I once heard a sufi story about a man riding his donkey rapidly through a crowded city. The man did not stop to greet any passerby and his face held an air of intense determination as he galloped through the city. One man, a beggar, was fed up with seeing this strange man every few hours and resolved to figure out what the man was after. The next time the man passed by the beggar jumped out in front of his donkey and yelled, "Stop!" The man stopped immediately. The beggar asked, "What makes you gallop around this city everyday in such a hurry?" The man with the donkey replied, "I'm looking for my donkey."
Often we are like the man and his donkey as we continue to seek that which is right underneath us. Our experience.
