..it never kicked..

[Guest guest]

" There was a great saint called Swami Narayana. His followers are very large in

the area of Gujarat, though he hailed from Uttar Pradesh. One day he observed

some villagers struggling with a cow. They were unable to milk it because it was

giving a kick the moment anybody approached it. They could not go near the cow.

Whenever it felt that somebody was coming near it, it would kick with its foot.

 

Swami Narayana was not only a saint but also a seeker in himself. He told these

villagers, " I shall find a way of stopping this kicking. " He took a long stick

and, sitting a little away from the cow, slowly touched the cow's leg with that

stick; it gave a kick immediately. After a few seconds he again touched it; it

gave another kick. He sat there for the whole day, without taking food from

morning to evening, doing only one work - touching the leg of the cow with the

stick. To the surprise of all the people who were witnessing this phenomenon,

for a continuous twelve hours, this touching went on. How long will the cow give

a kick? It is also a living being. It got fed up, tired, and stopped kicking.

Then he told them to milk the cow; it never kicked afterwards.

 

The mind is turbulent in some way of this kind. It has to be treated in the same

way as the swami treated the cow. Whatever we say, the mind will not agree. It

has its own voice and something else to say, quite different from what we are

wanting it to do. If we say, " Do this, " it will say, " No, I will do another

thing. "

 

There was a couple, husband and wife... "
