Mesteren smiler roligt og spørger: ”Hvad ønsker du?”
Disciplen svarer: ”Jeg ønsker fuld oplysning allerede i denne inkarnation.”
Pludselig bryder solen fuldt og helt igennem skyerne et ganske kort øjeblik. Som et kærligt, gyldent blitzlys der forudsiger en smuk dag.
Mesteren svarer: ”Fortsæt med at meditere regelmæssigt, og lev et enkelt og rent liv.”
Disciplen rejser sig, samler håndfladerne, fører dem mod ansigtet, bøjer hovedet let og forlader rummet.
Næste dag, samme sted, hos mesteren. Der dufter fint af røgelse, der er pyntet med blomster, og foruden loftslys er et par stearinlys tændte. Disciplen beder om et mantra, da hun ikke ved, hvad hun ellers skulle bede om. Hun får et mantra, samler håndfladerne, fører dem mod ansigtet, bøjer hovedet let og forlader rummet.
Inden hun når ud, bliver hun opmærksom på, at der slet ingen vinduer er i dette rum. Kun hvidkalkede vægge.
Interpretation?
The spiritual master is smiling quietly and asks: “What do you want?”
The seeker answers: “I want full spiritual Enlightenment already in this incarnation.”
Suddenly, the sun broke entirely through the clouds a brief moment. As a loving, golden flash of light that predicts a beautiful day. As a wonderful coincidence.
The spiritual master answers: “Meditate regularly, and live a simple, holy and pure life.”
The seeker gets up from her sitting position, gathers hands, leads them towards the face, as she had been told was the custom, and leaves the room.
Next day, same place, with the spiritual master. It smells fine of incense, there are vases with beautiful flowers, fruits, and in addition to overhead lights a few lit candles. The disciple asks this time for a mantra, she does not know what else to ask for. Receives a mantra, brings the palms together, leads them towards the face, bowing her head, and leaves the room.
Before she gets out, she becomes aware that there are no windows in the room. Only whitewashed walls.
