祈 祷

一九四 祈 祷

大师总喜欢反驳一般人所接受的天主的槪念。

「当天主把你从困境中解救出来,你才会想到寻求真实的天主。」

弟子要求大师解释此言之意。大师说了一个故事:

有个人上街购物,把一辆全新的脚踏车停放在市场边。直到第二天,他才想起他的脚踏车。冲到市场时,以为那脚踏车一定被人偷走了。然而那脚踏车却安然无恙地停在原处。

他高兴地跑到附近圣堂内感谢天主保全了他的脚踏车。当他走出圣堂,却发现脚踏车不见了。

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!
