Attachments distort perception - the Master often had to talk about this.
One day, to their delight, the disciples received a magnificent example confirming the truth of these words. They heard the Master ask one mother:
— How is your daughter doing?
- My beloved daughter! She's so happy! She has such a wonderful husband! He gave her a car, bought her the jewelry she dreamed of, hired servants for her. He serves her breakfast in bed, and she doesn't get up until noon. Not a husband, but a real prince!
- How is your son doing?
- Oh, my poor boy! Well, he took the grouch as his wife! He provided her with everything she wanted: a car, jewelry, an army of servants. And she lies in bed until noon! And she won’t even get up to cook breakfast for her husband!
