There once was a wise sage who wandered the countryside.
One day, as he passed near a village, he was approached by
a woman who saw he was a sage and told him of a sick child
nearby. She beseeched him to help this child. The sage came
to the village, and a crowd gathered around him, for such a man
was a rare sight. One woman brought the sick child to him,
and he said a prayer over her.
"Do you really think your prayer will help her, when medicine
has failed?" yelled a man from the crowd.
"You know nothing of such things! You are a
stupid fool!" said the sage to the man.
The man became very angry with these words and his face grew
hot and red. He was about to say something, or perhaps strike out,
when the sage walked over to him and said: "If one word has such
power as to make you so angry and hot,
may not another have the power to heal?"
And thus, the sage healed two people that day.

Healing is the journey. The destination is yourself. The full recognition of all
the different aspects of yourself—your joy, your sorrow, your pain,
your pleasure—all lead you to the source of who you are. Only by
having intimate contact with this source can you experience the fullness
of your life. Only by fearlessly looking within can you embrace the landscape
of your life and open yourself completely to all the love
and compassion that lives inside you.
