Once, a person sat in the world and thought. He thought, “The sky is there above me.” He looked at it. He did not know what to think about it further. He saw the sea and thought, “The sea extends ahead of me.” He did not know what else could be thought of it. He saw a person going on the road and thought, “I am walking on the road.” He didn’t know what to think about him.
The person went into a chapel and looked at God and thought, “God is there everywhere around me.” He did not dare to think further and bowed his head.
The next day the person did not survive to think about anything. He sat on a stool and saw, “The sky is below me today.”
God came to him and said, “You are above the sky today. Because yesterday you admitted that the sky is above you.”
He smiled and said, “The sky is always above us, God. We cannot think of going higher than it. The day we do go above it, we will be God.”
God asked, “Don’t you want to be God, then?”
He replied, “No.”
God was surprised. He asked, “Why?”
The person smiled again and replied, “Many people dream of being God. I want to be a person whom God will make the sky over which he places his foot. I want to feel God.”
God placed his hand over the person’s head, “So be it.”
