Monday Motivation….. February 18, 2013 (106)
Once upon a time an experienced and wise master grew tired of his disciple complaining. He send the disciple to get some salt. When the disciple returned, the master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and drink it. “How does it taste?” the master asked. “Bitter,” spit the disciple.
The master chuckled and then asked the young man to put a handful of salt in the lake nearby. The two walked to the lake. After the disciple swirled his handful of salt in to the water, the old man said, “Now drink from the lake…”
As the water dripped down the young man’s chin, the master asked, “Now How does this taste?”
“Fresh & Sweet” remarked the disciple.
“Do you taste the salt?” asked the master.
“No,” said the young man.
At this, the master sat beside the young man who so reminded him of Himself at one time and held his hands.
He told the young man, “The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains exactly the same. However the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the container we put the pain in. So when you are in pain, the only thing you do is enlarge your sense of things…Stop being a glass, Become a Lake.”

Moral:
Accept the pain and suffering with big heart. Work on them without complaining as complains will never reduce the effect; however working on resolutions will bring in the positive results. Everything is temporary.
Have a great week ahead…
