A
young man once went to a monastery, and knocked on the door. The
abbot answered, and asked him what he sought. “I want to see God!”
the fellow answered. “How long will it be before I will be able to
see God?”
“Oh,
is that all you want?”The abbot answered. “I can show you God
right now!” With that, the older man took off through the main
buildings, through the dining hall and kitchen, and into the
scullery, where a dirty, old, gap-toothed and wrinkled monk was
scrubbing out a scorched pot. “There he is!”
“What
do you mean?” sputtered the guest. “Are you trying to tell me
that that old man is God?”
“My
son, if you cannot see God in this man, you will never see him
anywhere!”
