Dear Sai Devotees,

In this week's eChat, we will read about attachment and detachment..............

--------------------------

A monk and his student, while walking by the river, saw a woman drowning. The student hesitate, but the monk jumped in and rescued her. The student got upset that the monk broke his vow of monkhood by touching a woman.

 

A couple of hours later, the student confronted the monk and expressed his displeasure with the monk's actions. The master replied, "I touched that woman to do civic duty and dropped the idea of touching hours ago; and you are still carrying that thought in your mind. Who is more attached?"

--------------------------

Thought is the source of attachment or detachment. No need to abandon action in the name of detachment...

 

Om Sai Ram!
