一五七 避重就輕
有個訪客向大師敘述一位聖人的事蹟。這位聖人想去拜訪一位病危的朋友，却害怕趕夜路，所以命令太陽：「因上主之名，請你暫時駐留於天際，直到我趕到臨危的朋友住處，才准西落。」太陽真的停止西沉，直到這位聖人抵達那村莊。
大師不禁失聲而笑：「那位聖人如果能克服他對趕夜的恐懼，不是省事多了？」
EVASION
A visitor narrated the story of a saint who wanting to visit a dying friend and fearing to
travel by night, said to the sun. “In the Name of God stay on in the sky till I reach the
village where my friend lies dying.” And the sun stopped dead in the sky till the holy man
reached the village.
The Master smiled. “Would it not have been better for the holy man to overcome his
fear of travelling by night?” he said.
