Do you expect to fly when you are securely settled in the nest?


Do you expect to fly when you are securely settled in the nest?

One night, a neighbor finds Nasruddin on the street, on his hands and knees.

"What are you doing there, Mullah?" asks the neighbor.

"I am searching for my key," says Nasruddin.

The neighbor then drops to his hands and knees and helps in the search. After a few minutes of fruitless labor, the neighbor asks, "Are you sure this is where you lost it?"

"No, I lost it at home," replies Nasruddin.

"What? Then why are you searching for it here?" asks the neighbor.

"Because it's brighter here," replies Nasruddin.

This is why I found it ridiculous to search for Truth in the comfort of my belief. However, as I've written elsewhere before, it was not an easy thing to let go.
I was like the disciple in another story, who complained to the Master, who
seemed hell-bent to destroy every statement of belief in God, "I'm left
with nothing to hold on to!"

At which the Master replied, "That's what the fledgling says when pushed out of its nest. Do you expect to fly when you are securely settled in the nest of your beliefs? That isn't flying. That's flapping your wings!"
