The Donkey's Wisdom: A Life Lesson on Neutrality and Acceptance Story Line
There was a wise man. A man who had lived a household life came to him.
He said that he wanted to gain knowledge and that he himself should become a guru and impart the best knowledge in knowledge.
The wise man knew that he could not make this householder know knowledge through teachings.
Every day, he said that he should sit in the field in front of your house from morning to evening.
He said that the washerman would bring the packages on a donkey from that way and that he should watch them when he came in the morning and when he returned in the evening.
The next day, when it was dawn, the householder sat in the field and the washerman brought the dirty packages on a donkey.
He also carried the washed clothes back in the evening.
The next day, he went to the wise man and said that as you said, I observed the donkeys going and returning in the morning and evening.
But he said that it did not seem to contain any message related to wisdom. Dear family member, in the morning the donkeys carried dirty clothes.
At that time, there was no sorrow in carrying dirty clothes.
Similarly, there was no joy in carrying washed clothes in the evening.
When suffering comes, there should be no excessive sorrow, and when pleasure comes, there should be no excessive joy, and both pleasure and pain should be accepted with a neutral mind.
This message is the best wisdom given through those donkeys.
