Story: Search Of The Path
“I am willing to leave everything
Please, take me as a disciple.”
“How does a man choose his Path?”
“Through sacrifice
A path that demands sacrifice is a true path.”
The abbot bumped into a bookcase
A very rare vase fell down and the young man threw himself to the floor to pick it up.
He fell the wrong way and broke his arm
But he was able to save the vase.
“Which sacrifice is greater, to see the vase breaking down our breaking an arm to save it?”
“I don't know.” “So then, do not try to guide your choice through sacrifice
The path is chosen by our capacity of compromising with each step we make while we walk.”
Paulo Coelho
