ZEN STORYA Lesson On How To Defeat A Thief

A man who lived in unbearable hunger and poverty resorted to small acts of theft. He landed up in prison and tried to escape many times only to be caught again. Each time, his prison sentence got further extended. Finally, after many years, he came out into the world once more.

Cold and hunger tortured him. He had no money and no means to earn even one meal. Nobody was ready to trust an ex-convict and offer him a job. He wandered to many places, but wherever he went, he was chased away. After being beaten up by people in one village, he ended up finding sanctuary in the village priest's house.

He did not expect the priest to welcome him so graciously: "This is God's house. Whether someone is a criminal or a sinner, anybody who comes here looking for shelter are God's children." So the priest consoled him and gave him food to eat, clothes to wear and a place to stay.

He ate well, slept and came awake in the middle of the night with renewed vigor. His eyes fell on some silverware in a room. Overcome with a compulsive urge to steal, he picked up the silverware and fled, not sparing even one thought about betraying the one who fed him.

Walking around the village, carrying silverware, he soon attracted the suspicion of the villagers. The police caught him and interrogated him. Because they could not get a proper answer from him, they then took him to the priest's house. "We suspect that he stole this silver from you. Could you please confirm if it is yours?" the police asked the priest.

The man trembled, fearing that his theft would be revealed and that he would be sent to spend many more years in prison.

But the priest's face was full of compassion. He said, "My friend, I had offered the silver candlesticks along with this silver to you. Why did you leave the candlesticks behind?" He then gave the candlesticks to him. "Our apologies. We thought this was a theft." the police said, and released the man, who was overwhelmed by the priest’s compassion, and went on their way.

The Lesson: A human being may have the fortitude to endure any form of punishment, but overwhelming compassion will ultimately prevail over him. A person can be made rock solid by punishment, but shattered by uncontrollable compassion. Use compassion as a tool to help change people for the better :)

TIPS OF THE DAYBreathe Slowly & Deeply

In yoga sessions, the flow of your breath is crucial. Your mind and body are stimulated while your circulation is improved and tension is reduced when you breathe slowly and deeply during your daily activities. Yoga breathing lowers your chance of injury and helps your body relax as you go through various positions.

BOOK OF THE DAY

Former Vedic monk and award-winning content creator Jay Shetty claims that the route to happiness and fulfillment is to Think Like a Monk. According to him, monks are the calmest and happiest people in the world because they live with a sense of purpose that aligns with their true, inner selves.

In this uplifting book, Shetty uses his experience as a monk in the Vedic tradition to demonstrate how we may overcome the obstacles standing in the way of our potential and strength. Think Like a Monk explains how to get rid of unhelpful ideas and bad habits so that you may find the peace and purpose that are innate in everyone by drawing on ancient knowledge and the author's own profound experiences in the ashram.

The teachings learned by monks are profound yet sometimes impersonal. In order to lessen stress, boost attention, enhance relationships, discover our hidden talents, develop self-discipline, and share the treasures we discover within ourselves with the world, Shetty converts them into guidance and exercises that we can all use. Everyone can and should think like a monk, as Shetty demonstrates.
