A
renunciant couple were once proceeding through a thick
jungle on a pilgrimage to an inaccessible shrine. The
husband saw on the footpath a precious stone, shining
brilliantly when the Sun’s rays fell upon it from
between the leaves. He hastily threw some sand over it with
the movement of his foot, so that his wife may not be
tempted to pick it up and become a slave to the tinsel. The
wife saw the gesture and chided the husband for still
retaining in his mind, a distinction between sand and gold.
For her, both were the same. This habit of judging and
labelling others is a prevalent practice today. What can you
know of the inner working of another's mind?
