A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer.
The lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints
about stress in work and life.
The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of
cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking
and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.
The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for
themselves.
When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up,leaving
behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the
best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What
all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the
better cups."
"Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in
society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the
quality of Life doesn't change."
"If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the
water in it."
"Faith gives us a new vision of the world. Without it we see only the darker
side of life. We are still slaves. It is faith which liberates us and makes
us see the Spirit of power and love at work in our lives."
