Contemplative Haven: Inbetween Mansions 
Inbetween Mansions
I'm working on the Third Mansions, but came across something today which I wanted to share:
A rabbi put this question to his
students:"How can we determine the
hour of dawn, when
the night ends and the day begins?"
"When from
a
distance you can distinguish between a dog and a sheep," suggested
one.
"No," answered the rabbi.
"When you
can
distinguish between a fig tree and a grapevine," offered another."No."
"Tell us," the students
said. The teacher answered,
"When you look into the face of a human being
and have enough light to recognize
in him your brother. Up until then it is
night, and darkness is still with
us."
