The Story of the Donkey and the Three Men
Three generations of family, a householder with his father and his son, wanted to sell their donkey at the weekly market. Walking along to the market, a man saw them and said, "Two of you, the father and the son being young can walk, why don't you put the child on the donkey?"
So they put the boy on the donkey.
After some time, another person walking the same road saw them and said: "Shame, a young boy is riding while the old man is walking. Why not change? The old man should ride and the young boy can walk". So they changed places.
A third man saw them and said, "What fools, why not all ride?" So all got on the donkey and the donkey died due to the weight.
This is how the world is. Do anything, people criticise. They go on commenting. Their job is to comment, these are people who love to attack, remark, criticise and give opinions.
Their job is not to transform themselves but to plan on others.
If we give our ears to their opinion and criticism we will perish. Therefore let us concentrate on our practice.
Namaste.
