The elephant and the Rope
When an elephant is young,
it is tied to a sturdy post with a rope.
No matter how hard it tries,
it cannot break free.
Over time, it gives up,
believing escape is impossible.
As the elephant grows big and strong,
it could easily break the rope,
but it doesn't try.
It remains tied - not by the rope,
but by the belief formed in its mind.
It's important to reflect on the things
you continue out of habit,
such as staying within your comfort zone,
maintaining unhealthy relationships,
or chasing wealth and recognition
based on others' standards
instead of seeking your own true happiness.
Remember, it's not the condition,
but your beliefs that tie you.
Meditation helps clear these old beliefs,
allowing you to begin a new, liberated life.
Consistency makes the raindrops
to create holes in the rock.
Just keep doing it,
we can be free of all human matters that make you stress
and live well in the real world.
