Mind is a garden, and we are the gardeners of our
Minds.
A young boy observed
a gardener throughout the day and decided to meet him to clarify his doubts.
The young boy said,
"Uncle, I have been watching you since this morning. You are busy
maintaining the garden by ploughing, watering, and removing unwanted plants. Regular
watering and maintenance are important for ensuring beautiful flowers bloom.
However, I wonder what you are removing around the plants." The gardener
replied, "Those are weeds."
The boy asked,
"Why should you remove the weeds? Aren't they useful?" The gardener
explained, "They will destroy the garden." The boy nodded and said,
"Okay."
The gardener said,
"My dear boy, a garden and a mind have something in common. We are the
gardeners of our minds. We should nurture our minds just like we water a
garden. We need to self-examine how we cultivate our thoughts and remove
negativity, negative people, and negative habits to ensure our minds remain
fertile for colorful thoughts to bloom in our lives."
The young boy
replied, "Thank you, Uncle. Every night before I sleep, I will remove
unwanted thoughts and fears so that my mind stays clear and fresh for new
thoughts to grow the next day.
