Don’t infer too much

This is a very interesting story which fits into all the hard times that we face in life.
It starts like this, when Buddha had grown old, he shifted to the foothills of a mountain. One day he felt thirsty and Anand his follower went to fetch water from a nearby channel. Some time before a cart had crossed the channel and the water was muddy and leaves and mud all over the water. Ananda returned empty handed. He told Buddha that water was not fit to drink. Buddha asked him to go again, he again came back without water and told that he would get water from the river which was at a little far. But, Buddha sent him again, and this time when he reached the channel the mud had settled and the water was clear all the way.
Similar things happen in life, there may be times when we don’t find the water fit but if we can sit on the bank patiently or give it some more tries things will themselves sort themselves. You don’t have to put much effort. Just sit and observe and soon see the clear water rise to the top.
