\"How should I know?\" the master replied.

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.

I posted these in a thread of their own but realized that they should be here.
These are from unknown authors but are worthy of posting...
enjoy....
Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
How can you love God whom you have never seen, and hate your brother you see every day?
Or is that why?
Anything anyone does anywhere affects everything everywhere.
If your aim in life is nothing; you can't miss.
And you can't win
A man with one watch will always know the time.
A man with two watches will always be in doubt.
Don't let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart
The test of tolerance comes when we are in a majority.
The test of courage comes when we are in a minority.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way that you want, doesn't mean that they don't love you the best way they know how.
Everyone is crazy, some people just hide it better than others.
Failure is not the worst thing in the world, the very worst is not to try.
Unanswered questions are far less dangerous than unquestioned answers.
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
I cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet.
Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart, cling to them as you would your life...For without them, life is meaningless..
The best way to have what you want, is to want what you have. If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.
A wise man knows how to laugh at himself. If he cannot, others will.
If you can't control your mouth, there's no way you can hope to control your mind.
In a controversy, the instant we feel anger,
we have already ceased striving for the truth,
and have begun striving for ourselves.
Though you cannot return to the past to make a brand new start,
you can always make a brand new start now, and a brand new ending.
All the darkness in the world could not put out the light of one small candle.
A friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be somewhere else
The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction.
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
