from The Adventures of Wim By Luke Rhinehart 'When I first began looking for ultimate truth,' explained Wim one day, 'I always thought that when I'd lost a game I'd failed.'
"That's typical of us," said one of his disciples. 'After going to the Himalayas and meeting the great Yogi Mayarishi I learned that when I won the game I had failed.' "I see." 'And then after staying with the monk Brother Bobo for a few months I came to realize that when I lost but still felt good about losing I had failed.' "That's very good, Master, very good." 'A few weeks later when I finally managed to locate the great Sufi Sage Narsufin in Harlem I learned from him that when I won, but felt guilty I had failed.' "That's tremendous, Master, tremendous." 'Finally I discovered ultimate truth,' "What happened?" 'At last I learned how to develop my pawns." ----- Original Message ----- From: mooreharmony2002 To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 4:37 PM Subject: [Zen] Re: Ran across this a while ago... One time I was told life is like a game of hide and seek, I thought it seemed more like chess regarding the ripple effect... I just learned to play this past year, and it isn't easy to stay focused and think ahead :) Take care also, Jackie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
