Tea & the Tea Pot
Inspired from a Zen Quote
A Young man
asked an Old Monk, why do people live with constant worries?
The Old
Monk placed a Tea Pot and asked how this pot is, the young man said "it is
good"
The Old
Monk placed one more pot and repeated the question, the young man said
"this is better than the first pot"
The Old
Monk smiled and said " I have varieties of such Pots, If I keep showing
you one after other, you will start comparing and feel one pot is better than
the other"
The Old
Monk opened the first pot and drank the tea and said:
Focus
on the Tea and not the Tea pot
Our
worries come from either comparison or our inability to understand ourselves
better.
Start
exploring within to taste your strengths and do remember, happy are those, who know
thyself better.
