An Eastern disciple who was proud of what he considered to be the spirituality of the East came to the Master and said, "Why is it that the West has material progress and the East has spirituality?"
"Because," said the Master laconically, "when provisions for this world were being handed out in the beginning, the West had the first choice."
-- Anthony de Mello, SJ
MORSEL: Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
--Chuang-tzu (B.C. 350)
