The Star of Gilgamesh

The Star of Gilgamesh, Guru Hari 2019

There was a traveler who came by a temple. And he wanted to see the wise man in the temple. He was duly taken to the wise man who turned out to be blind.  So the traveler was a little surprised but he asked the man how long had he been blind? And the wise man said “from birth.”  And the traveler said “And what path of wisdom do you follow?”  And the man said “I follow the movement of the Sun, Moon and Stars in my heart.”  Because obviously he could not see them with his mortal eyes.

From a story by Kahlil Gibran
