128: [sage] 2023/01/21(土) 01:14:53.56 In his short story, ‘The Father Confessor’, the novelist Hermann Hesse explores the dynamics of challenge and acceptance – and reveals what lies beyond both. Hesse tells the story of two hermit monks. People flock to them to hear their confessions. The first monk, Joseph Famulus, listens, never passes judgment and treats everyone who comes to him in exactly the same way – with patience and receptivity. At the end of each confession he dismisses the confessor with a kiss on the forehead, ‘without judgment or forgiveness’ in a profound expression of acceptance. Joseph possesses ‘the gift of listening’, confessions ‘seemed to pour into his ears like water into the desert sands’, and his practice was ‘inviting all that was dammed up or encrusted within each soul to flow and pour out. When it did, he received it and wrapped it in silence.’ The other monk, Dion Pugil, reads souls and also treats everyone in the same way. But his way is different to Joseph’s. He judges and chastises, advises and challenges, compels and rectifies anyone who comes to see him. He orders penances and pilgrimages, compels friends to make up and even arranges marriages. Over the years, both have achieved renown as wise men and a steady stream of troubled people flock to their hermitages. One day Father Joseph, who has been suffering from a growing inner despair, is seized with the desire to travel to see Father Dion and ask him to hear his confession. He leaves everything to go in search of him. Arriving at a beautiful oasis in the desert, he enquires of a stranger where he might find Dion Pugil. The stranger offers to guide him and, at the end of the first day of traveling, he reveals that he himself is Dion Pugil. Joseph confesses to him and Father Dion, rather than chastising him, dismisses him with a kiss on the forehead, as Joseph himself had done to so many before. http://rio2016.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/earth/1604166982/128
