USE ALL OF YOUR RESOURCES

" Use All Of Your
Resources... "
There was a
student, whom the
Master felt was
ready for his final
test. The Master
brought the student
to a large open field.
In the middle of this
field, was a very
large rock.
The Master said to
the student " For
your final test you
must move this rock
to the side of
the field, before the
sun goes down ( he
had about 8 hours ).
The Master said to
the student,
" Use all of you
resources. " The
student approached
the rock,and the
Master sat on the
shaded side ofthe
field, to observe.The
student tried to
move the rock with
his own
physical strength.
The student realized
the rock was much
to large for that. He
went into the
wooded area, to find
something to help
him move that rock.
He tried everything .
Something to help
him push it,
something to help
him to pull it, nothing
was helping.
He even tried building
a lever system,
made out of small
branches that he
managed
to extract from the
wooded areas.
Nothing was
working. He was
becoming tired,
and the sun was
getting low. So he
went to the Master
and said " I cannot
do it, I tried
everything That I
could think of, and
my time is almost
up." The master said
to
the student " You did
not ask me ". The
student replied " I did
not think I was
allowed to,
beside the fact that
I don't think even
two men could move
the rock. The Master
said ,
" I told you to use all
of your resources,
am I not a resource?
The Master
motioned with his
arm, and the entire
class came walking
over a small hill
where they were
waiting. They
came and easily
moved the rock to
the side of the field
