How to be dutiful!!!

(The story of scorpion & the saint)

During our childhood, we all have read the story of Scorpion & the Saint where Saint is trying to save the scorpion from the river, the moment scorpion got its senses & safe in Saint’s hand, it bites in Saint’s palm. Saint was in deep pain instead he tried & made sure that Scorpion is safe at the bank of the river. During this time the Scorpion kept biting the saint’s palm.

Later the pupil of the Saint asked, Sir, you are smiling? Why you kept trying saving the scorpion even when he was biting you?

The Saint replied: we both were following our dharma (duty). As a scorpion, it was his dharma to bite & as a human being it was my Dharma (duty) to save his life

Moral:  We must follow our duty/ responsibility irrespective of what the other person is doing with you. Our doing well should not be stopped because the other person has done badly.

Remember, we are responsible for our own behavior & actions. So, we should not hurt the others. Imagine if we follow the same in our personal life/professional life without bothering about other people reaction, we shall always be DUTIFUL & HAPPY!!
