One day, four men wanted to become a great teacher’s disciples. He told them to go look into a well and tell him what they saw. All of them came back and told him that all they saw was their own reflections. He told them that they could not become his disciples. A passer –by asked the great teacher the meaning of his test. The great teacher told him that when they looked into the well, they saw only their own reflections. But, they could have seen the reflections of the over hanging boughs, the trees and the greenery all around. ‘So, I thought they were to self centered to be my disciples’, said the teacher.Tuesday, November 10, 2009
