I was watching a 'satsang' on TV today, that made me think about this.
The person gave this beautiful example about swimming pools and wells to substantiate his points. While the original point is ignoreable, this analogy isn't. He explained that with a swimming pool, we need to put in the water, whereas in case of a well, all we have to do is remove the dirt, and the gravel in there. Ground water automatically finds its way into that well.
What got me thinking about this was that this is the case with life.
Come to think of it, we expect the world to be treating us as a swimming pool, giving us what we want. Shouldn't we be more like a well, finding our own sources of what we need (ok ok... also of what we 'want')?
Of course, it's tough. Because we would have to start with doing the dirty job of cleaning up. But I guess it's worth it!!!
