There was a monk who lived a very simple life but was also well known for his wisdom, and his ability to teach and explain the principles of awakened living. On one occasion he was giving a lecture when an audience member stood up and challenged him. He said my master is renowned for his extraordinary abilities. He can heal people; he can predict the future; he has almost superhuman strength; he is an energy master. He kept listing the masters abilities and achievements, and then challenged the speaker, saying, What abilities do you have? What extraordinary things can you do? The monk quietly replied. I perform miracles every day. When I am hungry, I eat; when Im thirsty I drink; when Im tired I sleep; when Im sad I weep; when I am happy I laugh. And I do these things with reverence and awareness. Tell me, my friend, what could I possibly do that is greater than all that?
