Burden of the World
The Burden of this World. Two disciples were discussing the most expressive symbol for this concept. One proposed gold, but the other suggested that white marble might be better. Both agreed that a burden, meaning something weighty, would be best expressed by a stone. But the Teacher observed, The smallest seed corresponds to the concept of the burden of the world. (BR, 88)
The symbol of the burden of the world is a man carrying a sphere. (LMG II, p 78)
