There w
There was a
pond in a jungle. There lived many water living creatures like fishes, frogs
and cancers etc. Among them one frog and two fishes were close friends. The
frog’s name was One-mind (Ekbuddhi), one fish’s name was Hundred- mind
(Shatbuddhi) and the others name was Thousand-mind (Sahasrabuddhi). They all
lived there happily, but one there came some fishermen. They were talking that
there are many fishes in that pond and they would come next day to catch all of
them. The frog overheard this and told that there is a danger in living in this
pond.
He told fishes
that fishermen would come and catch all of them so they should leave that pond
at once. Fishes laughed at him and said, “You are One-mind and like your name
you have qualities too. You are unnecessarily worrying about the danger which
is only based on hearing. We are Hundred-mind and Thousand-mind so we would not
leave the pond. When danger comes we will use our minds to escape from the
danger.”
The next day
fishermen came and caught many of the fishes in their nets. They caught
Hundred-mind and Thousand-mind too. But they could not catch the One-mind frog
because he had gone already from that pond. The frog saw the Hundred-mind was
on the shoulder of one fisherman and the Thousand-mind was in net. He told his
wife, “Hundred-mind is on the shoulder to be feed and Thousand-mind is in net.
But I am One-mind no fisherman could catch me in net.
