Buddha and Perception........

             

             Once upon a time while Buddha was sitting with his disciples, an old pupil of his came near to him and respectfully asked, “Ha Buddha, here in our town, there came a number of preachers, who are not only creating tensions among people but are also indulge in useless fighting. Some say world is Eternal and never ending. Some say that it's temporary and will end. Some say soul dies with body, other say it lives forever and so forth. So, who should I believe in?”

    

                   Buddha after being silent for a minute replied, “once upon a time, there was a king who ordered his servant to gather in one place four men who were born blind. Servant did what he was asked for. When four bling men reached, a huge elephant was brought in front of them. Now, king ordered to show one part of Elephant to one person and so on. Now, the first blind was shown the head of elephant, the trunk to the second, legs to the third and it’s tail to the fourth. Now king asked them what the elephant was like? Everyone answered according to his perception. As the first one said, Elephant was like a huge pot, it’s like a rope, second one said, it’s like a big pillar third one uttered, no but it’s a massive snake, fourth one said. Then they started arguing that Yes, it is! No, it’s not.

             Then Buddha said which later on became the part of history:     

         O how they cling and wrangle, some who claim

           For Preacher and monk, the honored name

            For, quarreling each to his view they cling

              Such folk see only one side of a thing.

     After that the Questioner and everyone with him was enlightened by this story.

             You see, in our lives, we are also fighting without seeing the whole picture. Hence everyone is right according to his/her point of view. Stop telling the person who only do argument or who don’t want to listen. Anyway, respect everyone as they all are right.
