About this episode
कदाचित् कश्चन शिष्यः मनसः शान्तिप्राप्तिमार्गं गुरुः पृच्छति । तदा सः गजभृङ्गयोः कथां श्रावयित्वा वदति 'अस्मान् परितः यद्यत् प्रवर्तेत तत्र अस्माकं दृष्टिः तु भवेत् । किन्तु ते अंशाः अस्माकं मनसि चाञ्चल्यं न जनयेयुः । यत् क्रियते तत्र मनसः पूर्णमग्नता स्यात् । अस्माकं निर्णयः बाह्यांशप्रभावयुक्तः न भवेत् । अयमेव शान्तचित्ततायाः मार्गः' इति ।
(“केन्द्रीयसंस्कृतविश्वविद्यालयस्य अष्टादशीयोजनान्तर्गततया एतासां कथानां ध्वनिप्रक्षेपणं क्रियते”)
Once, a disciple asked his teacher the path to attain peace of mind. The teacher narrated the story of the elephant and the bee, then explained: “Whatever happens around us, our eyes may observe it, but it should not disturb the calm of our mind. Whatever task we undertake, our mind should be fully immersed in it. Our decisions must not be influenced by external distractions. This alone is the path to a peaceful mind.”
