Once Buddha was giving a sermon. keeping in mind that monks were present in the audience, he said at the end of the semon, "Before u go to bed don't forget to do the most important thing of the day". Hearing these words the monks thought, "We must not forget to meditate before sleeping." A thief who was also present thought,"Lord Buddha is right.", he mused "Late night is the best time for stealing." A prostitute hearing these words thought that she should try to get some customers that night on the way home from the sermon. Each one took Buddha's instruction according to his or her own frame of mind!
When problems arise in our lives, we always try to change the circumstances often interpreting things as our minds wills, but in many cases the only appropriate solution is to change ourselves- to change our mind!
