If he so coveted his meditation,
he would be on par with the Student

It's funny...
in this story there is a Master
and a student

And so many who read it....

want to change the story

and make the Master on par with the student....


If that were the case...
there would be no story here


What is the motivation of those who seek to change a very simple story...

to suppose upon the Master and student ideas that are not presented...

The story is simply what it is.....

One wonders what would occur if one was to encounter a real Master

Possibly your destined Teacher..


Would you put your egoic suppositions

upon his or her Clear motives

and lose a good Teacher..?

This is a simple story

and like all simple things..
it is also a Mirror....

Is what you see here a reflection of your soul?

Or your Ego....?

Jeff... I have true masters, as do you.

In my view any master who can't be questioned or challenged or teased is not at a level I would accept.

We would be foolish to blindly follow anyone just because he carries the title 'master'.

The master-student connection is too intimate and precious to be kept on a pedestal, if you know what I mean.
