A
disciple and his master were walking in the fields one morning. The
disciple was asking what diet was needed to provide purification.
Although his master had always insisted that all foods were holy, the
disciple did not believe it.
"There must be some meal that
brings us closer to God," the disciple said.
"Well, perhaps
you are right. Those mushrooms there, for example," said the
master.
The disciple was excited, thinking that the mushrooms would
provide him with purification and ecstasy. But as he stooped to pick
one he screamed:
"These are poisonous! If I were to eat even one
of them, I would die instantly!" he said, horrified.
"Well,
I don't know any other food that would bring you so quickly to God,"
said the master.
