◆印度國王的故事
The
story of a king in India
「他把所有的財產都送給人們,任人挑選。每個人都來拿想要的東西,有人想帶走燈,有人帶走珠寶,有人試穿衣服,也有人拿精緻餐具,銀瓶,金瓶,或者諸如此類的東西。每個人都興高采烈的拿走自己喜歡的東西,他們以為他們所拿的都是國王所擁有的美麗而珍貴的寶物,但是每個人只能拿走一二樣國王的財寶,不能全部都拿。有一個女孩直接走到國王面前說:我想要你。所以她擁有所有的財寶,包括整個國家和國王自己!
同樣的情況,如果我們只想上帝,不要別的,我們當然什麼都會有,這是十分明確的,百分之百保證的事,我就是活生生的例證!」
"When
he gave everything in his possession to the people,
they could come and take whatever they wanted. Everyone
came and took this. They wondered about the lamps,
and took some jewelry. Some people tried their clothes
on and some people took the cutlery or silver or golden
vessels, anything like that. Everyone was so happy
to take something of their own taste, and they thought
their possessions were very beautiful and precious
treasures from the king. But they only had one or
two things of his whole possessions, but not all.
One girl, she came straight to the king, and she said,
"I want you." And everything belonged to
her - the whole kingdom and the king himself.
The
same thing happens to us when we only want God and
nothing else; everything else will belong to us, definitely,
hundred percent. I'm living proof."
