Welcome back guys to my another new blog. I hope you all are doing great and having good health. As you have seen todays topic. So lets start with a short story….
Depression is the main reason for most diseases like heart disease etc. If a person is mentally healthy then he can face any situation as famous cricketer Yuvraj Singh fought with cancer.
If we ask people the reason for their depression or stress, then 4 out of 5 people will say that the reason for their stress and troubles is some other person. Most people's stress is caused by their emotional inability or lack of tolerance, but they feel that the cause of their stress is another person.
Once Gautam Buddha was passing through a village. The people of that village had a misconception about Gautam Buddha, due to which they considered Buddha as their enemy. When Gautam Buddha came to the village, the villagers called Buddha good and bad and started giving baduas.
Gautam Buddha kept listening to the villagers calmly and when the villagers got tired of speaking, Buddha said - "If all of you have finished talking, then I should leave".
The villagers were surprised to hear the Buddha. One of them said – “We have not praised you. We are giving you money. Don't you mind???"
Buddha said - go, I do not take your abuses. What happens when you abuse, as long as I do not accept the abuses, it will have no consequences. Few days back a person gave me some gift but I refused to take that gift then that person took the gift back. If I don't take it, how can anyone give it to me?
Buddha asked politely – If I had not received the gift, what would have happened to the person who gave the gift.
Someone from the crowd said – The person must have kept that gift with him.
Buddha said – I feel very sorry for all of you because I am unable to take these abuses of yours and hence these abuses of yours are left with you only.
Friends, this small story of the life of Lord Gautam Buddha can bring a big change in our life because most of us think that the cause of our sorrows is another person. No other person can be the cause of our troubles or sorrows and if we believe that someone else is the cause of our troubles then we ignore our lack of self control and emotional incompetence.
It is up to us whether we accept the negativity provided by others or not. If we accept negativity, then we ax ourselves on our own feet.
Thankyou!!
