A man who meets a guru on the
road asks, “Which way is success?”
The bearded sage doesn’t speak,
but instead points to a place in the distance.
The man, thrilled by the prospect
of quick and easy success, rushes off in the appropriate direction. Splat!
He limps back, bruised and
stunned, assuming he must have misinterpreted the message. He repeats his
question to the guru, who again points silently in the same direction.
He obediently walks off once
more. This time the splat is deafening. And when he crawls back, he is bloody,
broken, and irate. “I asked you which way is success!” he screams at the guru.
“I followed the direction you indicated! And all I got was splattered! No more
of this pointing! Talk!”
Only then does the guru speak:
“Success is that way. Just a little after the splat.”
