There once was a pilgrim whose name was Anton. He sought the holy place where it was said that the Spirit of his God dwelt. He walked the dusty roads of the great distance it was from his home to the shrine. He walked at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently for rest and relaxation. He believed his God would still be there whenever he arrived. His fellow pilgrims sometimes envied him his easygoing rate. They felt themselves in a far greater hurry to reach the shrine and worship. But these fellow pilgrims could find nothing wrong or sacrilegious in the Anton’s pace. They found no fault in his answer that the Spirit would be there whenever he arrived.
One day, near his journey’s end, Anton felt ill. He only traveled two miles that day. The illness just debilitated him. The next day, just a few steps down the road and Anton collapsed and died.
His fellow pilgrim heard of this, of course. They said of Anton that he appeared to be a good man. But maybe his timing was off. Surely the Spirit would still be in place, but Anton would not be at the shrine whenever. . . .
What he needed to have done, they said, was to boost his level of will and sincerity. One doesn’t ever know, they said, when one might want to have accomplished something when it turns out to be too late. Anton, they said, had needed to increase his level of personal will to reach his goal as soon as humanly possible. Surely he did not need to put himself under undo pressure, for God would be there always. Yes, they said, he needed to deepen his commitment to his goal.
And, they said, he needed to increase his apparent level of sincerity. Of course, they couldn’t tell what his degree of sincerity was. No one can read another’s soul. But it appeared as if Anton, to them, didn’t really care all that much. Or he would have picked up the tempo of his travels.
They shook their heads in incredulity as they increased their own tempo of walking and thought, within themselves, of their own will to worship

at the shrine as soon as possible. Were they more like Anton than they would admit, even to their fellow pilgrims?
Are you like Anton? Do you want happiness and, therefore, to know the meaning of life? But you think it will always be there? What’s the rush? It is true, happiness will always be there within you. No need to stress yourself over it. But what are you missing when you don’t put as much of your will into as you can? If you only pretend sincerity?
