postscript to "Be Here Now" reading musings...

I found
(as promised) the other quotation from page 70 of
"Be Here Now" that Ram Dass
refers to as a Sikh story, and it seems it could
as easily be ascribed to Zen or Sufi traditions
(what little I know of them)... I found this one
amusing and profound:
"There's a Sikh story about a holy man who gave two men each a chicken and said: 'Go kill them where no one can see.' One guy went behind the fence and killed the chicken. The other guy walked around for two days and came back with the chicken. The holy man said: 'You didn't kill the chicken?' The guy said: 'Well, everywhere I go, the chicken sees.' "
... I kinda like that one
One more quote (from the 3rd section, page 10); "Everywhere I look I see only my own desires." - Hari Dass Baba ... That quote reminds me of A Course In Miracles.
