Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 On visit to India, a guide took some tourists to a village to see a local holy man. They found the swami sitting out in an open field, eating a piece of asparagus. The guide told the tourists that asparagus was all that particular swami ever ate, and that he was clearly the happiest person in town. The tourists were not impressed until it started to rain quite hard, and they noticed that while the rain fell simply everywhere, not a drop fell on the swami. This really got their attention, and they asked their guide how it was possible. The guide replied, with a smile: " Bliss is the awning of the sage of asparagus. " -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
