About being mindful of the joy of confirmation

One day, shortly after I had delivered the Uposatha Day Dhamma Talk to the local villagers in our monastery, a middle-aged man approached me reverently, his face radiant. He bowed very slowly three times and then, raising his hands in añjali, thanked me for giving such a wonderful discourse. I asked him if there was anything in particular that I had said that had moved him so much. He said, 'No. All of it. What you said just now agreed exactly with my own understanding.' 'Maybe', I said to him, 'you should consider the possibility that we might both be wrong.'
