I was visiting my granny one day and we were having a chat about 'spiritual things' and I finally realized what it meant to me! Trying to be a practicing Buddhist, I have been struggling with the idea of getting a vehicle. Well i finally realized that it is not so much the vehicle, but what kind it is I realized i do not need to go out and buy an expensive vehicle with all the 'trimmings' but something that will serve the purpose while i am in the human realm. I am also trying to apply this principle in every facet of my life and that includes the food that i put into my body.

We indeed need to be practical at times even if we are pious. Afterall, holiness is measured on things we do and not on how others see us... Cheers, Marj :) Such a very funny but straight-to-the-point anecdote. We indeed need to be practical at times even if we are pious.
