Once two villagers were sitting under a tree and watching the sunset.
They were very close friends. After sitting quietly for some time， one asked the other， “What are you thinking？ I am planning to buy five acres1 of land， a garden.” The other friend immediately said， “Don’t buy the garden！”
The first one was surprised. He asked， “Why？” The second one replied， “I am planning to buy a buffalo2. Then， my buffalo will enter your garden and we will fight， have misunderstandings and lose our friendship. I do not want to lose our friendship.”
The first one said， “Then， you cancel your plan of buying a buffalo. I am going to buy my garden.” The second one said， “No， no， no. I have already decided to buy a buffalo.” The first one said， “How will your buffalo enter my garden？ I will fence3 it thoroughly4.”
The second one said， “No， you see， it can just enter； a buffalo is a buffalo. Who can stop it？ It can do anything.”
Then the fight went to such an extent that both of them were badly beaten！
Neither has bought buffalo nor any land. Nothing has happened. Just the mind’s race and both of them were badly beaten！Our fears are also like that. The future has not yet come. But you just sit there and think， “Oh！What will happen？” So much anxiety about the future！In this run， the mind gets into such a mess. It is unable to see the present moment as it unfolds！
When people are newly married they say， “We will be husband and wife for many lifetimes to come！ This one birth is not enough. We will be man and wife for the next seven births！” In reality， they may be fed up of5 each other in this birth itself， but they talk of the next seven births！
You are afraid of opening your fists. What is there with you that you have to hold your fists？ You have actually nothing in it. Open your fists. The whole sky will be in your hands.
Be natural. Be with love. Celebrate life.
