From Anthony DeMello in The Way to Love:
“Think of yourself in a concert hall listening to the strains of the sweetest music when you suddenly remember that you forgot to lock your car. You are anxious about the car, you cannot walk out of the hall and you cannot enjoy the music. There you have a perfect image of life as it is lived by most human beings.”
I can see myself sitting there at the concert, anxiously squirming in my seat, wondering whether my car is safe, what I left in my car that could get stolen, whether my insurance is paid up…. Before I know it, the music is over. I walk to my car with trepidation, only to find that all is well – except for the fact that I virtually ignored the music. As Homer Simpson would say – Doh!
It occurs to me...
