One day the Zen master Oboko said to Whim: ‘Have you finally discovered where your true Self is when you are driving a car?’

‘Yes, Master,’ said Whim, smiling happily.

‘Where?’ asked Oboko.

‘Whenever I’m driving a car my True Self is right there!’ and Whim pointed directly at the master’s chest.

‘That’s very good,’ said Oboko. ‘But then where is my True Self when you are driving your car?’

‘Well,’ said Whim with a frown. ‘I guess your True Self is right here,’ and he pointed at his own chest.

‘That’s very good,’ said Oboko. ‘But then how can we tell who is you and who is me?’

‘Simple,’ said Whim, smiling happily again. ‘You drive a junky station wagon and I drive a Porsche.’

When the self has been burned away, watch the children come out and play.
