A man saw in his dream, that a lion was
chasing him. The man ran to a tree, climbed
on to it and sat on a branch. He looked down
and saw that the lion was still there waiting
for him.
The man then looked to his side where the
branch he was sitting on was attached to the
tree and saw that two rats were circling
around and eating the branch.
One rat was
black and the other one was white. He knew
the branch would fall to the ground anytime.
The man then looked below again with fear
and discovered that a big black snake had
come and settled directly under him. The
snake opened its mouth right under the man
so that he would fall into it.
The man looked up to see if there was
anything that he could hold on to. He saw
another branch with a honeycomb. Drops of
honey were falling from it.
The man wanted
to taste one of the drops. So, he put his
tongue out and tasted one of the falling
drops of honey. The honey was amazing in
taste.
So, he wanted to taste another drop and then
another and as a result, he got lost into the
sweetness of the honey. He forgot about the
two rats eating his branch away, the lion on
the ground and the snake that is sitting right
under him.
Suddenly when the branch broke he
remembered all the dangers and jolted awake
up from his sleep. The man couldn’t
understand the dream, so he went to a
scholar to know its meaning.
The scholar said, "The lion you saw is your
death. It always chases you and goes where ever you go. The two rats, one black and one white, are the night and the day. Black one is the night and the white one is the day.
They circle around, coming one after another, to eat your time as they take you closer to death.
The big black snake with a dark mouth is your grave. It’s there, just waiting for you to fall into it.
The honeycomb is this world and the sweet drops of honey are the luxuries of this world. We like to taste a little of the
luxuries of this world and it’s very sweet.
Then we want to taste little more and then
more.
Meanwhile, we get lost into it and we forget
about our time, we forget about our death
and we forget about our grave."
Moral: Life is full of attractions and
distractions. And death will come to us
without any notice. So prepare for it well in
advance so that you won’t have to regret
later.
Live..Love..Laugh... Be Content With Life
