The Self

zen Story, the self
A man approached a Zen Master in a distraught state.

He implored the Master thus : " Master I feel totally lost and desperate. I do not know who I am? I plead you to show me my true self!"

The master was nonchalant and did not respond.

The man was dismayed and started begging and pleading with the master but of no avail ! The frustrated man, giving up hope, turned to leave when the master called out his name.

The man responded "Yes!", spinning around to face the master when he exclaimed "There it is!"
