THE MISERY

An old Indian master had got rid of complainting about everything of his apprentice . One day he sent out his apprentice to buy salt.When the apprentice ,who were unhappy about everythingin his life, returned ,the old master said to him ''Add a handful of salt to a glass water and drink the water ! ''.The apprentice made the thing which the man said but as soon as he drank it , he started to throw it up.
He replied angrily by saying ''Bitter! '' to the man who asked by saying '' How is its taste ?''.
Then the master brought him out smiling .Quietly he took him to the lake's coast and said to him '' By throwing a handful of salt to the lake, drink water from the lake! '' . The apprentice made the said thing again.The master asked the same question again- '' How is its taste?'' -.The young apprentice answered by saying '' Refreshing ! ''. ''Did you get the taste of salt ? '' said the old man . The young man said '' No !'' .
Then the old man sat down near his apprentice and said those '' The miseries are like salt- neither is it little, nor is it much -. Qantity of the misery is always the same. But the bitterness of this misery depends on that which it is put in . All which you need to do when you have a misery, is to extend your emotions about the thing which causes this misery .That's why don't be a glass, try to be a lake !''
