About two years ago, when I was living at the San Ramon ashram, I had to drive into San Francisco one day for work. San Francisco is about an hour away and there are many homeless people in the city. I had brought a lunch with me that day and driving home at the end of the day, I still had a nice red apple left uneaten. As I pulled up to a stop light, I spotted a man on the street corner, whom, by his appearance, I could tell was homeless. I thought it would be nice to give him my apple, so I opened the car window and threw it in his direction. I watched as the apple sailed right past him and rolled down the road. He had made no effort at all to catch it. I was a little disappointed that the apple had gone to waste, but I realized the lesson behind the story: not to be attached to the fruits of my actions.<\/p>\n
