At the end, the farmer said to the saint, "I don't know what God
looks like. I don't know how to meditate. What should I do?
I really want to know the Truth."
The saint asked him, "What do you love the most?"
The farmer said, "My goat."
The saint said, "Very good. God home and meditate on your goat."
The farmer was delighted. He went back home, prepared a place for
his meditation, sat on a pillow, closed his eyes, and began to think
about his goat...Every day as he meditation he became happier
and happier. One day, as he meditated, the room was filled with white
light. The light was both insidea nd outside. His entire being became transparent.
CONTEMPLATE WHAT YOU LIKE. Through this practice you will transcend the object and be able to see the Truth in it.
