Katha 02 – Man, bucket and water – E


One man used to get half bucketful of water every day.
So every day he used to say, today I have got only half a bucketful of water. When will I get full bucketful of water?
Then one day he got full bucketful of water.
So he was satisfied and happy.

One man used to get half bucketful of water every day.
Every day he used to say, today I have got only half a bucketful of water. When will I get full bucketful of water?
Then one day he got full bucketful of water.
Then he thought, what if I get two buckets of water today… I will be more satisfied and happier.

So, one man actually got two buckets of water one day. Then (as you may have guessed correctly) he thought what if I get three buckets of water today… and he actually got three buckets of water on next day. So he thought … and he actually started to believe in the power of Positive thinking.

So, one man actually got three buckets of water one day. Then (as you may have guessed correctly) he thought I am not satisfied. What if I get still more … and he actually got more. So he thought … and he became greedy. The more he got the more unsatisfied he became. That made him unhappy. And one day he got less and he became still more unsatisfied and unhappy.

So, one day one man told him, happiness has nothing to do with what and how much you get. Look at me.
