The weary wayfarer,<\/span><\/p>\n

Goes in search of water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sees an old man sitting silently,<\/span><\/p>\n

With eyes closed, inside a bare house.<\/span><\/p>\n

The old man gives him water.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Regaining his strength with the sip of water,<\/span><\/p>\n

The wayfarer wonders,<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Old man, what life is this?<\/span><\/p>\n

No bed, table, chair!<\/span><\/p>\n

Where are your worldly possessions?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The old man looks quizzically at him,<\/span><\/p>\n

And asks in return,<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Where are your worldly possessions?<\/span><\/p>\n

The beds, tables, chairs?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Amused by the question,<\/span><\/p>\n

The wayfarer answers.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘But, I am only a wayfarer on a journey\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The old man answers, ‘So am I’.<\/span><\/p>\n

Closes his eyes,<\/span><\/p>\n

Aiming to shorten,<\/span><\/p>\n

The eternal journey of Samsara.<\/span><\/p>\n
