Posts where this quotation is embeddedPeople: Anthony de MelloWaking up is unpleasant, you know. You are nice and comfortable in bed. It is irritating to be woken up. That’s the reason the wise guru will not attempt to wake people up.
I hope I’m going to be wise here and make no attempt whatsoever to wake you up if you are asleep. It is really none of my business, even though I say to you at times, “Wake up!” My business is to do my thing, to dance my dance.
If you profit from it, fine; if you don’t, too bad!
As the Arabs say, “The nature of rain is the same, but it makes thorns grow in the marshes and flowers in the gardens.
