Feeling Free is a Choice
This is the case with our minds. Like the cow, all the nonsense that we carry inside is not interested in us. We are interested in it, and we keep it together somehow or the other. We go crazy trying to keep it all together under our control.

Value: Truth
Sub-Value: Wisdom, Detachment
The Guru was walking through the marketplace with his disciples. They saw a man dragging a cow by a rope.
The Guru told the man to wait and asked his disciples to surround them.
“I am going to teach you something” and continued…
“Tell me who is bound to whom? Is the cow bound to this man or the man is bound to the cow?”
The disciples said without hesitation “Of course the cow is bound to the man! The man is the master. He is holding the rope. The cow has to follow him wherever he goes. The man is the master and the cow is the slave.”
“Now watch this”, said the Guru and took a pair of scissors from his bag and cut the rope.
The cow ran away from the master and the man ran after his cow. “Look, what is happening,” said the Guru.
“Do you see who the master is? The cow is not at all interested in this man. The cow, in fact, is trying to escape from this man.

This is the case with our minds. Like the cow, all the non-sense that we carry inside is not interested in us. We are interested in it, and we keep it together somehow or the other. We go crazy trying to keep it all together under our control.
“….The moment we lose interest in all the garbage-filled in our head, and the moment we understand the futility of it, it will start to disappear. Like the cow, it will escape and simply disappear.”
