Buddha’s advice to calm a disturbed mind
Once buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers.. this was in the initial days. while they were traveling they happened to pass a lake. they stopped there and buddha told one of his disciples i am thirsty. do get me some water from that lake there. the disciple walked up to the lake. when he reached it he noticed that right at that moment a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. as a result the water became very muddy very turbid. the disciple thought how can i give this muddy water to buddha to drink so he came back and told buddha the water in there is very muddy. i dont think it is fit to drink. after about half an hour again buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. the disciple obediently went back to the lake. this time too he found that the lake was muddy. he returned and informed buddha about the same. after sometime again buddha asked the same disciple to go back. the disciple reached the lake to find the lake absolutely clean and clear with pure water in it. the mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. so he collected some water in a pot and brought it to buddha. buddha looked at the water and then he looked up at the disciple and said see what you did to make the water clean. you let it be. and the mud settled down on its own and you got clear water. your mind is also like that when it is disturbed just let it be. give it a little time. it will settle down on its own. you dont have to put in any effort to calm it down. it will happen. it is effortless.

Management lessons from akbar birbal
On a cold winter day akbar and birbal took a walk along the lake. a thought came to birbal that a man would do anything for money. he expressed his feelings to akbar. akbar then put his finger into the lake and immediately removed it because he shivered with cold. akbar said "i don t think a man would spend an entire night in the cold water of this lake for money." birbal replied "i am sure i can find such a person." akbar then challenged birbal into finding such a person and said that he would reward the person with a thousand gold coins. birbal searched far and wide until he found a poor man who was desperate enough to accept the challenge. the poor man entered the lake and akbar had guards posted near him to make sure that he really did as promised.the next morning the guards took the poor man to akbar. akbar asked the poor man if he had indeed spent the night in the lake. the poor man replied that he had. akbar then asked the poor man how he managed to spend the night in the lake. the poor man replied that there was a street lamp near by and he kept his attention affixed on the lamp and away from the cold. akbar then said that there would be no reward as the poor man had survived the night in the lake by the warmth of the street lamp. the poor man went to birbal for help. the next day birbal did not go to court. the king wondering where he was sent a messenger to his home. the messenger came back saying that birbal would come once his khichri was cooked. the king waited hours but birbal did not come. finally the king decided to go to birbal s house and see what he was upto. he found birbal sitting on the floor near some burning twigs and a bowl filled with khichri hanging five feet above the fire. the king and his attendants couldn t help but laugh. akbar then said to birbal "how can the khichri be cooked if it so far away from the fire?" birbal answered "the same way the poor man received heat from a street lamp that was more than a furlong away." the king understood his mistake and gave the poor man his reward. the management lesson: "whenever your boss commits a mistake just provide him with a mere reflection of the mistake." this could be one of the best methods to handle people above you. look at the dignity with which birbal handled the situation without any anger or frustration. he showed his boss akbar his mistake without abusing him or making him feel embarrassed. thanks arun m
Learning 16 - taste of life
Hi hope you ve missed my post. was busy with a project hence couldnt post. heres my next learning for you today. hope you like it. an experienced & wise master grew tired of his apprentice complaining. one morning he sent the apprentice for some salt. when the apprentice returned the master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and drink it. "how does it taste?" the master asked. "bitter" spit the apprentice. the master chuckled and then asked the young man to put a handful of salt in the lake nearby. the two walked to the nearby lake. after the apprentice swirled his handful of salt into the water the old man said "now drink from the lake.." as the water dripped down the young man s chin the master asked "now how does this taste?" "fresh & sweet" remarked the apprentice. "do you taste the salt?" asked the master. "no" said the young man. at this the master sat beside the young man who so reminded him of himself at one time and held his hands. he told the young man "the pain of life is pure salt; no more no less. the amount of pain in life remains exactly the same. however the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the container we put the pain in. so when you are in pain the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things . . . "stop being a glass. become a lake."
