There is a story about a shepherd boy who was asked
by the wise man to carry holy oil in a container
through the House of God.
When he had finished his task, the Wise man
commended him for not spilling the oil.
"What did you see in the House of God?" said the elder.
The boy replied, "Nothing, sir,
I was busy taking care to not spill the oil."
The wise man asked him to do it again,
"But this time while you walk with the oil, open
your eyes to all that is around you.
Your surroundings are as important as the oil."
This story reminded me of our journey as Students.
The Work encourages us to focus on
self-remembering which is the holy oil.
However, we must divide our attention between
our inner and outer worlds.
The Lamb and the Wolf
must lie down together.
