The Truth - 31
The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth
The story is told of two
Monks in Ancient Tiberia who were engaged in their usual long walk to unwind.
They came to a shallow stream and needed to cross it to continue their walk.
Right there they met a known prostitute in town who also needed to cross the stream because she had an appointment on the other side but she was fearful that she might get carried away by the stream and so she stood there looking at the water as it rolled by and fretting.
When she saw the Monks, she heaved a sigh of relief and approached them asking for help; all she wanted was for them to hold her hands so that she would cross with them but the older Monk offered to carry her on his back. She quickly jumped at the offer and immediately mounted on his back. They successfully navigated the stream and soon enough were on the other side.
When he dropped her, she breathed a wheezy thank you and moved on.
The older Monk observed to himself though that the younger Monk said nothing all through the crossing of the stream, and as they made progress on their walk.
Eventually after more than 2 hours of walking, they decided to go back to the Monastery.
And as soon as they reached the steep staircase that led to the Monastery, the younger Monk breathed out his confusion and asked his Senior Monk
How could you have done that kind of thing, being fully conscious of the fact that as Monks we are not allowed to touch women?
The older Monk looked as his Junior Colleague and told him - I put her down more than 5 hours ago, why are you still carrying her?
Don't let anyone rent a Real Estate in your Brain.
Whatever any man does is his business and even if you have observed it, it is not your business to fret and enter into the HOUSE OF THOUGHTS over another's actions.
Now, that is the Truth, the WHOLE Truth and nothing but the Truth

Your brain was given to you for your own use
ReplyDeleteWhen you allow others to rent and occupy it at your own expense, you are going a disservice to yourself
From today, decide not maximally use your brain power for yourself
Decide and act on it
I love this write up specially, I wish we could wire oir mindset and thoughts like that. It's going to relief us so much unnecessary stress and minding our business. Some of us continue to carry a scenario for minutes, hours, days, weeks and years as the case maybe. It's going to choke us sometime in life. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is possible to change the mind 1.0 which is the default mind that came with us to earth to mind 2.0 which is the mind that we need to prosper with if we must. It is a matter of training and retraining.
