This is a zen story on how to find god?
One day , a young man came near a zen master and requested him to tell the way of how to find the god? Zen master was silent for a moment. Then he asked the young man whether it is raining outside? For this, young man said YES. Then zen master asked how the young man came in rain? For this, young man said he had an umbrella. Then zen master asked him where he had put the umbrella when coming inside the house? For this, young man replied he had kept the umbrella near the door.
Then ,zen master asked whether he had kept the umbrella on the right side of the door or on the left side? By listening to the question , the patience of young man was over. He thought, he had come near the zen master asking how to find god? and here zen master is wasting time asking irrrevelent questions !
Seeing the silence of young man , zen master again repeated the question. At this point, disturbed young man replied he dont remember. Hearing this answer, zen master smiled. Then, he said for these questions itself , you have got disturbed. To find the god, patience is very important. God is there in everything. It has to be our goal to find him .
By hearing this, young man apologised to zen master for his behaviour. He said now his doubt got cleared. He will try to find god in his surroundings .
