Parables and Stories
« on: 26/08/2007 22:00 »
Rahayu Everyone,

Once a week we have a discussion group for the internal side of Silat.  From time to time we'll even have a special guest, a few years ago, one of my teacher's friends from Solo City was in and gave an astounding lecture on Kejawen, the keris, etc.

Anyway, my favorite topics deal with Mullah Nasruddin (sp?)  I feel that the following parable is very much applicable to Silat.  Tell me your thoughts!

Nasrudin used to take his donkey across a frontier every day, with the panniers loaded with straw. Since he admitted to being a smuggler when he trudged home every night, the frontier guards searched him again and again. They searched his person, sifted the straw, steeped it in water, even burned it from time to time. Meanwhile he was becoming visibly more and more prosperous.

Then he retired and went to live in another country. Here one of the customs offices met him, years later.  “You can tell me now, Nasrudin,” he said. “Whatever was it that you were smuggling, when we could never catch you out?”

“Donkeys,” said Nasrudin.
