Really speaking, every object in nature, every incident in time, is teaching you a lesson. One morning, Dakshinamurthy was walking in slow steps along the beach. He looked at the waves and drew a lesson therefrom. Slowly but systematically the waves were carrying towards the shore a bit of straw, passing it on from one crest to another, until it was deposited on land! The sea is a broad expanse, deep and mighty. But yet, it is constantly engaged in clearing itself from all extraneous things. It knows that, you must not neglect a desire, for the reason that it is a straw. Force it back onto the shore, where it can do no harm. Dakshinamurthy exclaimed, "Wonderful! The Sea has taught me a great lesson" - the lesson that danger lurks when a desire that arises from the senses and the mind, raises its head! The price of peace and happiness is eternal vigilance.
