Quote by Osho [Chandra Mohan Jain], from
A man comes into a bar, obviously nervous and obviously in a hurry, walks over to the counter, picks up an empty glass and starts eating it. When he is finished he goes over to the wall, walks up the wall, walks along the ceiling, walks down the other wall and disappears out the door.The barkeeper can't believe his eyes. What the hell, he says, is going on here?A man who has been sitting on a bar stool and seen the whole thing, says with a shrug of his shoulders, Don't worry, I know that guy. It's always the same thing with him -- comes and goes without even saying hello.There are millions of people who are living like this. Miracles are happening all around but they can't see anything, they are blind with their knowledge.Drop your knowledge. Knowledge is worthless; wonder is precious. Regain the wonder that you had when you were a child -- and the kingdom of God belongs only to those who are able to become children again.http://oshofriendsinternational.com/book_of_wisdom/book.asp
Summary
This quote highlights the limitations of knowledge and the importance of maintaining a sense of wonder in life. The man in the bar is engaging in bizarre and seemingly impossible actions, yet the barkeeper and others are unable to perceive the miracles happening right in front of them because they rely solely on their knowledge and overlook the possibility of the extraordinary. The quote encourages readers to let go of their preconceptions and reclaim the innocence and curiosity of childhood, as it is through this mindset that one can truly appreciate and experience the wonders of the world.
