One day a young Buddhist on his journey home came to the banks of a wide river. Staring hopelessly at the great obstacle in front of him, he pondered for hours on just how to cross such a wide barrier. Just as he was about to give up his pursuit to continue his journey he saw a great teacher on the other side of the river. The young Buddhist yells over to the teacher, "Oh wise one, can you tell me how to get to the other side of this river"? The teacher ponders for a moment looks up and down the river and yells back, "My son, you are on the other side".
Why don't we approach great obstacles in life with a simple & silent mind? Why we always desire for an end result from the beginning? why don't we stay with the problem, so that it can reveal itself?
There is great beauty in being alone, not lonely but alone. Only self knowledge can bring about this beauty of being alone.
