SPIRITUAL AND WORLDLY

A couple once had a parrot who could only say three words, "Let's make out." This was very embarrassing to the couple. They felt that their parrot needed a more refined and spiritual vocabulary. A friend of theirs had a parrot who could only say, "Let's pray." They decided to put the two parrots together so that their parrot would be edified by their friend's parrot. The next day, when they pulled the hood from the cage, the couple's parrot said, "Let's make out," and the other parrot said, "My prayers have been answered!" Let's remember that our life on this earth is an integration between the spiritual and the life of the world. We are not here to deny the world but to affirm the spiritual right in the midst of the world.
