One Minute Wisdom is a collection of writings by Anthony de Mello. Rooted in the spirit of the Gospel and spanning the mystical traditions of both East and West, the author offers an anthology to enliven the reader's faith and free each one of us from whatever imprisons our mind, body and soul. The selection I have chosen to share with you is entitled Meditation and seemed appropriate for the day. You can purchase Anthony de Mello's book by clicking here.
Meditation
A disciple fell asleep and dreamed that he had entered Paradise. To his astonishment he found his Master and the other disciples sitting there, absorbed in meditation.
"Is this the reward of Paradise?" he cried. "Why, this is exactly the sort of thing we did on earth!"
He heard a Voice exclaim, "Fool! You think those meditators are in Paradise? It is just the opposite - Paradise is in the meditators."
(Anthony de Mello, One Minute Wisdom, page 26)
