Jnana katha - 1

Yesterday  ie 22nd June 2014 , i was fortunate to attend satsang held on account of 106th Birthday celebration of Sri Samarth Sadguru Ganpat rao Maharaj Kannur (click here to know more) in Mystic society hall on Nrupatunga road.
One of speaker in that gathering was Sri Ibrahim Sutar.
Muslim by caste and carries tremendous Vedic knowledge. If i get more information about him i will publish it soon. While in his discourse he said two small stories which caught my attention and   are real best example for understanding complex formula of Mind and senses. One of story goes  like this...

In a small town,  a black smith was carrying bunch of Axe heads to sell.
While he was walking on road , trees on both sides started discussing ,

Tree - 1 :- Alas today is end of our life , look at that man he is carrying Axe with him.
Tree -2 :- Yes , he is coming towards us , and i am sure he is going to chop us down.,



By this time most of trees got scared and started crying.

There was a old tree  , which saw plight of all these younger
trees and asked a question ,

Senior Tree to all other trees :-
Do you all see any of our family member associated with Axe ?

All younger trees with one voice said .. Nooooooooo !!!
We just see metal Axe.

Senior tree:- Then no need to worry. 

Until one amongst our family member ( wood) is not associated with Axe we are safe.


Moral :-
     Mind if gets associates itself with senses , it invites trouble in life. If Mind keeps itself apart from senses it has no fear.
