It had been used by a tramp who ended his days in poverty, quite unaware of the value of the bowl with which he begged for pennies. When a disciple asked the Master what the bowl stood for, the Master said, "Your self!" Asked to elaborate, he said, "All your attention is focused on the penny knowledge you collect from books and teachers. You would do better to pay attention to the bowl in which you hold it."  Related Stories   ++ Authenticity  ++ Morality  ++ Projection  ++ Love Secret  ++ Barriers to God  ++ Immunization  ++ Letting Go  ++ Universality  ++ Recognition   Inspirational Quotes Jesus Christ Albert Einstein Maya Angelou Abraham Lincoln Benjamin Franklin William Shakespeare George Washington Buddha Gandhi Nelson Mandela Bill Gates Aristotle Socrates Plato
