一九四 祈 禱
大師總喜歡反駁一般人所接受的天主的槪念。
「當天主把你從困境中解救出來,你才會想到尋求真實的天主。」
弟子要求大師解釋此言之意。大師說了一個故事:
有個人上街購物,把一輛全新的腳踏車停放在市場邊。直到第二天,他才想起他的腳踏車。衝到市場時,以為那腳踏車一定被人偷走了。然而那腳踏車却安然無恙地停在原處。
他高興地跑到附近聖堂內感謝天主保全了他的腳踏車。當他走出聖堂,却發現腳踏車不見了。
PRAYER
The Master never ceased to attack the notions about God that people entertain.
“if your God comes to your rescue and gets you out of trouble,” he would say. “It is
time you started searching for the true God.
When asked to elaborate, this is the story he told: -
A man left a brand new bicycle unattended at the marketplace while he went about his
shopping.
He only remembered the bicycle the following day — and rushed to the marketplace
expecting it would have been stolen. The bicycle was exactly where he had left it.
Overwhelmed with joy he rushed to a nearby temple to thank God for having kept his
bicycle safe — only to find, when he got out of the temple, that the bicycle was gone!
