A master had a student who had never seen a cow nor tasted milk. But he knew that milk was nutritious. So he wanted to find a cow, milk it & drink the milk. He went to his master & asked him”Do you know anything about cow?”
The master answered “of course” the student requested “please describe a cow to me” so the master described the cow” A cow has 4 legs, it is a tame, docile animal, not found in the forest but in village. Its milk is white & is very good for health” he described the type of tail & ears it has, everything.
After this description the student went in search of a cow. On the way he came across a statute of a cow. He looked & thought, “this is surely what the master described to me” by chance that day some people who lived nearby were whitewashing their houses & there was a bucket of whitewash near the statute. The student saw it & concluded “this must be that milk which they say is so good for you to drink” he gulped down some of the whitewash, became terribly ill & had to be taken to hospital.
After he recovered he went back to his master & angrily charged, “ You are no teacher”
His master asked, “What’s the matter? “ the student replied,” Your description of a cow was not at all accurate”
What happened, he explained & the master asked, “ Did you milk the cow yourself?” “NO” that’s is why you suffered.
The cause of suffering among intellectuals today is not because they don’t really know. They know a little. But what they know is not their own knowledge & that is why they suffer. A little or partial knowledge is always dangerous life.
Power of Mind.
The mind is a reservoir for numerous powers by utilizing the resources, which are hidden within it. One can attain any heights of success in the world. If the mind is trained, made one point & inward, it also has power to penetrate into the deeper levels of our being. It is the finest instrument that a human being can ever have.
