We know that a thing has different effects on different people. Many people go to the same function in the world, but many of them like that event very much, while some people doesn't like it at all. It all happens because of the person's own feeling.
Story- Once Lord Buddha was addressing his devotees at a place. Ending his talk after sharing the light of knowledge among his followers, Tathagata said, "Wake up!" Time is running out. After this, he stopped speaking, people slowly started going on their way. After finishing the discourse, Buddha went to a place with his beloved disciple Anand and sat down. Shortly a prostitute came to him and bowed to him and said - Lord! I was immersed in the joy of your sermons and I had no knowledge of time. As soon as you said wake up, time is running out, I immediately remembered that today I was going to dance in a ceremony. Now I'll leave immediately for that place.
After a while, another person came to him and said in a hurry O Lord! I am a bandit I forgot about everything while listening to you. I had to go to a place robbery and my friends would see my way, but I forgot everything. As soon as you said wake up, time is running out, I immediately remembered my work. Now I will go to rob. After this, an old man came to him and sat at his feet and said O Lord! I am a businessman. I have spent my entire life earning, raising and storing wealth. Today, as soon as you said, wake up, time is running out, so I realized that I spent my whole life in wasteful works. Now I'll go on the path of attaining nirvana. After everyone left, Buddha smiled and said, Anand! You see, I only said one sentence, wake up, time is running out.
How many people interpreted that one sentence in number of ways. This is the truth of life, the mind of a person. In fact, many people go to hear the discourse, but who takes the things mentioned in them, it depends on their own sense of mind. If anyone really wants to attain nirvana, then one has to clear his mind. Whose mind will be clear, only he will be able to accept what the Guru has told. The person who is lank will be able to paint in the colour of knowledge. To entertain the mind or to spend time, one can listen to the discourse, will get its essence, which will truly make the mind happy. This is the truth of life. The object is the same, feelings towards it will be according to the person's own feeling. If you look with love, then love will be seen in everything. If there is fraud in your mind, then every person you know will be fraudulent. Everything is a game of your inner spirit.
