Two Drunkards and the Moon
"Two
drunkards were walking together on a beautiful moonlight
night.
"Seeing the radiant full moon, one man said to
the other, 'Whatever it takes, I'm gonna buy that moon
tonight!'
"'I'll pay any price, but I'll buy
it!'
"The other drunkard retorted, 'No way! You'll
never buy it even for all the money in the world!'
"'Why not?'
'''Cause I'm not gonna sell it to ya!'
"Children, see how stupidly we think that the
world and its objects are actually "ours." Nothing,
not even our own lives are in our own hands. Everything
belongs to God. Understanding this, develop surrender
to the Divine."
