THE EVER ADVOCATED RIGHT LIVING AMIDST CHAOS!



There was certain problem, a bit serious in nature and there was a specific discipline advised to be followed for good of the individual..

2 men started following those set of actions involved meticulously..

In time,

One man deviated from those actions on a day and because of that there was a certain set back in him..

He was
  • Instantly a lost person,
  • Slowly recovered and
  • Limped back to normalcy but
Constantly cursed himself for the deviation he made all the time feeling low..

After a while, the 2nd man too deviated from the discipline and because of that, he too had a certain set back in him..

He was
  • Not a lost person,
  • Slowly recovered and
  • Soon came back to normalcy but
Never cursed himself for the deviation he made all the time remaining cheerful!"

The Master told the story and asked His disciples why such different behaviors were seen with the 2 men. None could answer on that. The Master said,

"It's simple..

The 1st man broke the strict discipline imposed because he got
  • Bored with that,
  • Expanded breaking the chains of that discipline for no genuine reason,
  • Continued believing that nothing goes wrong and thus
  • Remained in a loose way..
The 2nd man too did break the discipline because
  • There was a certain specific problem with him including part boredom too which necessarily needed to be addressed at that moment but there, he
  • Deviated from that discipline the min required,
  • Addressed the problem in front to the point and
  • Quickly was back to his discipline..
No doubt, he too suffered in the process and but no regrets, that state was gracefully accepted by him and he lived thru' the situation!"

The Master concluded,

"Sure, self-love is highly interesting and the ordinary human being feels lost when that self-love is forcibly curtailed but
  • Life gives problems,
  • At times the tough ones too and
  • Expect the human beings to live thru' and rise..
Here,

One who sticks to Truth as much will live thru' that life gracefully facings ups and downs with equanimity

But

That one who hovers over untruth may rejoice temporarily when luck favors but sure will be totally down when odds strike!"
