A Maharaja would go around the country to see the state of his people. He decided to walk alone. Just a few meters walk outside the palace of his leg was injured because of stumbling stone. He thought, "It was a walk in the country is very poor. I have to fix it. "Maharaja then asked all the ministers palace. He was ordered to cover all roads in the country with the best cowhide. Soon the palace ministers make preparations. They collect the cows from all over the country.
In the midst of a tremendous rush, came a hermit, overlooking the Maharaja. He said the Maharaja, "O my lord, my lord why you want to create so many cow leather for lining the streets in this country, when in fact the sire need is two pieces of cowhide to coat the soles of the feet sire alone." It is said that since the world found that the skin foot coating that we call "Slippers".
reflections:
There are valuable lessons from the story. To make the world a comfortable place to live, sometimes, we must change our perspective, our hearts, and ourselves, not by changing the way the world is, or may even regret the fate which had happened in his life.
Because we are often mistaken in interpreting the world. World, in our minds, sometimes simply a personal form. World, we interpret as our own, which is our own players. No one else involved there, because, often in our view, the world, is a shadow of ourselves.
Yes, indeed, we pursue the path of life is steep and rocky. Where we choose, lining every street with a furry rug so we never feel the pain, or heart lining with leather upholstery, so that we can survive through the streets of that?
