Monday Motivation….. April 02, 2018 (373)
Once upon a time in one house a cat was killing so many mice that finally they came together and asked the wise old ones, “What should be done?”
One wise old mouse said, “There is a simple method: just hang a bell around the neck of the cat so wherever she goes the bell will ring and will make the mice alert.”
A perfect solution, as perfect as many solutions preached by Religions, Politicians; you cannot find any flaw in it.
Just one young mouse said, “But who is going to do this great job?”
The wise old mouse said, “My work is to give advice. I simply do counselling, personal counselling; Action you have to decide. I have given you perfect advice. Now, who is going to do it or not – that is your business.”
This is a famous story, thousands of years old. But OSHO have made it complete, because it is old and it Needed some new addition.
A young mouse, instead of saying that it is impossible, says, “Okay, I will do it.”
Everybody is shocked, because it is against the tradition. The story has been going on for centuries – everybody has been asking how to do it, who is going to do it, and there the story ends. And this fool is saying he will do it!
But the young mouse said, “Idiot or not, I am going to do it.”
They all thought he was mad, because it could never be accomplished.
But who will explain to this idiot who says, “Tomorrow morning you will see it”?
And the next morning they heard the bell. ”My God!”
All the mice looked out from their holes. The Bell was tied to the neck of the cat, and the cat was coming – very much puzzled because the bell was ringing – and before she approached any mouse, he simply slipped into his hole.
She could not understand what had happened, how this bell had come to be around her neck, by the evening she was dying of hunger because not a single mouse…
All the mice gathered and asked, “What did you do? How did you do it?”
He said, “It is a simple thing. I simply went outside, to a medical store, and brought back a few sleeping pills and dropped those pills in the milk that the cat is given every day in the evening. She fell into a deep Sleep and I managed to tie the bell around her neck. In the morning when she woke up, she could not believe what has happened and she couldn’t untie it – it is impossible. From now onwards, there is no need for any Mouse to be afraid of any Cat.”

Moral:
There is fear of death in every man. There is fear that life is short and competition is tough, so unless you are violent enough you are going to be a loser. However, the reality is that only the NONVIOLENT ones are victorious; everybody else is a loser!
Have a great week ahead..!
