This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.
A guy goes to the doctor and says, 'Doctor, I have pain all over my body! It is excruciating. I think all my bones are fractured'.
The doctor says, 'Please put your finger on the exact spot where you feel the pain.'
The guy puts his finger on his shoulder and cries, 'Ouch, it hurts here!'
Then he puts his finger on his chest and cries, 'It hurts here too!'
Then he puts his finger on his stomach and cries, 'It hurts here too! I can't tolerate it!'
He puts his finger on almost every part of his body, crying, 'It hurts here too!'
The doctor just picks up the guy's finger, bandages it and says, 'Don't worry. All you have is a fracture in your finger!'
Understand: when your finger is fractured, every spot you touch is going to seem painful. When you are carrying incompletions inside you, everything in life will appear painful. Life itself is not pain! The finger with which you are touching Life is causing the pain. So look in. You need to heal the finger, not try to change Life!
