Yoga “way to fullness” …
Here is the story told by André Van Lysebeth, in one of his seminars in Switzerland
A lonely rider riding an Arabian thoroughbred with an immaculate white coat ventures into the desert …, after days and days, he sees in the distance another rider coming from the direction where he is going, also riding a pure-bred Arabian horse with a splendid black coat.
When they meet, they greet each other, the first says “As-salam alaykom” and the second says “Wa Alykom As-slam“.
– The first, a wealthy merchant, asks: “Who are you?“
– The second responds “I am the plague” …
– Where are you going ?
– To Dallas…
– How many people are you going to kill with the plague?
– 2 million…
– But that’s much too much …
And they talk like “carpet dealers” over a cup of sweet mint tea … At the end of negotiations, the merchant obtained from the Lord of the Black Death only 500,000 dead. And each one goes off in his direction …
A few years later, in the same desert on the way back, the rich merchant on his magnificent white horse meets the Lord of the Black Death, but he is accompanied by another horseman who has a haughty look.
“As-salam alaykom” “Wa Alykom As-slam”.
Theye light a fire to boil the water and make the sweet mint tea …
The Black Death, speaks up:
– Did you do good business?
– Yes, excellent, but frankly I’m not happy, you promised to kill only 500,000 people but there were more than two million deaths …, you lied to me …
– Sorry, but no I kept my promise, I only killed 500,000 people.
– But then all the others …
It’s my companion here …
– And who are you?
– I am FEAR …
