Give time - A moral story #GetOverforYourself

Lord Buddha was once travelling along with the disciples in a village. It was afternoon and unfortunately no one offered anything for their lunch. Buddha didn't utter a thing and continued the travel. But one of the disciples got hurt that none of the villagers respected the Buddha. This disturbed his inner peace and that further increased the hate...

Buddha, however, got to know the struggle that disciple is going through. Buddha stopped and turned to him, and said "I am thirsty, could you bring me some water from the near by lake..". The disciple took an empty jar to bring water, but returned with the same empty jar...

When Buddha asked why he didn't bring water, the disciple said, "Just before I reached the lake, a Bullock cart went across it to the other end. So the dirt present at the deep got mixed with the water."

Buddha asked him to go after some time. But still the dirt didn't settle down. This repeated for five times. For the next time, the dirt was settled down completely, and the disciple brought the water for the Buddha..

Then Buddha told the disciple, "The disturbance in the river caused the dirt to mix with the fresh water; At such times, we have to wait till the dirt settles down. Similarly, we should wait patiently to settle the disturbances that occur in our thoughts, only then the thirst for the inner peace will be satisfied..."

So it says to give time for the things settle down rather than thinking about the same over and over again..

(Meanwhile we can concentrate on other things to be completed..)

Bye-bye strict timetables...! - The Bloggers League 2022

Author: Rama Subrahmanyam (ramasubrahmanyam.m@gmail.com) When we are planning for multi-tasking, we divide our time and allocate it for each task. That is a great thing, as it gives a chance for incremental growth, eventually getting compounded... Scheduling makes us punctual; sometimes forces us to be punctual if someone is counting on us, say an examination, office meeting, so on... Besides strict things, some activities should happen at planned times, like sports, gym, etc. But, we still have things, that can be done in our free time - say reading books, solving puzzles, or learning something of our passion. Should we also maintain the timetable in those cases...? Well, may not be that necessary... We get used to a task at the same time if we have a strict timetable; In a way, can also affect our peace... Suppose due to urgent work, we missed a task - We may develop a bad feeling, ...

How can we become narrow-minded people without realising it?

In science, whenever we observe a novel event, we start sharpening our brains to decode it. We make a couple more observations related to that event, and try to get a reason for it. It was also the same with the previous generation of scientists. They observed various new phenomena and they gathered as much information as possible to get the accurate reason behind them. But there was a problem with the human mind. In the past days, when there was limited information at hand and more time was required for getting new information, scientists had to make the best possible theories (i.e., explanations) with whatever data was available. It was like a competition, where the scientist with the best theory would win. This "winner" scientist, should be able to explain the data from future experiments with the theory. Consider that, a new experiment happened later, but the results were not explained by the theory of our scientist, then the theory was to be changed, and again the compet...
