Once a monk was sitting under a tree outside the village. Under that tree there lived a mouse in a hole. The monk saw that the rat was repeatedly trying to get out of hole and go inside.
When this happened several times, the monk used the power of this mantras and stated taking t the mouse. He asked the mouse, o mouse, you are trying to get out of your hole but due to some fear you go back to the hole. Are you scared of me? The mouse said no sir, I am not scared of you. But actually, there are some cats which lives around this three. I am scared of those cats. I am afraid if I can out of my hole cats will kill me and eat me, that is why I am not coming out of my burrow. I am hungry form last many days. But due to fear o cat I cannot come out. I wish I was also a cat. Had I been a cat, I could roam freely and would not fear cat.
Monk saw that this rat is very coward. He said to rat, you see friend. One day everyone has to die. For how long will you keep dying every day of such fear? So, get out of your burrow and find your food. Yes, be a little careful but throw out the fear of the cat from your heart.
The rat said, sir, those cats are very dangerous. I cannot stop fearing cat. If you want to help me then please make me cat. Otherwise stop advising me, saying this the rat started crying. The monk felt pity on him and said ok my friend, if you are happy to be a cat than I will make you a cat. Saying this the monk closed his eyes and muttered some mantra in this mouth, suddenly rat turned into cat. As soon as rat become cat.
He jumped up with joy and ran away to find its food. Few days passed. One day again monk was sitting under same tree and meditating. He head a sound of cat’s cry. When he opened his eyes, he said that the same cut was sitting beside him and crying.
The monk asked her the reason for her crying. The cat said, o wise one, ever since I have become cat, I am afraid of dog. ON day some dogs attacked me and tried to kill me. I barely saved my life. Then the cat said, sir place make dog so that I may live fearlessly.
The monk again felt pity on the cat and muttered some mantra his mouth. And suddenly the cat turned into a dog. As soon as the cat became dog, he ran away in season of food. Few days passed under the same three and mediating. Just then the dog came sunning to him and started crying. The monk opened his eyes and asked him. What happened my friend? Why are you crying? The dog said, sir I am not happy after becoming dog. One day I went into the jungle nearby the village. And suddenly a lion attached me and tried to kill me. I narrowly escaped from there. Now I am always afraid of lion. Lease make me lion so that I may roam freely in the jungle without any fear.
The mink was very compassionate. He again felt pity on the dog and make him lion with his mantra. As soon as he became lion. He ran away from there and went in juggle. After few days. One day again monk was sitting under the free and mediation, just then the lion came and started crying beside him. The monk opened his eyes and asked him. What hopped my friend? Why are you crying? The lion said, o wise one I am not happy after becoming lion. One day I was roaming freely in the jungle, just than some people started following me and tried to imprison me in the cage. They also shoot fired on me. Now I am always afraid of humans. I always fear that someday they will catch me and imprison me the cage. Please make me human. So that I may not have any fear and may live happily.
Monk looked at him, smiled then he said, my friend, you became link of the jungle but still you lived in fear. Whatever you become, you will still have fear. Because your fear is in your heart. I can change your body with my power. But I cannot change your heart. Your heat will always be of a mouse. You have to overcome this fear of yourself. Otherwise, you will spend your whole life in a fear.
After listening to the monk that mouse understood that fear was inside him. And till he does not control his fear. Whatever he becomes, he will continue to be afraid that be timid. Then he decided to change himself. Then he decided to change himself to live without fear and he became a rat again.
If we see in our lives, we will find that there are many of us who always live in some kind of fear. A student is afraid of exams. And a job worker is afraid of his boss. Some people are afraid of the future and some are afraid of death. Every person is carrying some kind of fear in his life. Those who achieve success in their life, they also feel fear at some point of time. But they do not let their fear dominate them. They face their fear and that is why they become successful. Fear is such a disease that never lets us reach the height of success. Because due to fear we either change our decisions or we change ourselves. Therefore, if you want to move ahead in your life then you to conquer your fears.
