Like every morning, I get on my Google reader to read from some of my teachers like Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki, Robin Sharma and Rajesh Setty et all…This morning, while reading one of the blog posts…I found a story that was really amazing…

Background of the story: When a reader commented on how he was stressed because he was hurt by actions of someone he cared for…Rajesh responded with the story…

Here is the quick story:

Two Buddhist Monks were walking towards the Monastery for prayer. On the way, they came across a very beautiful girl standing along the river. Like them she also wanted to cross the river, but since the river was too high with strong current, she waited for someone who can help her cross. One of the Monks took her on his shoulders and helped her cross the river. The other Monk was thoroughly scandalized. He scolded his companion continuously for two hours for what he called, ‘the breach of rules’. “Have you forgotten that you are a Monk? How can you touch a women, and that too carry her on your back? Do you know what the people would say about your deed? Have you not realized that you disgraced the holy religion?” and so on. The Monk who carried the girl took it quite gamely. He said, “Brother, I carried the woman and dropped her on the bank of the river, but you are still carrying her on your back.”

Whatever happened has happened and probably the girl that walked out has forgotten about you and moved on. Wish her well and also please take care of yourself.

The Morale of the story This TIME will never come back and you have a long way to go.
