Two ornaments were discussing

The two ornaments vase and ball were jealous of each other. They talked and argued and fought and then made up Then they fought again. This went on for a long time. Finally someone very wise told them essentially you both are the same

Now both ornaments were ” enlightened” and both of them disregarded the differences of shape and color and went about telling everyone that everything is the same and no reason to argue. However, they kept saying differences in shape and size and color and constantly deluded themselves

Finally the wise Guru came back and scolded them. You both wasted time as fools. This is what I meant. You both come from the same material. Glass. But you have to knows yourself first as glass.

Now both vase and ball kept telling everyone – I am the glass and I am perfect. I know it all. However they could not understand how silica looks like glass!

The Guru came back one final time and said listen , there are many steps that happen before silica becomes a case or ball. Until you know and master all steps you have no right to say your Glass. All y can constantly do is say someday I will work hard to realize I am glass and this is how it happened

And the Guru showed them the steps

The point is – there are many paths – which just give the goal. Your spirit or consciousness or Divine and people blindly follow but don’t know or experience the steps that occur in between

Just merely thinking your not thoughts or following where thoughts come from is very complex

Anyway enough said
