A PERSON LIMITING YOUR GROWTH

Baba said, "If you can do anything, do some good" in Sri Sai Satcharitra, ch.  10

 

One day not too long ago, the employees of a large company at St. Louis, Missouri, returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.

 

The sign said: "Yesterday, the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym."

 

At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who the person was. The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects.

 

Everyone wondered: "Who is this person who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he's no longer here!"

 

One by one the employees got closer to the coffin and when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless. They stood over the coffin, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: "There is only one person who is capable of setting limits to your growth: it is YOU."
