While         they were         passing a lake, Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am         thirsty. Do get me         some water from the lake."                   The disciple walked up to the lake. At that moment, a bullock         cart started         crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very         muddy and         turbid. The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water         to Buddha to         drink?"                   So he came back and told Buddha, "The water in there is very         muddy. I don't         think it is fit to drink."                   After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple         to go back to         the lake.                   The disciple went back, and found that the water was still         muddy. He         returned and informed Buddha about the same.                   After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.                   This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down, and         the water was         clean and clear. So he collected some water in a pot and         brought it to         Buddha.                   Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the         disciple and said,"         See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be, and         the mud settled         down on its own -- and you have clear water.                   Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, just let it         be. Give it a         little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to         put in any         effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless."                   Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job; it is an         effortless process!                   TREAT EVERYONE WITH POLITENESS          EVEN THOSE WHO ARE RUDE TO YOU          NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NICE          BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE NICE.       </blockquote>
