A famous spiritualist Junaid, was walking
through the market-place with his disciples.
They saw a man dragging a cow by a rope.
Junaid told the man to wait and asked
his disciples to surround them.
“I am going to teach you something”
and continued…
“Tell me who is bound to whom?
Is the cow bound to this man or
the man is bound to the cow?”
The disciples said without hesitation, “Of
course the cow is bound to the man! The
man is the master. He is holding the rope.
The cow has to follow him wherever he
goes. The man is the master and the cow is
the slave.”
“Now watch this”, said Junaid and took
scissors from his bag and cut the rope. The
cow ran away from the master, and the man
ran after his cow.
“Look, what is happening”, said Junaid. “Do
you see who the Master is? The cow is not at
all interested in this man. The cow in fact,
is trying to escape from this man.”
This is the case with our MIND. All the
non-sense that we carry inside is not
interested in us. WE ARE INTERESTED IN
IT, we are keeping it together somehow
or the other. We are going crazy trying to
keep it all together under our control.
The moment we lose interest in all
the garbage filled in our head, the
moment we understand the futility of it,
it will start to disappear. Like the cow, it
will escape and disappear.”
We can allow to disappear all the unwanted things
in our mind and feel relaxed.
