So the man went home, exhausted and confused, hoping that he would be able to understand this air that brings life and wondering why he could not see, feel or touch what the teacher said was always there. That night during sleep the man stopped breathing. In panic and dread he began gasping and coughing. In then the next instant he breathed and now knew that this air was always there. More familiar to him than anything else. It had been ignored because it was so close, so familiar, so ordinary, unseen, untouchable, pure expanse and was a part of his being. What did he lose? Nothing but the misunderstanding. What did he gain? Nothing, it was Already Always there. What was the result? The constant and continual Gratefulness and Joy for this breath which gave him Life. It was not separate from him nor he from it. It was the Breath of his Being. Maha Shanti OMMMMMMMM, You left out the part at then end where he relaxed and lit up a cigarette. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
