Story of 2 Buddhist Monks and An Old Boat Man.
After crossing the river, 2 Monks got down from the boat. They had to go to the town near river. It was around 5pm. They knew that the gates of the Town closes dot at the sunset and it remains closed till next day morning. So, they had to reach to the main gate before the sunset. Otherwise they would have to spend the night outside the town.
They asked the old boat man, how much time we will take to reach to the main gate?
The boat man, a very old person, said... “If you walk slowly, you will reach on time. But if you walk fast, you will not reach”. (Read again).
Listening to this, Monk thought boat man seems to be a foolish guy. If we can reach by walking slowly, we must reach early if we walk fast or run. So, they ignored the old man’s advice and decided to run.
After running for a while……the elder monk fell down. All his books got scattered. His leg was bleeding. He had terrible pain in the leg. Younger monk was trying to pacify the elder one. While they were sitting on the side….they show the old boat man coming to them. He was walking slowly.
Looking at the blood and scattered books….the old boat man said… “Didn’t I tell you to walk slow?”
Moral of the story:-
1. However, appealing your logic may be……do not insist that market should also follow the same.
2. What you see now……market would have already seen!! So, try to see what market will see NEXT?
3. Just because your mind is unable to comprehend some logic, do not consider the person who sees it as foolish. Listen to him wholeheartedly.
4. In fact, your mind is not able to agree logically, makes the strong case that you should atleast try and see what happens if you follow it!!
