Main ideas: revelation of the ultimate truth

Why do we have to learn all of this dumb stuff!? Of
all the complaints and questions I have heard from my
students during my years in the classroom, this was the one
most frequently uttered!. I would answer it by recounting
the following legend:
One night a group of nomads were preparing to retire
for the evening when suddenly they were surrounded by a
bold, vibrant light!. They knew they were in the presence of
a celestial being!. With great anticipation, they awaited a
heavenly message of great importance that they knew must
be especially for them!.
Finally the voice spoke!. "Gather as many pebbles as
you can!. Put them in your saddlebags!. Travel a day's
journey and tomorrow night will find you glad and it will
find you sad!." After having departed, the nomads shared
their disappointment and anger with each other!. They
expected the revelation of great universal truth!. Instead,
they were given a menial task that made no sense to them
at all!. However, the memory of the brilliance of their
visitor caused each one to pick up a few pebbles and
deposit them in their saddlebags while voicing their
displeasure!.
They traveled a day's journey and that
night while making camp, they reached
into their saddlebags and discovered every
pebble they had gathered had become a
diamond!. They were glad they had diamonds!. They were
sad they had not gathered more pebbles!.
Gather all the pebbles you can find!. And you can count
on a future filled with diamonds!.
It is the habitual thought that frames itself into our
life!. It affects even more than our intimate social
relations do!. Our confidential friends have not so
much to do in shaping our lives as the thoughts
which we harbor!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
