Retrieving a Lost Silver Bowl from the Sea
- A man was sailing in the sea while looking at his silver bowl.
- What a nice bowl!
- Suddenly the bowl slipped from his hand.
- Ahh! The bowl dropped into the deep water.
- I’ll make a mark here…
- So that I can get it back later.
- After two months,
- He reached the Land of Lions.
- Hmmm… this is where I lost my silver bowl.
- He jumped into the river to search for the bowl.
- I made a mark on the water where I lost the bowl. This water looks the same as the other. There seems no difference. That’s why I’m doing this.
- Though all waters are identical, the place that you have lost it is there. How can you find it here?
Explanation:
The heretics, who do not practice the right religious belief, but a fallacious one, suffer from their useless mortification in seeking liberation. Those men are just like the stupid man who has lost his bowl in the sea and looked for it in the river. |
