A long time ago, when i was still studying, I came across a book that had an anecdote in it.
The book was not famous - it was called "when Nietzche wept" or something like that - but I remember the story clearly.
The story goes like this.
Once upon a time ago, there were two people on two different sides of the globe, who knew that their purpose in life was to find each other.
For decades they will transverse the globe to find each other, and undergo all sorts of trials and tribulations in their quest.
Finally, they will come across each other, with just a small bridge lying between them.
Upon seeing the other, one of them will say, "why don't you cross the bridge and come to me? Isn't that what you have been meaning to do for years ?"
Hearing it, the other will turn back and walk away, and the two will never meet ever again.
The book doesn't explain the meaning behind the story. The story was just relayed to be a subject of meditation.
For nearly 25 years i have meditated on the subject, and now i am relaying to you, to become a subject of your meditations.
Happy meditating.
