kimblanchard Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 An aspiring Yogi wanted to find a Guru. He went to an Ashram and his preceptor told him, "You can stay here but we have one important rule: all students observe Mouna or a vow of silence. You will be allowed to speak in 12 years." I love the jokes from beliefnet: After practicing for 12 long years, the day came when the student could say his one thing or ask his one question. He said: "The bed is too hard." He kept going for another 12 years of austere discipline, meditation and silence and finally got the opportunity to speak again. He said: "The food is not good." Twelve more years of hard work and he got to speak again. Here are his words after 36 years of practice: "I quit." His Guru quickly answered: "Good, all you have been doing anyway is complaining."
