In this category of Human Nature, I want to share my thoughts with others so that all can be benefitted. Knowledge has to be shared with everyone. Also, one should not before reading fully , rush to say, “Oh, I know this already”. All such ideas are to be assimilated and reflected in one’s life.Otherwise it will be only “information gathering” and remains ineffective.So let us approach with an open mind these ideas.
I.Carry forward
What we carry forward in our lives ? Is it necessary to do so ? Can we be selective in carrying forward and that too only what’s necessary in life ? Is it necessary to carry forward all the hurts, insults, harsh words of others?Is there any use of such an approach except loading our minds? Let us read the following story and take its valuable message.It has been credited to various sages and without bothering about that, let us make use of the message conveyed.
Two young monks were travelling from one village to another walking the whole distance.On the way they had to cross a flooded river.At that time they heard the screaming of an young woman who was drowning . The monks were taught that they should not even think of women leave alone touching them!So,they were wondering what to do. Then suddenly the younger monk jumped into the river and rescued the young woman carrying her on his shoulders.He laid her on the shore and slowly she recovered and thanked the monk profusely. The senior monk was shocked as to how the other fellow touched the woman without any hesitation.The two resumed their journey. There was no exchange of words between the two. After nearly two hours when they were nearing the destination the senior could not control himself and asked the younger monk,”What have you done? Have you not broken our vow?How dare you touched that young woman?
The younger monk replied calmly : “I HAVE LEFT HER TWO HOURS BACK. YOU ARE STILL CARRYING HER”.
