Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Dear Sai Devotees, In this week's eChat, we will read about the mastery of mind control.... -------------------------- This young and boastful champion of archery challenged a Zen master who is also renowned for his skill as an archer. The young man demonstrated remarkable skill by hitting a distant bull's eye on his first try, and then split that arrow with his second shot. "There," he said to the old man, "see if you can match that!"Undisturbed, the master did not draw his bow, but rather took the young champion to the mountains, and walked across a flimsy log connecting the next peak. The master drew his arrow and shot a distant tree as his target. "Now it is your turn," said the master. The young champion was a bit shaken as he then needed to walk on this shaky log right above the deep valley. The fear of the heights scared him and he backed off from the challenge."You have much skill with your bow," the master said, sensing his challenger's predicament, "but you have little skill with the mind that lets loose the shot." ------------------ The masters have one thing we the normal souls don't have --- control of the mind! Om Sai Ram! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
