Peace of mind
Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his
followers. This was in the initial days. While they were travelling,
they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of
his disciples, “I am thirsty. Do get me some water from that lake
there.”
The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that
some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment,
a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the
water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I
give this muddy water to Buddha to drink!” So he came back and told
Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to
drink.”
After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go
back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple
obediently went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had
absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water
above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and
brought it to Buddha.
Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and
said, “See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be ... and
the mud settled down on its own – and you got clear water... Your mind
is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a
little time. It will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in
any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless.”
MORAL:
Having
'peace of mind' is an effortless process.
When there is peace inside you, that peace permeates to the outside. It
spreads around you and in the environment, such that people around start
feeling that peace and grace.
