Taming the body
One day one person climbed up a mountain where a hermit woman was meditating.
She had taken refuge and was asked:
- “What are you doing here alone in such a solitude place?”
To which she replied:
- “I have lots of work !”
- “And how can you have so much work?
I don't see anything around you here...?”
- “I have to train two *Hawks* and two *Eagles* , assure two *Rabbits* , discipline one *Snake* , motivate a *Donkey* and tame a *Lion* .....”
- “And, where have they gone that I don't see them?”
- “I have them all inside here within me...!!
✓ *The Hawks* stare on everything that is presented to me, good or bad, I have to work on them to see only good things. *They are my Eyes.*
✓ *The two Eagles* with their claws hurt and destroy, I have to train them not to hurt. *They are my hands* .
✓ *Rabbits* want to go where they want, at the same time they do not want to face difficult situations, I have to teach them to be calm even if there is suffering or stumbling. *They are my feet.*
✓ *The Donkey* is always tired, stubborn and does not want to carry the load each time I walk. *That is my body!*
✓ The most difficult to tame is the *"Snake."* Although it is locked in a strong *cage with 32 bars* , it is always ready to sting, bite and poison anyone nearby. I have to discipline it... *that's my tongue.*
✓ *I also have One Lion* . Oh ... how proud, vain, he thinks that "he is the king." I have to tame him. *And that's my EGO.*
So you see, my friend, I have lots of work..... “
*Think & Reflect !* 🤔
