The tourist was surprised when he saw the wise man living in a small simple room full of books. The only pieces of furniture were a bed, a table and a bench.
The story is told of an American tourist who went to the city of Cairo, Egypt to visit a famous wise man.
“What is your furniture.” Asked the tourist.
The wise man suitably asked: ”Where is yours.”
“Mine?” responded the tourist surprised. ”I’m here only passing through.
“I also am just passing through” concluded the wise man.
“Life here on earth is only temporal… Yet, some live it as if they were going to stay here forever, forgetting to be happy”
The value of something is not in how long it lasts, but in the intensity with which it is experienced.
“God has loaned us this life and He’s the one who will collect it and so it is that” we are only passing through.
Living the real thing doesn’t consist of things at all, because things can not truly satisfy.
Only through God can we find real joy,true happiness, and the eternal fulfillment that only He can give.
“O‘ God, I need your love to cleanse me from my mistakes and wrong doings. I need your light to drive away all darkness.I need your peace to fill and satisfy my heart. I open the door of my heart and ask you to please come into my life and give me your gift of eternal life.Amen”.
