The wise man "maybe" story and higher order

[...] The deeper interconnectedness of all things and events implies that the
mental labels of “good” and bad” are ultimately illusory. They always imply
a limited perspective and so are true only relatively and temporarily. This is
illustrated in the story of a wise man who won an expensive car in a lottery.
His family and friends were very happy for him and came to celebrate. “Isn't
it great!” they said. “You are so lucky.” The man smiled and said “Maybe.”
For a few weeks he enjoyed driving the car. Then one day a drunken driver
crashed into his new car at an intersection and he ended up in the hospital,
with multiple injuries. His family and friends came to see him and said,
“That was really unfortunate. “ Again the man smiled and said, “Maybe.”
While he was still in the hospital, one night there was a landslide and his
house   fell   into   the   sea.   Again   his   friends   came   the   next   day   and   said,
“Weren't you lucky to have been here in hospital.” Again he said, “Maybe.”
The   wise   man's  “maybe”  signifies  a refusal  to judge  anything that
happens.   Instead   of   judging   what   is,   he   accepts   it   and   so   enters   into
conscious   alignment   with   the   higher   order.  [...]
