A Maharaja will be touring the country to see the state of his people, he decided to walk alone. Just a few meters walk outside the palace legs hurt because of stumbling stone. He thought, 'It turns the streets of this country poor. I have to fix it. "
Maharaja then called all the minister's palace, he ordered it to coat all the roads in the country with the best cow leather. Soon the palace ministers make preparations. They collect the cows from all over the country.
In the middle of the overcrowding. came a hermit facing Maharaja, He said to Maharaja, "O my lord, why Her Majesty wanted to make many cowhide for lining the streets in this country. when in fact that Paduka need is two pieces of cowhide to coat the soles of the feet Majesty alone."
It is said that since then the world find upholstery leather soles which we call "Slippers".
Reflection:
There is a valuable lesson from the story. To make the world a comfortable place to live, sometimes, we have to change our perspective, our hearts, and ourselves, and not by way of changing the world.
Because we are often mistaken in interpreting the world. World, in our minds. sometimes just a personal form. World, we define as our own, which is our own players. No one else whichengages there, because, often in our view, the world, is a shadow of ourselves.
Yes, indeed, the way of life that we take is still steep and rocky. Which we choose, lining every street it with furry rug so we never felt sick. or. coat with leather upholstery of our hearts, so that we can survive through the streets it?
