A Disgusting Story
I would like to share a story with you that I heard today in the soul of healing course. It is a story that should be told to most of the doctors I have met so far in life. I can’t remember it word for word but this is basically it. There was once a man who wanted to be trained by a famous yogi and asked he asked him if he would train him. The yogi wasn’t sure the man was ready and asked the man to answer just one question first. The yogi wanted to know what the most disgusting thing there is in this world. The man knew he only had one chance and went to search for it. He first saw a drunk sitting in an alley and thought, oh that is disgusting, but then say he saw a massive obese person eating a big plate of food and thought how disgusting that was. He then went looking around more and saw other things that really grossed him out and then he had to go have a bowel movement, or take a poop. After he was done he looked down in the toilet and saw the crap floating there and said that has to be it. That is the most disgusting thing I have seen so far. Then the poop spoke up and said to the man, excuse me, but before I met you I was this fresh loaf of bread, vegetables and rice, now look at me after meeting a person like you. The man then realized what the answer was to the question. The most disgusting thing in the world is arrogance.
