A philosopher stopped Mulla Nasrudin on the street. In order to test whether the Mulla was sensitive to philosophical knowledge he made a sign, pointing at the sky. The philosopher meant: There is only one truth, which covers all. Nasrudin's companion, an ordinary man, thought: The philosopher is mad. I wonder what precautions Nasrudin will take. Nasrudin looked in his knapsack and took out a coil of rope. This he handed to his companion. Excellent, thought the companion. We will bind him up if he becomes violent. The philosopher saw that Nasrudin meant: Ordinary humanity tries to find truth by methods as unsuitable as attempting to climb into the sky with a rope.
Now can you remain content with the fact of Mulla Nasrudin giving the rope to his companion without any interpretation whatsoever? Remain with the fact, and you will be in meditation.
Always see WHAT IS. The facts. THAT WHICH IS. Do not project anything, do not interpret, do not impose any meaning that is, do not allow your mind to interfere - and you will begin to encounter reality. Otherwise everyone lives in his own world of dreaming. And meditation is coming out of these worlds, these dreaming patterns.
