LESSONS FROM TREES AND CREEPERS
Once the ocean which is the refuge of all the rivers asked them.
'You mighty rivers. How is it that you bring to my realm the trees which are huge and weighing in tonnes but you do not bring to me any small plant like grass or creepers'.
To the ocean replied the Ganges, 'The trees stand in our banks in haughty temperament. They do not yield to us, very arrogant. It is for this reason that they have to stand against our current. Our current washes them away.
But the grass and the creepers act differently. They bend towards our mighty current and so they are not affected because of us'.
Likewise a king should act bending before mighty foes, saving his life and after the threat has passed away grow and thrive.
