LOTS OF WORK TO DO ON YOURSELF

*LOT OF WORK  TO DO*
One day one person climbed up a mountain where a hermit woman was meditating.

She had taken refuge and was asked:

- “What are you doing here alone in such a solitude place?”

To which she replied:
- “I have lots of work !”
- “And how can you have so much work?
I don't see anything around you here...?”
- “I have to train two hawks and two eagles, assure two rabbits, discipline one snake, motivate a donkey and tame a lion.....”
- “And, where have they gone that I don't see them?”
- “I have them all inside here within me...!!
✓ The hawks stare on everything that is presented to me, good or bad, I have to work on them to see only good things. *They are my eyes*.
✓ The two eagles with their claws hurt and destroy, I have to train them not to hurt. *They are my hands*.
✓ Rabbits want to go where they want, at the same time they do not want to face difficult situations, I have to teach them to be calm even if there is suffering or stumbling. *They are my feet*.
✓ The donkey is always tired, stubborn and does not want to carry the load each time I walk. *That is my body*!
✓ The most difficult to tame is the "snake." Although it is locked in a strong cage with 32 bars, it is always ready to sting, bite and poison anyone nearby. I have to discipline it... *that's my tongue*.
✓ I also have one Lion. Oh ... how proud, vain, he thinks that "he is the king." I have to tame him. *And that's my ego*.
So you see, my friend, I have lots of work..... “
Think & Reflect !

We all may have the same — Lots to work on ourselves !
*So, Stop Criticising, Evaluating and Judging others ; Let’s First work on ourselves* !!

*Let's adopt this in our daily and spiritual pursuit.*
