Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Dear Sai Devotees, In this week's eChat, we will reinforce the another important aspect of relationships... --------------------------- A young man while roaming the desert came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water. The water was so sweet he filled his leather pouch so he could bring some back to his tribal elder and his teacher. After a four-day journey, he presented the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked the young man. Later, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It apparently had become stale because of the old leather container. The student challenged his teacher: "Master, the water was foul. Why did you pretend to like it?"The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for an act of love and kindness and nothing could be sweeter." ----------------- May He give us that wisdom! Om SAI RAM! Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
