A disciple went to Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav:
"I shall not continue with my studies of sacred texts," he said. "I live in a small house with my brothers and parents, and never have the ideal conditions for concentrating on that which is important."
Nachman pointed to the sun and asked his disciple to place his hand over his face, in order to hide it. The disciple obeyed.
"Your hand is small, yet it can completely cover the power, light and majesty of the great sun. In the same way, the small problems manage to give you the excuse you need in order to hinder your progress along your spiritual journey.
“Just as your hand has the power to hide the sun, mediocrity has the power to hide your inner light. Do not blame others for your own incompetence.”
If you desire to start off a work, you should not be disturbed by meager matters which come as hindrance on our path of Success. Rather you should learn and motivate yourselves from those hurdles.
ReplyDeleteTherefore the last paragraph - “Just as your hand has the power to hide the sun, mediocrity has the power to hide your inner light. Do not blame others for your own incompetence.” is worth assimilating for attaining our goals in our life. Mainly on the path of Spiritual Growth (God Realization, you as a Sadhak (aspirant) never forget the moral of this short but effective story.
Jai Shree Radhey.
DON'T BLAME OTHERS FOR YOUR INCOMPETENCE......
