Some Real statements

Chhatrapati Shivaji was once building a bridge for the welfare of people affected by floods. A large number of people were obtaining their livelihood by working for the construction of The Bridge.

Shivaji thought that had he not started construction of the bridge a large number of people would have died of hunger. This thought filled him with arrogance.

Samarth Guru Ramdas was passing by Shivaji's place. Shivaji invited him and honored him. He boasted about his achievements and kindness stating how he was providing succor to so many destitute people every day.

Samarth understood the situation and did not respond. Next day when he was about to leave he told Shivaji; "Do you see that rock? Get it broken". The rock was broken. There was a cavity inside the rock which was full of water and a frog was playing in the water. Guru Ramdas said, "I am sure you arranged for the life support of this frog inside the rock; that else could do such a miracle?"

Shivaji realized his mistake and fell qat the feet of Guru Ramdas. He advised Shivaji to fight the enemies of humanity and to continue serving humbly the cause of humanity without feeling arrogant or proud of his accomplishments because arrogance could turn even a kind hearted human being into a cruel tyrant, who could cause great harm to society.

The topic of disarmament was being discussed in a zoo. Rhinoceros said, "Horns are just for self defense. The real weapons are nails and sharp teeth of some animals which should be banned". Deer, wild buffalo and even the horned fishes supported this argument.

The lion contested, "Teeth and claws are for eating and walking. Horns are the most useless things which can be very dangerous and should be banned" Similarly all the animals tried to defend their positions and oppose other animal's view point. There was a massive uproar and everybody tried to put forth their viewpoints very aggressively.

After hearing loud uproar, the zoo keeper came in and forced all the animals in their cages. He said, "All you need is to cultivate a friendly environment and have a healthy perspective of coexistence. This will develop friendship amongst you and create an atmosphere of peace. If you practice it you will never need any kind of disarmament"

We hope that at least humans understand the real meaning of this story.
