One day Nasrudin was searching diligently on the ground outside his house.
His neighbors saw him and asked him what he was doing.
"I've lost the key to a great treasure." replied Nasrudin.
"Oh, a great treasure." said his neighbors, "We will help you."
So everyone joined Nasrudin, searching for his key.
The search went on for quite sometime. Finally, one of the neighbors asked,
"Nasrudin, have you any idea of the exact area you were in when you lost the key?"
"Oh yes", said Nasrudin," I lost the key in the house."
"Then why are you looking out here?", asked his bewildered neighbors.
"Because there is more light out here than in my house." replied Nasrudin.

So you're wondering why the hell did she blog this strange story. Be patient, grasshopper.
This story is symbolic. Nasrudin stories are used by Sufi in teaching excercises.
Everyone is looking for a key. Or the Key.
The one thing that they need to find Happiness, Bliss, Peace, God, Love, Joy , whatever.
Nasrudin shows us that most people look outside of themselves to find the key.
We look for the key at work, in church, in success, in Relationships,etc..
But the key is inside. Unfortunately, looking inside of ourselves can be very scary.
Waaaay too many fears to face.
Better to look outside, where the light is better.
Love, Laughter, Peace and Blessings!
