One
disciple
kept
asking
the
master,
'Master,
where
is
paradise?"
Finally
one
day,
the
master
asked
him,
'Do
you
really
want
to
know?"
The
disciple
sat
up
and
said,
'Yes!"
The master said, 'Alright, my first disciple Hemachandra is in paradise." After saying these words the master closed his eyes and went into meditation.
The disciple knew it would be a long time before the master opened his eyes. So, he went and asked some of the disciples if they knew where Hemachandra lived. No one seemed to know.
Finally
one
disciple
said,
'I
know
how
to
guide
you
there,
but
I
have
never
been
there
myself.
It
is
in
a
deep
valley
beyond
a
range
of
ice
covered
mountains."
The
disciple
wrote
down
the
directions
carefully
and
went
back
to
the
master.
He
told
him,
'Master,
I
wish
to
pay
a
visit
to
Hemachandra!"
The master was absorbed deeply in some work. Without even looking up he said, 'Go ahead."
The disciple started on his journey. He walked for many days, passing through sun, rain, snow, and what not. He became exhausted, on the verge of death. It took him one hundred days to reach the valley. When he finally reached it he looked at the valley and thought, 'This valley doesn"t look all that great. I have seen many more beautiful valleys. Why did the master call this paradise?"
He looked around and walked further and finally found Hemachandra"s hut. Hemachandra was very pleased to see him. He served him food and asked how the master and other disciples were doing.
All along, the disciple was thinking to himself, 'Master called this place paradise? I can"t believe it."
After a week-long stay he left and returned to his master. It took him another one hundred days to return home.
He went straight to the master and stated, 'You said that the place is paradise. But what I saw was the most ordinary place ever!"
The master said, 'Oh god! At the time of your enquiry, had you been more explicit about your intention, I would have told you the truth."
The
disciple
asked,
'What
is
the
truth?"
The
master
replied,
'Hemachandra
is
not
in
paradise.
Paradise
is
in
him!"
When you live close to Existence, without any expectation, seeing what is as it is and finding the blessings in it, you will carry heaven in you! Heaven is not geographical, it is psychological. It is not physical, it is mental. If you decide, you can be in heaven right now.
