On pain and suffering – Frog in the well Story
Contd....
But people who live only among their select group of
people end up demeaning, belittling, insulting and judging anyone and everyone
who doesn’t fit into their limited
circle of ‘likes and dislikes’. Such people are more in number and hence come
under the delusion that ‘they are right’. Unfortunately, they don’t know the
maxims “The mass always goes by ‘mob thinking’ but the leader thinks his own”.
“The mass takes up all that is pleasant and convenient for them and then blow their own trumpets declaring self as the custodians of tradition”.
“The mass changes its values and principles based on their convenience and being stupid enough to presume that no one remembers their previously said words or acts go on declaring their present code of conduct as the yardstick of measurement of others character. (cat drinking milk)
The wise/leader reflects on his words and acts and understands the scope of widening the perspective and hence changes his values and principles. Because he is aware of the fact that opinions, beliefs and traditions/rituals are subject to change based on circumstances, doesn’t judge others for the same. He doesn’t sit to gossip on others’ way of life and code of conduct. He lives and lets others live their life. But the mass or the lower cadre in the ladder of spirituality only exist to malign others, mad mouth, judge, gossip and condemn others. “But thousand dogs barking don’t make an elephant evil”. Alas! If only they understand. But then how can they? They are maggots living in the stagnant pool of their minds breading only filth of emotions, ideas, beliefs, opinions reflecting their or rather their lack of character.
