Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Dear Members, The Tiger roared Mightily, all the animals immediately ran for shelter. However an old cow ,sitting under a tree continued munching grass. The tiger was furious. It jumped in front of the cow and roared- " You don't wish to live? " Cow: Indeed I do. But what's the use of trying to run? you can easily catch me. Therefore, I am not making any attempt to escape. Tiger: Are you praising me out of fear? Or do you have some hiding somewhere here who has promised to protect you? Cow: Cowards have to many doubts. A coward dies every minute. I don't want such death. Tiger: How come you are so carefree? Who gave you this courage? Cow: Strange as it may seen, I got it from you. I observe that you are roaring because you are afraid of hunger. Your roaring is an indicator of your cowardice. I am not afraid of life circumstances, and I am not afraid of death either. Tiger: What gives you such courage? Cow: I told you just now. You are physically so strong and yet, you scream out of fear. Fear of not getting your food. But this, I realized that for getting food, physical strength is not a pre requisite. Therefore, I don't indulge in doing physical strength for the sake of food. I search in nature. Nature is the manifestation of Almighty. If he wishes, I will get my food. That is, I will continue to live. Because I have realized this. I don't die every minute. When death eventually comes, I become one with the nature. That is, I merge in the Almighty. This is my belief. This belief gives me courage. The Tiger felt very weak in its legs. It squatted on its hind legs and sheepishly looked at the cow. The cow silently continued what it was doing-- Munching Grass. The Moral is Tiger – Highly Intellectual people Roaring - Fear of Failures / EGO Animals – People in this planet with sorrows and Misery Cow – People with Grace of God but How? Munching Grass - Chanting of the Maha Mantra Let’s chant the Maha Mantra and be free for ever with the ever compassionate grace of the Lord.
