Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes it is sweet and other times salty.How we view the complexity of life and it's problem will determine our outlook and ultimately it's solution.A few days ago I came across a story that hit me and taught me the very nature of the world and it's problem.
A troubled man went to a monk to seek advice for his life problem.He was met by the monk who did not say a word .
The monk took a handful of salt and mixed it into a cup of water and offered it to the man. He drank it and spitted it out as it was too salty.
Next he took a pail of water and mixed in another handful of salt before offering a cup to the man. He took a mouthful and said it is bearable as it is less salty.
Then he took the man to the pond in the temple and threw a handful salt into the water. He took a ladle and scooped a cupful and offered it to the man. This time he drank it and did not complained.
He than explained to the man that if we are to solved problem we must behaved like the pond, able to absorbed the different flavours of life. Be like the water in the pond............
