Be Still and Know !

A scholar saw Buddha and asked, "Who are you ? Are you God ? Are you a Gandharva ?"

Buddha said , "No",

He looked like a King, a God coming from heaven but he lived like a beggar.

The scholar asked again, "Are you a Chakravrti or Great King - one who rules the world ?"

Buddha Said, "No" ,

The scholar was annoyed by now and asked, "Are you a man ? "

Buddha Said, "No" ,

The enraged scholar said, "Are you a animal then ?"

Budhha Said, "No, not an animal , not a tree, not a rock."

"Then who are you?", the man asked,

Buddha said, " I am awareness, just pure awareness, just a mirror, reflecting all that is !".
