SEARCH FOR THE DIVINE ;
Two friends started their pilgrimage to find God , Some distance on road-side was a temple and devotees were singing loud, for the presence of the Lord. One friend wanted to stop but the other told -`don`t you see god is not yet there ,that`s why they are urging for his presence.
Next stop they found a Mosque where `Allah ho Akbar` filled up the sky and the friends decided ,Allah had not yet come there too.
On the third stop -was a church and a priest was sermoning that we all are sinners and should pray for God`s pardon. The two friends found that as there were too many `sinners` already waiting , their chance won`t come any soon. So they left and went on.
At last they came under the shade of a tree where a `fakir` was sitting silent and in deep meditating mood with eyes open but not seeing anything.
At once the two seeker ran to the fakir in joy and said - `must be, he has found something worth of seeking because he is silence personified and so relaxed.( folk tale )
