Monasteries of the Heart

Give me a word Story 14

The Seeker approached the Disciple respectfully and asked, “What is the meaning of human life?”

The Disciple consulted the Written Works of His Master and confidently replied with the words of the Master himself: “Human life is nothing but the expression of God’s exuberance.”

When the Seeker met the Master himself and asked him the same question, the Master said, “I do not know.”

Discuss: What is the difference between the Seeker and Master and the Disciple? Who do you identify with? Is “I do not know” a satisfactory answer? Is the Master mixed up? What don’t you know about things you once had certain answers to?
