One day a person climbed up the mountain where a hermit was meditating.
He had taken refuge and was asked: - “What are you doing here alone in such a solitude place?”
To which she replied: - “I have lots of work !”
- “And how can you have so much work? I don't see anything around you here...?”
- “I have to train 2 hawks & 2 eagles, assure 2 rabbits, discipline 1 snake, motivate a donkey & tame a lion.....” -
“And, where have they gone that I don't see them?” -
“I have them all inside here within me...!!
✓ The hawks stare on everything that is presented to me, good or bad, I have to work on them to see only good things. They are my eyes.
✓ The 2 eagles with their claws hurt & destroy, I have to train them not to hurt. They are my hands.
✓ Rabbits want to go where they want, at the same time they do not want to face difficult situations, I have to teach them to be calm even if there is suffering or stumbling. They are my feet.
✓ The donkey is always tired, stubborn & does not want to carry the load each time I walk. That is my body!
✓ The most difficult to tame is the "snake." Although it is locked in a strong cage with 32 bars, it is always ready to sting, bite & poison anyone nearby. I have to discipline it... that's my tongue.
✓ I also have one Lion. Oh ... how proud, vain, he thinks that "he is the king." I have to tame him. And that's my ego.
So you see, my friend, I have lots of work..... “
Reflect : We all may have the same — Lots to work on ourselves ! So Stop Criticising, Evaluating n Judging others !
Let’s First work on ourselves !!
Good evening !!
