Each his own way

One morning, when the Buddha was talking with his disciples, a man approached him to ask for advice.

- Does God exist?

“Yes, it does,” replied the Buddha.

After lunch, another man came and asked:

- Does God exist?

“No, it does not exist,” answered the Buddha.

Towards evening a third man came in with the same question.

- Does God exist?

“It's you yourself,” replied the Buddha.

- But this is ridiculous, teacher! - exclaimed one of the disciples. - How can you give three different answers to the same question?

“Because different people ask,” answered the enlightened one. “And each one approaches the divine in its own way: through confidence, through denial, or through doubt.”
