A writer arrived at the monastery. He was working on a book about the Master. He spoke to the Master, “People say you are a genius. Are you?” “You might say so,” said the Master. “And,” inquired the writer, “what makes one a genius?” “The ability to recognize,” replied the Master. The writer asked, “Recognize what?” Spoke the wise Master, “The butterfly in a caterpillar; the eagle in an egg; the saint in a selfish human being.”
The above story, derived from Anthony DeMello, speaks of insight. Some persons see what is, while other persons see what is to be in what is.
