Once upon a time there was a man who was living close to a mountain and every day he was thinking:
How would it be to climb that mountain, and what would i see on the peak?
And finally the day came and the man went on the journey.. Arriving at the foot of the mountain he met the first traveler.
So he asked. "how did you get up the mountain and what did you see on the top?"
And so the traveler shared his path and also the view that he had.
But then the man, he was thinking to himself:
The way that the traveler just described, it sounds very exhausting, I need to find another way to climb.
So he continued on the foot of the mountain until he met the next traveler.
Once again he asked: How did you climb up that mountain and what did you see on the top?
And so the other traveler shared his story
Still not being determined on which direction and which way to go, The man asked thirty more people, thirty more travelers.
When he finished talking to all of them, he finally made up his mind. Now that so many people shared their path and especially what they all saw on the top, I don't need to climb there anymore.
It is very unfortunate, this man never went on the journey himself.......
You see in life....
In your life!
You have to find the most suitable way for yourself to climb that mountain. Some information and life experiences others give you, are possible to understand with words, but it is impossible to share the experience of clarity, when you are standing on that peak by yourself..
to invest the right effort in climbing that peak, That is essentially all that buddhism teaches.
Clarity means you see more clearly what the proper direction for you in life is, And what path you should take.
It's your buddy Mushahid Sayyed
