A Fishy Story
A man was fishing by the river. It was a very still, warm day and the river was very calm. The water was so clear that the fish, the bait and the fishing line were all visible. Most of the fish would come very close to the bait but then swim off. They would notice the bait, the float and the cord and then go away. Only the stupid ones took the bait. Those who did certainly experienced some excitement for a few seconds but soon found themselves in the frying pan!
Discustion:
Fishermen cannot harm fish as long as the fish have no attraction to the bait. However, if the fish are attracted to the bait, the game changes. The fisherman becomes the master, because he can now decide the life or death of the fish. The fish are at his mercy. In this life, we lose our freedom when we get attracted to the big and small baits of the world. When we create a need, we become dependent upon others or circumstances to fulfil it. We are then no longer free. It is as though the objects and circumstances become our masters. We become subservient.
"One with fewer needs has fewer masters."

The Cat, the Dog, and the Cat Flap
He pushed his way through the cat flap and raced into the house. Misty climbed onto a bookshelf out of the reach of poor Freddy. No one else was in the house. Freddy started rking and leaping up and down, breaking anything that got in his way. He was getting exhausted but couldn't stop himself. He had totally forgotten about the fun he had been having on his riverside walk. He was possessed by his 'passion' to catch Misty and was using all his energy barking, biting and breaking.
Discustion :
Are we very different from Freddy? Possibly not. We all start with having a great time in our own way, until we see Misty and get lost in a passion. Misty may present herself in the form of people, position or possessions. But once we become passionate, we lose discrimination. Our original happiness and peace are gone. Thus, like Freddy, we can end up barking, biting, breaking and sometimes bragging. In fact, we humans have already been pulled through a few cat flaps and are busy looking for further cat flaps to enter.
In theory, once Freddy finds himself in a passion about catching Misty, there could be a squirrel further on and a rabbit further still. So he could go on and on chasing innumerable passions and going through many cat flaps until he died without ever remembering the fun he had been having with the toys and his Master by the river.
Is this a description of the state of human affairs at the moment?

The Lion and The Bird
A river had broken its banks and the water was rising rapidly. A bird was perched on the branch of a tree, flapping around and shouting to every passer-by, "Help! Help! Please help me! Please do something!"
Just then a lion was making his daily round through the rising waters. Seeing the lion, the bird called out "Oh, King of the beasts! Help me! The water is rising and I will be drowned. Please save me!"
The lion looked at the bird and said,
"You have wings."
Discustion:
You Have Wings is about setting ourselves free. Free from the limitations and restrictions that we unknowingly place on ourselves.
When we learn to see things differently, our lives become easier, happier and more successful.
The message is simple and the method is simple. However, in today's world we have learnt to make simple things complex. Our journey will be much easier, if we become like children once again and to see with innocence and simplicity.
