Overseeing the view of the world from the top of the mountain, they feel so
confident and a peace of mind. Now, their task is to find the guru. The hard part is: Where could he be? They think. Suddenly, they see an old man, sitting at the end of the mountain rock. It seems
very dangerous to sit there, because anyone can fall off anytime down the
mountain and break all the bones. Of course, anyone who falls off will probably
end up dead with broken bones.
So, the wife whispers to the guru, ‘Excuse me, old man, are you the magical
success guru that helps people to be successful?’
The guru seems not to be hearing her whisper. He is still sitting quietly at the end
of the mountain rock without any movement.
The wife whispers again. Then, the old man turns around and stands up at the end
of the mountain rock. This is even more dangerous now, because anyone can lose
balance and fall off!
‘Be careful, o’wise guru! You can fall down from the mountain rock if you stand
so near at the end of the edge!’ they warn.
But the guru simply ignores what they say. In fact, he replies, ‘If you want to speak
with me and learn from me, you have to come closer. Come and stand beside me
at the end of the mountain rock, my students-to-be.’
If they want to learn the secrets of success from the guru, they have to follow his
instruction. With a lot of fear, they come close to the guru. Now, the Guru is
standing in the middle with both of them standing on the left and right side of the
Guru. All 3 of them are facing outwards of the mountain, they are facing the down
slope of the mountain over looking the top of the world . They can fall down the
mountain at any time if they are not careful. The husband’s and wife’s hearts are
panting non-stop.
At this moment they feel so different, a feeling they never felt before, peace of
mind and yet full of anxiety. Looking down the land,
they feel really confident.
And also a little bit afraid of falling off. It will break their bones if they fall down
the mountain.
The husband is thinking, ‘Now what?’.
So, he asks the guru the million-dollar question,
‘What is the secret of success, o’wise guru?’
The guru just smiles at them and replies, ‘Look at the world beyond below, from
here.’
Following the instruction, both of them did as instructed, looking at the world
from the top of the mountain. They can see almost everything from the peak of the
mountain.
Suddenly, the guru pushes them off the mountain peak!! Unbelievable!
(Sad conclusion??)
Both of them fall.
When they fall, with so much fear of death, suddenly, they realize that they can
fly! And they fly…… because they have forgotten that they can fly all this
while…
