One day, while crossing a river, an elephant lost its food, a heart of palm, in the water. The animal was very hyngry, so it started searching its vegetable every where in the river. But, it couldn't find it. And, the more it searched and moved water, the more dirty and muddy it became. The elephant was angry and desperate, not knowing what else to do in order to find its food.
At this moment, a small animal was passing by. It saw the desperate elephant and asked what was its problem. After the explanation, the small animal advised :
- It's easy to find your food; very easy, indeed. Just relax, and be still. Don't move water again. And, when it becomes clear again, look. You will see it.
The elephant followed the advice and, finally, could find its vegetable. It was just there, lying under its feet.
The same thing is true for whatever you are looking for in your life, be it a solution to a problem, peace of mind, or whatever.
Your mind is just like water in the river. You will never find the solution to your problem in a troubled state of mind. However, it is, has always been, and will always be there. Just under your feet.
Quite your mind, relax, be still and look. Can you see it ?
