Paradise in Meditation
A disciple fell asleep and dreamed that he had reached paradise.
To his astonishment, he found here the Master and the other disciples steeped in meditation.
“Is this the reward of paradise? he cried, desperate.
Well, the same thing we were doing on Earth.”
He heard, however, a voice:
“Bugger! Did you think these meditators were in paradise?
You didn’t understand anything.
The reality is the other way around.
Paradise is in those who meditate
.”
