Within or outside?

Should one look outside or within to find enlightenment?

There was a person who wanted to attain enlightenment.So he goes to the nearest spiritual guru to get help.

The wise guru asks him to meditate daily and suggests that he ask himself one question : Who am I?

The person finds this ridiculously simple and of no real value so he tries another more famous guru.

This guru urges him to stay in his abode and carry out his daily chores in exchange for showing him the path to enlightenment.

This makes sense and so the fellow becomes the disciple carrying out all tasks menial or not for the guru.

5 years pass and still the fellow is nowhere close to enlightenment.
Frustrated and bitter,he approaches the guru to know the path to enlightenment.

The advise he receives is to meditate daily and ask himself the following question : Who am I?

So are you that person? :)

Cheers.
