“Both Gautam Buddha and Isaac Newton, got insight
into the way the world is, while sitting under a tree!”
he smiled to put the gathering at ease.
“Although the tree is symbolic, the message is to be
close to nature. All of us seem to be getting away
from outdoors.”
Our techie friend was distracted on seeing some
black garden ants walking on the carpet. The Yogi
could see his discomfiture. He decided to use the
garden ant to illustrate a point.
“How many of you have heard the Panchtantra story
of the three Brahmins who try to bring a tiger to life,
by the power of their accumulated knowledge?”
Several people raised their hands.
“Ok, tell me, can we create a black garden ant like
creature, using all the accumulated knowledge of
mankind?”
There was silence.
The Yogi went on to tell the audience about the
challenges in creating a garden ant.
“The major issues would be intelligence, weight and
flexibility. These ants start walking even after falling
off from tree branches.”
