A most beautiful aphorism, at Priyadarshan 's site.

Hi Priyadarshan,
I like the poem. I never held a real diamond in my hands. I like glas- and other gemstones.

Somehow the poem reminded me of one of a series of stories once told and typed by Databir in honour of his birthday quite some years ago that I never forgot and found quickly while searching for them:

"...Guru was walking out of the meditation room and going upstairs to Akuti, Rudra and Samarpana's apartment. I was standing in the driveway watching Guru when he asked me, "Did you give me these beautiful diamonds?"

I couldn't believe Guru had asked me a question. I had given Guru some beautiful stones from Jean and Granville's store, but they were only polished clear stones, not diamonds.

I smiled and said to Guru: "Guru, they are not diamonds, they are just beautiful stones."

Guru said, "Your soul is infinitely more beautiful then than those diamond stones."

I thought that those stones were so beautiful.

Thank you for reminding me of the stories that I am now going to reread. They are so very inspiring.
