Rise above the ego and the attachments

In a green forest deep in the Himalayan valley, where the soft breeze sweeps across the green trees with a message of joy, there lived a mighty bull. During the morning hours, as he diverted himself among the green grass, he discovered an amiable friend in a cat. The cat amused him with his playful hide and seek; he told him stories of the jungle – the terror of the lions, the gossiping of foxes, the deceitful demeanor of the wolves and the jovial dances of rats.

During the siesta hours of the afternoon, as the bull rested serenely in the mountain cave, he discovered a tiny little rat playing in the vicinity. Slowly, he persuaded the rat to shun off all the fears of him and continue with his frolics and dances. The Bull was sensitive to life and an aspirant of universal love. Slowly the rat became friendly and brought even his tiny rattish children to amuse the grand personality of the Bull.
