Give u a story:
2 men were put in a giant maze which was riddled with
incomprehensible signs and symbols and were told to find the
exit.
one was a scholar and the other was an uneducated man
The 2 men were discussing how to get out. When the uneducated man
suggested something, the scholar disagreed thinking he is wrong
because he was uneducated. The 2 couldnt agree
Each of them took a different path to find the exit from their
starting point.
but each time the scholar came to a junction he thought so deeply
about the signs and symbols and clues applying his logics,
mathematics and academics and was going about in circles
but each time the uneducated man came to a junction he thought so
deeply about his family and how he would get back to support
them.
Finally only one got out first and it was the uneducated man.
The inventor of the maze was surprised and asked him how.
He said " I do not know how to count or write but
He said : i saw a mouse and followed it and it showed me the
exit"
THe inventor then said to the man that " the maze was riddled with
incomprehensible symbols which do not have a solution .You had the
most simple and perfect solution"
The reason why the scholar failed is becos
1)he was so engrossed in his academics that he failed to look at
the world and notice the subtle things around him which could guide
one in life to a solution
2) his ego of disapproving another man's words thinking he is
inferior had blinded him further
he reason why the uneducated man suceeded is becos
1) he was full of love for his family , with attributes which is
universal and worldly.
2) his mind was humble and free from thoughts that would clog an
academic's mind to blind him further. His void mind was stimulated
to look at the world around him to notice the subtle clues
Lesson learnt
