Frugal as I am, I must calculate the marginal benefits of every penny before I spend it. No money must ever go to waste.

Once, after a group meditation session, I was overcome by a sudden impulse to purchase a print of Master's paintings. After a while of consideration, I finally could not resist it any longer and went to the service counter to make my purchase. The sister initiate on duty told me, "You must place an advance order if you want to buy a print of Master's paintings. We will notify you when it is ready. However, we have a print of the "Moon Night" available that was ordered by a sister initiate. It has been ready for a long time and she has not come to pick it up. We can let you have it if you wish." I jumped up with delight because that was exactly the painting I wanted.

When I went to bed that night, as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw a radiant moon, big and full, which accompanied me till daybreak. Though I was extremely happy when I awoke, I thought that it was only a coincidence, and did not pay much attention to it. It never occurred to me that I would continue to see the same vision for the next three days. It was then that I became enlightened on this matter: Do not measure everything by worldly standards. Master's paintings are more than just a few strokes of colors painted on a piece of canvas and nailed onto a wooden board. Her paintings are priceless treasures that can elevate the spirituality of humankind.
