It happened once, a Zen master was celebrating his master\u2019s birthday. The master had died. Somebody asked him, why are you celebrating? \u2013 Because as far as I know, the master denied you. He never accepted you as his disciple.\u00a0 You tried long, that I know. You tried again and again, that I know, but every time you were refused. You were never initiated by him. So why are you celebrating his birthday? Traditionally it is to be celebrated only by the accepted disciples.\u2019<\/p>\n

The master laughed and he said, \u2019precisely because he refused me, I celebrate. Now I can understand his compassion. If he had accepted me, I may have become just an imitator. Because he threw me into myself continuously, by and by I stood on my own feet. By and by I dropped the desperate search to cling to somebody else. He helped me. He was my master. In his rejection he accepted me.\u2019<\/p>\n
