| A disciple went to his guru asking for tips to attain enlightenment. The guru advised, "Take a mala and go up into the Himalayas and meditate." The disciple went away. Several months later, the guru paid him a visit and asked, "How do you like it up here in the snow?" "Just fine," replied the disciple. "And what about the weather? Don't you freeze?" "As long as I have my Mala and My Chillum, I don't care how cold it is." "I am glad to hear it. Can I also have a Chillum for myself right now," asked the guru, shivering with cold. "WHY NOT !!" said the disciple... "MALA !!PLEASE BRING US TWO CHILLUMS ???" |
