The Only Moment I Live In Is The Now - Strong Within Affirmation Podcast # 659

Two monks were returning to the monastery in the evening. It had rained and there were small rivers of water from the torrential downpour.

At one place a beautiful young woman was standing, deciding how she would be able to get across due to the excess amounts of water. The elder of the two monks went over, lifted the woman, carried her across the river, placed her gently on the other side, and continued his way to the monastery.

In the evening the younger monk came to the elder monk and said, “Sifu, as monks, I thought we cannot touch a woman?”

The elder monk answered “Yes, brother.”

Then the younger monk asks again, “But then Sifu, how is that you lifted that woman on the roadside ?”

The elder monk smiled at him and replied, “Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river, why are you still carrying her?”

What are you still carrying?
