Increasing the Fever August 5, 2008
Posted by google in : SPIRITUAL STORIES , trackback
There was once a doctor visiting a house to diagnose two patients, a rich housewife and her maidservant. The doctor said, “The maidservant’s fever is 105, so there is some anxiety. I will give her some medicine. But the landlady of the house has practically no fever, 99, so there is no anxiety for her.”
But when the landlady heard this, she became angry and said, “This doctor is useless. I’m the landlady. I’ve only got 99 and my maidservant has 105. The maidservant should have 98, I should have 110!”
This can be compared to the modern civilization which is inclined to increase the degree of its fever up to 110. As in the human body there is death as soon as the temperature reaches 107, so by the nuclear weapons, modern civilization will come to the point of 107 and over. But devotees want to decrease the fever by living the highest, ideal life and decreasing the demands of the body.
The End
