Each one listen, what they want to listen!!


Once upon a time Lord Buddha was giving discourse to his disciples, during end of the session, he told to his disciples “Do your duty before going to sleep”.  One of the disciple wake up with deep consolation and says "my duty is meditation" and he went  away.

At the same time one thief was passing that side and he listen to Buddha’s statement “Do your duty before going to sleep”,  with deep consolation, he says my duty is “doing robbery as much as possible” and he went away.

At the same time one prostitute was passing that side and she listen to Buddha’s statement “Do your duty before going to sleep”, with deep consolation, she says my duty is “getting a rich customer” and she went away.

See friends, Lord Buddha’s statement remain same, but the interpretation of the individual varies. Each interpretation depends on mirror reflections of individual. Most of the cases, interpretations depend on individual’s phobia. each one listen, what they want to listen, few of them won't listen at all. 

This story has great significance in today’s world. Most of the time, when we see things with polluted and dogmatic eyes, everything appears as pollution. Because of that, stress levels in the body will increase and create health disorders. If we can do the meditation regularly, we can release the pollution from our mind, body and soul. Our vision will be clearer with cleansed eyes, and then we can see the truth as is.

-Meditation is a medication for all.
