LITTLE KRISHNAS MOUTH

Little Krishna, while playing, put some dirt into his mouth. Krishna didn’t listen to his brother Balram and the other older boys
who told Him to stop eating the dirt. So they went and complained to Yashoda, Krishna’s mother, that Krishna had swallowed handfuls of mud.
Yashoda caught Krishna by the hand and brought him inside, and scolded. She said that it is bad to put soil into the mouth, and it will harm the health.
But he only looked at her with his big black eyes and said, “No, mother I have not eaten mud at all. You may examine my mouth, if you think I am lying.”
“OK. Open your mouth and show me,” Yashoda asked Krishna. Krishna opened his mouth wide and Yashoda was surprised to see the entire Universe
-the sun, the moon, stars, the earth, all living and not living things, her garden, her house, even her self and her son Krishna inside Krishna’s mouth…

Choose always the way that feels right; however rough it might be. Practice will make it easy and pleasant.

attributed to Pythagoras

When you have been compelled by circumstances to be disturbed in any manner, quickly return to yourself,
and do not continue out of tune longer than the compulsion lasts. You will have increasing control over
your own harmony by continually returning to it.

Marcus Aurelius
