Hi friends , today I would like to share about something very important to all of us , now a days many people are facing many problems…in that some are beyond your control , so I wants to share how to come back from this situation , where I wants to start with a small story……
Once upon a time a young man was very unhappy with his life, he felt depressed and terrible all the time . He came to know about a Zen master near the town .one day he decided to visit the him and ask solutions for his problems. Young man went to him and said, sir I have so many problems in my life that I'm always sad, please tell me some solutions ,How can I be happy???
Zen master listened to him carefully and got up , young man was confused to see him leaving without saying anything. But he waited for him. After some time master came with a glass of water and a bowl full of salt. He asked him to take a hand full of salt and put it in the glass and drink the water. Young man was confused but did as instructed by the master. Then he asked , “ How does it taste ?” young man replied , " it is terrible ” all that I could taste was salt.
Now he asked the young man to take a hand full of salt and come with him. They both went to the nearby lake. Then he said , now put this salt in the lake.young man swirled his hand full of salt in to the lake. After that he asked him to drink the water from the lake. Young man took some water and drank . Now he asked, “How does it taste?” young man replied , “ sir it taste good……” Zen master questioned again were you able to taste salt in this water ? He replied , no not at all.
They both sat near that lake . The master put his hand on the young man's shoulder and said my dear friend , the pain of life is like that pure salt no more , no less. The amount of pain in life remains the same , but the amount we taste the “pain ” depends on the container we put into. So when you're in pain the only thing you can do is enlarge your sense of things , stop being a glass and became a lake.
So friends , Now here the glass of water and lake indicate our patience. And if we see in our lives , we will find that if you have little patience like a glass of water then even your small problems in your life will start feeling big to you and if you have abundance of patience like lake then even the biggest problems will not be able to disturb you too. Ofcourse there are difficulties in the life of every person. Infact ,there is no person in the world who does not have difficulties in his life. Difficulties are a part of our life, if there is no sorrow in life ,then there can be no feelings of happiness too. But when we start thinking too much about problems and start worry too much about it, then we became like that glass of water which will became bitter even with little salt in it.
So whenever there are difficulties in your life try to have patience like lake and try to deal with those difficulties .only then you can live with a happy and peaceful life.
