Elephant and Student | Life

In an ancient tale, a young and eager student was known for his thirst for wisdom and enlightenment. One day, an unexpected visitor appeared during an important class session – an elephant wandered into the vicinity. The presence of this magnificent creature quickly captivated the attention of every other student in the room.

However, amidst all the commotion and distractions caused by the elephant’s arrival, one individual remained unaffected by its presence – our intrepid traveller stayed completely focused on his studies. Intrigued by the student’s dedication, the wise teacher inquired why he didn’t seem interested in observing the legendary creature.

The student’s response revealed deep wisdom – he explained that he hadn’t embarked on his long and arduous journey solely to witness an elephant. His purpose lay in gaining true wisdom and enlightenment. While distractions surrounding us may often appear unavoidable, being conscious of our purpose keeps us grounded and prevents anything from steering us off course.

This tale serves as a reminder to recognize the many distractions that can hinder our progress toward personal growth. By staying committed to our goals, we can navigate life’s temptations without losing sight of what truly matters.

I’ll be back with more next week.
