MILLIONS OF FROGS MAKING NOISE

MILLIONS OF FROGS MAKING NOISE

 

Baba Said, "Let anybody speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent by giving any bitter reply. If you always tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy." Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch.  18, 19

 

A farmer came into town and asked the owner of a restaurant if he could use a million frog legs.

The restaurant owner was shocked and asked the man where he could get so many frog legs!

 

The farmer replied, "There is a pond near my house that is full of frogs--millions of them. They croak all during the night and are about to drive me crazy!"

 

So the restaurant owner and the farmer made an agreement that the farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant five hundred at a time for the next several weeks.

 

The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant looking rather sheepish, with two scrawny little frogs.

 

The restaurant owner said, "Well...where are all the frogs?"

 

The farmer said, "I was mistaken. There were only these two frogs in the pond. But they sure were making a lot of noise!"

 

 

Next time you hear somebody criticizing/insulting or making fun of you, remember it's probably just a couple of noisy frogs. Do not mind gossips or criticisms. If its untrue: disregard it, if unfair: keep from irritation, if it is of mere ignorance of someone: just smile, if it is justified: then it is not criticism, learn from it!
