When The Sage Points To The Moon…

JUST A LITTLE FOLLOW UP TO THE “MOON” POST…

I heard this statement from a fellow named Anthony De Mello. He was a marvelous thinker who died in the mid-80’s. Listen to his New York Conference taped in 1986.

He quoted someone else in saying, “All revelation is as a finger pointing to the moon.”

Here’s a little follow up to that thought… an eastern mystic added…

“When the sage points to the moon… all that the idiot sees is the finger!”

Another French thinker added this… “…and we frequently use the finger to simply gouge each other’s eyes out!”
