\"How should I know?\" the master replied.
\"But you're a Zen master!\"
\"Yes,\" the Zen master says, \"but not a dead one.\"

A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.

Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted

When we are face to face with truth, the point of view of Krishna, Buddha, Christ, or any other prophet, is the same. When we look at life from the top of the mountain, there is no limitation; there is the same immensity.

If it leads to compassion, you know it's knowledge. Otherwise, it's just more information.
