Superstition: Elephants held by Thin Ropes:

A saint was passing by a forest on his way to a pilgrim.

As he was passing by the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a thin rope tied to their front leg.

No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well," the trainer said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away.

They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." he was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

Like these Elephants tied with a thin rope. Many of us, go through Life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? We all have great potential hidden within ourselves.

Many of our Leaders and Politicians must realize the great potential hidden within themselves.

We need to free ourselves from Fear of Superstitions. We must believe in Constructive Knowledge of Science rather than superstitious religious stories.

Think for an instance what would have happened in case of a forest fire? Wouldn’t these elephants break free? To save their lives.

They would stay there as far as they are safe, happy and secured, as far as there is no threat for their survival. It's advisable not to stay in a place where someone is not happy and satisfied. Where there is a threat for security.

We have to make constructive efforts without any frustrations to protect freedom and justice. We have to realize the good purpose of life and thus put forth our best efforts to accomplish them.

Its a mistake not to make constructive efforts to achieve the good objective. Mistakes become blunders when they are repeated knowingly with consciousness.

One has to be wise enough to take the required bold step to achieve the good objective of peace and brotherhood. One must resolve the issues peacefully.
