Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Dear Sai Devotees, In this week's eChat, we will read about steadiness............... ------------- An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and the elephant waved it away again. This went on for a while. The elephant asked the fly:"Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can't you stay for a while in one place?" The fly answered: "I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?" The elephant stopped chewing on the leaves and said: "My five senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I get immersed in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely immersed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around." ----- Calm your mind and make it steady, the rest will automatically fall in place!
