Without Thinking
Why Wrestler was tired and Child was energetic? For the next 5 days we will look into it.
Let me tell you one anecdote:
A young man came to Dhun-Nun and said that why I feel always stressed and you are relaxed?
The Egyptian removed a ring from his finger and handed it to him. “Take this to the market stallholders over there and see whether you can get a gold piece for it,” he said.
Nobody among the market people offered more than a single silver piece for the ring.
The young man brought the ring back.
“Now,” said Dhun-Nun, “Accordingly you what you need to do?”
The young man said, “I will take the ring to a real jeweler and see what he will pay.”
The jeweler offered a thousand gold pieces for the gem.
The youth was amazed.
“Now,” said Dhun-Nun, “You always put all your efforts where it is not required. You are following what others are doing/saying, instead of thinking what you have and for that where you need to put your efforts. Just because I told you to go to stallholders you went there without thinking that what you have, cannot be sold over there. When you thought you got appropriate price. If in the beginning only you would have thought you would have saved your time and effort.”
This is one of the reasons why we are always stressed. More we follow others more we are stressed.
