The Masseur is a 46 years old man. He is a very modest man.
Most people would not recognize that he is a very skillful masseur.
Yet he was well known, even across countries.
Some entrepreneurs outside Indonesia had flied him to their countries,
had him massaged them,
paid him US$300 for a session, and numerous gifts along,
and flied him back here to Indonesia.
Yet today, he was with me,
he gave me the excellent service, just like what he had given to those riches;
though I can only pay him US$5 for a session.
“I do not set fixed tariff for my service.
I just know that people need to be healthy,
and that I have to give massage to those who ask me.
Payment is just the expression of their gratitude, toward the service I gave them;
I do not care how much they pay.
I only do my best.”
This masseur, I bow before him in respect.
Not only because he has mastered the secret massage tradition so well;
he has also mastered the art of life.
