlimited amount of opportunities!
Always be ready to rise to your own occasion, for you are the enlightened always wanting to express your true ways!
All My Love
Rob.
