“Can You Hear The Mountain Stream?” — Author Unknown

A Zen Master was walking in silence with one of his disciples along a mountain trail. When they came to an ancient cedar tree, they sat down under it for a simple meal of some rice and vegetables. After the meal, the disciple, a young monk who had not yet found the key to the mystery of Life, broke the silence by asking the Master, "Master, how do I enter Life?"

He was, of course, inquiring how to enter the state of consciousness which is Life.
