Have you heard of a saint and dog
story anytime? This story has inspired many minds. It has induced strength and
also ways to overcome problems.
Once a saint came to Himalayas. He
wanted to visit all the temples there and collect information. Not only he
visited temples, he used to collect history about the temples. He also had
appointed a personal assistant and guider for this activity. Once the saint and
his assistant went to a big temple. When the saint approached towards the
temple big gates, he observed huge dogs tied to each gate. The dogs were
looking like beasts and seem to look like having the strength of tiger. A very
strong chain was used to tie them to the gates. The saint looking at the dogs
took his steps back. His assistant informed him not to worry as the dogs are
tied to the gates.
But the dogs kept barking continuously
on seeing them. It started pulling out the chain desperately to get released
from the chain. Their red eyes even turned red now. Anyone who would see these
dogs would have definitely felt afraid. The assistant replied, “Sir, these are
hunting dogs. If these find anyone, these they will encroach and rip them
apart. But you don’t worry – they are tied to the gates with strong chains,
they will not be able to come out”
The saint and his assistant
entered into the temple and started their way towards the temple shrine. They
suddenly heard some people voice saying “Oh, Oh my god . be careful , run , run
!! “. The saint turned back hearing this and saw the dogs had somehow broke the
chains and were running towards them at a rapid pace!! The dogs were sprinting
like cheetahs while they headed towards the saint and seemed to encroach in no
time.
At this moment, the saint started
running. He started running putting his full efforts and strength. He did not
run away from the dogs , but instead towards the dogs!! Guess what happened at
this moment?
The dogs went by a surprise looking
at the saint running towards them and run into confusion. Then went back to the
gates where they were tied earlier. The watchman later tied the dogs with
chains back to the gates.
The assistant who was seeing all
this was astonished and asked the saint why he did like that. The saint replied
– “In our life all our problems are like these dogs, if we run from them they
will not leave us and be always behind creating issues, but once we face them
and start running over them, they go out”
Most of us in our life spend most
of our time fearing to something. When problems come, we may fear when we may
lose out. Hence we always try to run away from problems. If we realize the
above story, we understand the solution is not from running away from problems
but instead facing them with full strength!
