Namaste.


Motto:
...
I asked him, ‘Tigers devour deer;
why do deer live beside the tigers then? '

‘They will live beside tigers. It is the doctrine.
Tigers never jump over deer if they don't feel hungry.
If the deer did not stay beside tigers, they would extinct
from earth many days ago. Men would then enter
the Sundarbans, loading trucks with deer would come back
to slaughter-house and destroy them over night.'... – Tiger and Deer – Sayeed Abubakar






I was dead but something awaked me now.

I noticed a knight could became a tiger, and a wise one. Perhaps wiser than he was as knight.

Sad part is he preach about two options only. The loyalty to friends or principle.
And no words of what I will do.

In few words, Richard Parker is a part of everyone of us. The one we could very hard to tame.

Fox:” To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world . . .”

So, we have to tame the Richard Parker from us, to find ourselves, our purpose, our goal. To fulfill our life.
Otherwise, we will allways struggle with him, with his rage and atacks. Allways will us be worryed to feed him, to stay far from him and this strugle will let us no time to find ourselves.

Fox: „ My life is very monotonous," the fox said. "I hunt chickens; men hunt me. All the chickens are just alike, and all the men are just alike. And, in consequence, I am a little bored. But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then look: you see the grain-fields down yonder? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat . . .”

So, wich story is true ? Does it matter ?
We all have this problem with Richard Parker and the way we solve it, is all what we have to do in this world, in this life.

Often we react ... bad to this and prefer to be hard with those we love, or with ourselves, unaware of the Richard Parker actions.
Little Prince: „ You are not at all like my rose, as yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. You are like my fox when I first knew him. He was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world.”

Still, Richard Parker, and he’s imaginary world is beautifull and lead us to the ultimate ignorance. The one in wich we love ourselves, our actions, our ideas.
Our never ending life.

That for, when we go so deep, it is Richard Parker that help us came back in our senses, that help us regain ourselves.

Fox: „ Men have forgotten this truth, but you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose ...”

So, beware my friends ! You have to tame yourself, the moust hard and scarry task a man could have.
Then, and only then, you could be named responsible for yourself.



Meri subhkamay tumhare saath hain !
