A history researcher was once visiting the premises of a temple.
There he saw an old sculptor carving on a small statue. The researcher saw it and moved on. As he went on, he noticed that another statue, which looked exactly like the one the sculptor was working on, had been set aside. He stumbled.
He had doubts. He went to the sculptor and stood up. The researcher said, "You have made two statues that look very precise !!"The sculptor did his work without watching at him and said, "Yes !!"
Researcher, "Why did you make two statues ??"The sculptor was busy with his work.“There is an inaccuracy in the first idol,” he explained.
The researcher made a very meticulous observation of both the idols but did not notice any error or simple difference. He said, "I don't see any error !!"The sculptor paused and said, the idol's nose is scratched, there's a scratch on it !! "
The researcher now looked closely at the idol's nose and saw that it was slightly scratched. “Are you going to keep this idol in the temple?" he responded?", The old man said, "No, there is a large pillar outside the temple we are going to put on it !!".
Now he was very confused, he started thinking that the idol which is going to be
placed on a 12 feet high pillar, even though his nose was slightly
scratched, he made another idol!! He
stopped and asked again, "Why did you brand an additional idol because you consumed slight money on an idol that no one will see? This idol will be like this but
will remain on a 12 feet high pillar!!
Why did you make another idol because you spent it? This idol is like this but will
remain on a 12 feet high pillar
!!But now the old sculptor got up and looked the researcher in the eye and
said, "Others won't know but I will !!"
We must keep working, not to show off, but to feel good about ourselves. When we do something wrong, we just look around before we do it, but we forget to look "inside". That heart, that mind sees us.
Feeling we have 'Run out of gas' emotionally. This is the basic source of contentment in life , Be “honest with yourself”. Something we feel on the inside, something we show on the outside - this trick game one day takes the form of a big storm. “Some individuals invent tornadoes and then become annoyed when it rains!"
Whatever work he did in life, he used to be completely honest with himself and give him his hundred percent. Others should feel good, they should feel my work, they should like me, they should applaud me so do not do it so that I can do this job perfectly.
If you live with this temperament, you will never be contented in life. The real satisfaction in life is to work "completely honestly" and achieve "excellence" in it. We do this for ourselves - not for others to see.
Satisfaction will come to you from within, do not find it in the outside world. Where to find Rameshwar and where to find Kashi!! Satisfaction, the happiness we seek out - what use to find him who is not out!!
Do not climb a mountain with the intention that the world should see you, move up the mountain with the objective to see the world.
Do not go to the top of the mountain because the world wants to realize you. Go to the highest of the mountain for this because you want to see the world If you do karma with others in mind, you will "feel good to a few people !!" But some of our little ones do not “feel good” while others do not.
And this is where the struggle begins! With this world and more importantly, it is
"Yourself !!" Think of course.
