One Master read a lot. Every time he stopped reading, he left a new bookmark in the book and threw away the old one.
- Why do you take a new bookmark every time? - they asked him.
“But the place in the book is new every time, and I am no longer the same as I was a few pages ago,” answered the Master.
“It can’t be that you change like that after just a few pages of reading,” they objected to him.
The master smiled:
“That part of me that doesn’t change after reading, doesn’t see the difference between a book, a bookmark and me.”
