One day, when Sariputra was meditating in the shade of the mango tree, a peasant came and started insulting him.
Sariputra was quiet, remaining calm.
- Hello, do you hear me? - the peasant said, shacking Sariputra's shoulder.
Sariputra opened his eyes.
- Buddha says that an insult looks like a dog shiet: before you throw it in someone, you have to take it in your hand. And you know, he's right, - Sariputra said and, having grabbed a big pile of dog shiet, threw it right in the peasant's face.
sweeter than barratone moods and undivided kisses,
more precious than staying with somebody important.
something yet to be noticed!
still is too fresh to catch all at once!
too new to be addressed and delivered:
more meaningful than rhythm of a poem,
so much deeper than randon theories of phylosophy.
something to look forward to,
like getting your wish or dream.
with hidden thoughts and meanings;
meant to catch you by surprise,
rather than impress you.
such unique choice of words,
meant to last forever in your thoughts,
leaving you bewildered in amazement.
pushing you to ask questions,
enticing your curiousities.
searching for the right timing,
bold enough to catch you breathless.
the unmentiontionables that makes it yet so worthwhile, unwritten.
Sanity is to self preserve,
as insanity is the empowerment of the unused mind.
