There's an old wise man approached a young man who was plagued by problems and issues.
Without wasting time the young man immediately told all his problems.
Just listen to the wise old man with closely, then he took a handful of black powder and asked the young man a glass of water.
He showed bitter powder into a glass and stir in slowly,
"Just drink it and say how it feels?" The old man said
"Very bitter" replied the young man
The old man smiled, then took him to walk to the lake behind his house.
They walked side by side and finally get to the edge of a quiet lake.
Once there, the old man returned to the lake bitter powder sprinkled it with a stick and he was stirring,
"Try to take water from this lake and drink"
When the boy drank the water, the old man asked again,
"How does it feel?"
"Fresh" replied the youth
"Do you feel bitter in the water?" asked the old man
"No," said Youth
The old man laughed and said, "Young people listen carefully, the bitterness of life as a handful of black powder, no more no less. Number and sense of bitterness was the same and it will remain the same.
But the bitterness we feel very dependent of CONTAINERS that we have. It will be based on the bitterness of feeling where we put it down.
So when we feel the bitterness and failure in life, there's only one thing we can do:
"Exert your chest all that we receive,
Open your heart to hold any bitterness "
My brother .. The heart is the container. The feeling is that place.
Heart is the place to accommodate everything.
"Do not make the heart like a glass, make like a lake which is able to accommodate all the bitterness and turn it into a freshness and peace.
