CHARACTER OF THE PRACTITIONER OF THE INNER TEACHINGS OF REIKI

Usui continues…

If you are preparing a dish to serve to your friends, or for a party you are giving, you get the ingredients for the recipe. You find the squid, the octopus, and the fish. You find the rice, the spices, the soy, the miso. When a good housewife is shopping, she knows the merchants that she is buying from. She has traded there in the past and she knows the quality of the commodity they are purveying.
Now let us say that this housewife has all the ingredients for her recipe to make a very fine thing for her friends and her husband’s friends who are coming to dinner. Everything is there and sufficient to be cooked and go on the hibachi. There is a knock on her door. She opens and there is a peddler there. He says he has a wonderful ingredient that will improve anything she puts it with. She does not know the peddler. He may be good and what he says may be true, or he may be lying and what he says may not be true.
That prudent housewife is not going to buy his ingredient and combine it in her dish. Perhaps it could improve the dish, perhaps it could spoil the dish, and perhaps it could poison those who partake of the dish. She is going to say, “No, I am sorry. I have my ingredients. I know where they came from. I don’t know you, I don’t know the ingredient. And besides all that, my dish does, not call for your ingredient. I have all the ingredients, so I am sorry, but you must go somewhere else.
