Word spread across the countryside about the wise Holy Man
who lived in a small house atop the mountain. A man from the
village decided to make the long and difficult journey to
visit him. When he arrived at the house, he saw an old
servant inside who greeted him at the door.
"I would like to see the wise Holy Man," he said to the
servant. The servant smiled and led him inside. As they
walked through the house, the man from the village looked
eagerly around the house, anticipating his encounter with
the Holy Man. Before he knew it, he had been led to the back
door and escorted outside. He stopped and turned to the
servant, "But I want to see the Holy Man!"
"You already have," said the old man. "Everyone you may meet
in life, even if they appear plain and insignificant... see
each of them as a wise Holy Man. If you do this, then
whatever problem you brought here today will be solved."
