An elephant took a bath in a river and
was walking on the road. When it neared a bridge, it saw a pig fully soaked in mud coming from the opposite direction.
The elephant quietly moved to one side, allowed the
dirty pig to pass and then
continued its onward journey.
The unclean pig later spoke to its
friends in arrogance, “See how big I am; even the elephant was afraid of me and moved to one side to let me pass”.
On hearing this, some elephants
questioned their friend, the reason for its action. Was it out of fear??
The elephant smiled and replied, “I
could have easily crushed the pig under my leg, but I was clean and the pig was very unclean. By crushing it, my leg
will become dirty and I wanted to avoid it. Hence, I moved aside.”
*This story reveals

Realized souls will avoid contact with
negativity not out of fear, but out of desire to keep away from impurity though they are strong enough to destroy the
impurity.
You need not react to every opinion,
every comment, or every situation.
Kick
the drama and keep going ahead.
