What is the meaning of being cool?

There was a king who had a lot of love with petting. Once he announced that anyone who made him a painting that shows peace, then he would give him a reward.

On the day of judgment, a painter came to Raja's palace with his own paintings in the greed of winning the prize.

The King saw all the paintings one by one and kept two of them separate.

Now one of these two was to be chosen for the prize.

The first painting was of a very beautiful lake. The water of that lake was so clear that it was visible to the inside surface. And the image of the iceberg near it was emerging on it, as if there was a mirror. Above was the blue sky in which white clouds were floating like cotton balls.

Anyone who sees this patching, it seems that it does not seem to be a good painting for showing peace.

There were mountains in the second painting, but they were totally stupid, lifeless, desolate and there were thick clouds rising above these mountains which were shining brightly ... due to rainy rain the river was on the boom ... trees were shaking with the strong winds ... and the hill The waterfall on one side was holding the router shape.

Whoever looks at this patching thinks of what it is to do with its "peace" ... just in this unrest is unrest.

All were convinced that the painter who made the first painting would get the reward. Then the king rose from his throne and declared that the painter who made the second painting would give it a reward.

Everyone was in surprise!

First, the painter did not live, he said, "But what is the thing in that petting that you decided to give it to the king ... while everyone is saying that my painting is best for showing peace?"

"Come with me!", The king first asked the painter to walk with him.

The king said in front of the second painting, "Look at this tree bent in the direction of the wind on the left side of the waterfall ... Look at this slice made on its cast ... look how a bird is so soft, with so much calmness and love being fulfilled Is feeding my children ... "

Then the king explained to all the people present there-

"Being calm does not mean that you are in a situation where there is no noise ... there are no problems ... where there is no hard work ... where you do not have the test ... The correct meaning of being calm is that you have all kinds of disorder, The unrest, between chaos and you still remain calm, keep focused on your work ... be more prosperous of your goal. "

Now everyone understood that why the king chose the second painting.

Friends, everyone wants peace in their life. But often we understand "peace" as an external object, and find it in remote locations and extended vacations. While peace is completely inside of us, and the fact is that being calm in between all the pain, suffering and difficulties is actually to be calm.
