Here's a story i like. Wonder if it will be in the new movie about Alexander?

Alexander the great hears about this Great sage named Diogenes and wanted to meet him. His guys track Diogenes down, as he's a wanderer who's given up even his begging bowl.
Alexander goes down to the river where Diogenes is sitting on a rock, sunning himself. Alexander greets him and tells him that he, Alexander, is a great conquerer with many riches, and Diogenes can have anything he wishes. "Anything?" asks the sage. "Yes, anything," replies the conquerer.
Diogenes looks up at Alexander from his rock by the river and says, "Well, there is something you could do for me. You could move a little to the right. You're blocking the sun."
After a short time hanging out there by the river, Alexander, who is busy and all being a conquerer, says, " I've got to go conquer Asia Minor (or India, or whatever it was). When I've finished, I'll come back and relax with you by the river."
"Why don't you relax now?"
"No, I must conquer first, then I'll relax."
"You will die first," replied the sage.
And so he did.

All of our endeavors, be they worldly or 'spiritual', are contrary to our natural state, which is relaxation. No effort required. The paradox is, we have to make these efforts in order to discover that we were, we are, relaxation itself. All along. Like St Francis said, "What you are looking for is what is doing the looking."
At some point, sooner or later, we give up all views and just rest. Then we can truly help all beings who don't exist and think they do and thus suffer.
