一五七 避重就轻
有个访客向大师叙述一位圣人的事蹟。这位圣人想去拜访一位病危的朋友，却害怕赶夜路，所以命令太阳：「因上主之名，请你暂时驻留于天际，直到我赶到临危的朋友住处，才准西落。」太阳真的停止西沉，直到这位圣人抵达那村庄。
大师不禁失声而笑：「那位圣人如果能克服他对赶夜的恐惧，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.
