A long time ago in China , a girl named Li-Li got married & went to live with her

Li-Li was angered b man o! her mother-in-law# s habits. In addition, she
"riti"i%ed Li-Li "onstantl. &as $assed, and wee's $assed.
Li-Li and her mother-in-law never sto$$ed arguing and !ighting. (ut what made the
situation even worse was that, a""ording to an"ient )hinese tradition, Li-Li had to
bow to her mother-in-law and obe her ever wish. *ll the anger and unha$$iness
in the house was "ausing Li-Li#s $oor husband great distress.
+inall, Li-Li "ould not stand her mother-in-law# s bad tem$er and di"tatorshi$ an
longer, and she de"ided to do something about it, Li-Li went to see her !ather#s
good !riend, Mr. -uang, who sold herbs. She told him the situation and as'ed i! he
would give her some $oison so that she "ould solve the $roblem on"e and !or all.
Mr. -uang thought !or a while, and !inall said, #Li-Li, I will hel$ ou solve our
$roblem, but ou must listen to me and obe what I tell ou.#
Li-Li said, #Yes, Mr. -uang, I will do whatever ou tell me to do.#Mr. -uang went
into the ba"' room, and returned in a !ew minutes with a $a"'age o! herbs. -e
told Li-Li, #You "an#t use a .ui"'-a"ting $oison to get rid o! our mother-in-law,
be"ause that would "ause $eo$le to be"ome sus$i"ious.
There!ore, I have given ou a number o! herbs that will slowl build u$ $oison in
her bod. Ever other da $re$are some deli"ious meal and $ut a little o! these
herbs in her serving. /ow, in order to ma'e sure that nobod sus$e"t ou, when
she dies, ou must be ver "are!ul to a"t ver !riendl towards her. #&on#t argue
with her, obe her ever wish, and treat her li'e a .ueen.# Li-Li was so ha$$. She
than'ed Mr. -uang and hurried home to start her $lot o! murdering her mother-
in-law. 0ee's went b, and months went b, and ever other da, Li-Li served the
s$e"iall treated !ood to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. -uang had
said about avoiding sus$i"ion, so she "ontrolled her tem$er, obeed her mother-in-
law, and treated her li'e her own mother.
*!ter si1 months had $assed, the whole household had "hanged. Li-Li had
$ra"ti"ed "ontrolling her tem$er so mu"h that she !ound that she almost never
got mad or u$set. She hadn#t had an argument with her mother-in-law in si1
months be"ause she now seemed mu"h 'inder and easier to get along with.
The mother-in-law# s attitude towards Li-Li "hanged, and she began to love Li-Li
li'e her own daughter. She 'e$t telling !riends and relatives that Li-Li was the
best daughter-in- law one "ould ever !ind. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now
treating ea"h other li'e a real mother and daughter. Li-Li#s husband was ver

!rom 'illing m mother-in-law. She#s "hanged into su"h a ni"e woman, and I love
her li'e m own mother. I do not want her to die be"ause o! the $oison I gave
her.#
Mr. -uang smiled and nodded his head. #Li-Li, there#s nothing to worr about. I
never gave ou an $oison. The herbs I gave ou were vitamins to im$rove her
health. The onl $oison was in our mind and our attitude towards her, but that
has been all washed awa b the love whi"h ou gave to her.#

There is a Solution for every problem....
An old man lived alone in Minnesota. -e wanted to s$ade his $otato garden,
but it was ver hard wor'.
-is onl son, who would have hel$ed him, was in $rison. The old man wrote a
letter to his son and mentioned his situation.
7&ear Son, I am !eeling $rett bad be"ause it loo's li'e I won#t be able to
$lant m $otato garden this ear.
I hate to miss doing the garden, be"ause our mother alwas loved $lanting
time. I#m 8ust getting too old to be digging u$ a garden $lot.I! ou were
here, all m troubles would be over. I 'now ou would dig the $lot !or me,
i! ou weren#t in $rison. Love, &ad7
Shortl a!terwards, the old man re"eived this telegram3
7+or -eaven#s sa'e, &ad,don#t dig u$ the garden,, That#s where I buried the
49/S,7
The ne1t morning, a do%en +(I agents and lo"al $oli"e o!!i"ers showed u$ and dug
u$ the entire garden without !inding an guns.
)on!used, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what
ha$$ened and as'ed him what to do ne1t.
-is son#s re$l was3 74o ahead and $lant our $otatoes, &ad. It#s the best
I "ould do !or ou !rom here.7
This is a story of a poor Scottish !armer whose name was +leming. One da,
while tring to ma'e a living !or his !amil, he heard a "r !or hel$ "oming !rom a
nearb bog. -e dro$$ed his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in
bla"' mu"', was a terri!ied bo, s"reaming and struggling to !ree himsel!. +armer
+leming saved the bo !rom what "ould have been a slow and terri!ing death.The
ne1t da, a !an" "arriage $ulled u$ to the s"otsman#s s$arse surroundings. *n
elegantl dressed nobleman ste$$ed out and introdu"ed himsel! as the !ather o!
the bo !armer +leming had saved. 7I want to re$a ou, 7said the nobleman.
7Yes,7 the !armer re$lied $roudl. 7I#ll ma'e ou a deal. Let
me ta'e our son and give him a good edu"ation. I! he#s anthing li'e his !ather,
he#ll grow to be a man ou "an be $roud o!.7 *nd that he did.
: In time, +armer +leming#s son graduated !rom St. Mar#s -os$ital Medi"al
S"hool in London, and went on to be"ome 'nown throughout the world as the noted
Sir *le1ander +leming, the dis"overer o! 5eni"illin. Years a!terward, the
nobleman#s son was stri"'en with $neumonia. 0hat saved him2 5eni"illin. This is
not the end.
And old story tells that one da, a "ountrman 'no"'ed hard on a monaster
door. 0hen the mon' tending the gates o$ened u$, he was given a magni!i"ent
bun"h o! gra$es.
- (rother, these are the !inest m vineard has $rodu"ed. I;ve "ome to bear them
as a gi!t.
- Than' ou, I will ta'e them to the *bbot immediatel, he;ll be delighted with
this o!!ering.
- /o, I brought them !or ou. +or whenever I 'no"' on the door, it is ou o$ens it.
0hen I needed hel$ be"ause the "ro$ was destroed b drought, ou gave me a
$ie"e o! bread and a "u$ o! wine ever da.
The mon' held the gra$es and s$ent the entire morning admiring it. *nd de"ided
to deliver the gi!t to the *bbot, who had alwas en"ouraged him with words o!
wisdom.
The *bbot was ver $leased with the gra$es, but he re"alled that there was a si"'
brother in the monaster, and thought3
7I;ll give him the gra$es. 0ho 'nows, the ma bring some 8o to his li!e.7
*nd that is what he did. (ut the gra$es didn;t sta in the si"' mon';s room !or
long, !or he re!le"ted3
7The "oo' has loo'ed a!ter me !or so long, !eeding me onl the best meals. I;m
sure he will en8o these.7
The "oo' was ama%ed at the beaut o! the gra$es. So $er!e"t that no one would
a$$re"iate them more than the se1ton< man at the monaster "onsidered him a
hol man, he would be best .uali!ied to value this marvel o! nature.
The se1ton, in turn, gave the gra$es as a gi!t to the oungest novi"e, that he
might understand that the wor' o! 4od is in the smallest details o! )reation.
0hen the novi"e re"eived them, he remembered the !irst time he "ame to the
monaster, and o! the $erson who had o$ened the gates !or him< it was that
gesture whi"h allowed him to be among this "ommunit o! $eo$le who 'new how to
value the wonders o! li!e.
*nd so, 8ust be!ore night!all, he too' the gra$es to the mon' at the gates.
- Eat and en8o them = he said. = +or ou s$end most o! our time alone here, and
these gra$es will ma'e ou ver ha$$.
The mon' understood that the gi!t had been trul destined !or him, and relished
ea"h o! the gra$es, be!ore !alling into a $leasant slee$.
Thus the "ir"le was "losed< the "ir"le o! ha$$iness and 8o, whi"h alwas shines
brightl around generous $eo$le.

-e sat there !or several das and neither !riend nor stranger went near him.

One of the most memorable "ase studies I "ame a"ross on Fa$anese
management was the "ase o! the em$t soa$ bo1, whi"h ha$$ened in one o!
Fa$an#s biggest "osmeti"s "om$anies. The "om$an re"eived a "om$laint that a
"onsumer had bought a soa$ bo1 that was em$t. Immediatel the authorities
isolated the $roblem to the assembl line, whi"h trans$orted all the $a"'aged
bo1es o! soa$ to the deliver de$artment.
+or some reason, one soa$ bo1 went through the assembl line em$t.
Management as'ed its engineers to solve the $roblem. 5ost-haste, the
engineers wor'ed hard to devise an G-ra ma"hine with high-resolution
monitors manned b two $eo$le to wat"h all the soa$ bo1es that $assed
through the line to ma'e sure the were not em$t. /o doubt, the wor'ed
hard and the wor'ed !ast but the s$ent whoo$ee amount to do so.
(ut when a ran'-and-!ile em$loee in a small "om$an was $osed with the
same $roblem, did not get into "om$li"ations o! G-ras, et" but instead
"ame out with another solution. -e bought a strong industrial ele"tri" !an and
$ointed it at the assembl line. -e swit"hed the !an on, and as ea"h soa$
bo1 $assed the !an, it sim$l blew the em$t bo1es out o! the line.
Once there was a ing who was alwas !ighting. One da he was badl wounded in
a battle. * sage $assed b and tou"hed him, and the 'ing was "ured. -e wanted to
give the sage a reward !or saving him, but the sage didn;t want anthing.
The 'ing said, HI don;t want to be indebted to ou.I
The sage said, HIn the !uture I;ll as' !or something. I don;t need anthing now, but
one da I;ll "ome.I
Months $assed and the sage was $raing to 4od one da !or $ea"e, light and bliss,
when a desire entered his mind. +or the $ast !ew months his "ow had not been
$rodu"ing mil'. HShe;s old,I he said. HI;ll as' the 'ing !or a new "ow.I
-e went to see the 'ing and !ound him in a tem$le. -e was $raing !or more
wealth and more !ame.
The sage said to himsel!, HI won;t as' him !or a "ow. -e;s a beggar li'e me.I *nd
he turned to leave.
The 'ing sto$$ed him and said, HSage, ou saved m li!e. 5lease tell me what ou
want. I;ll give ou anthing.I
The sage said, HI $ra to 4od and meditate. -e is all I need. I don;t want to ta'e
anthing !rom anone in need. You told me ou too' an oath that ou would not be
indebted to anone. I, too, have ta'en an oath. M oath is that i! anone is in
need, then I won;t ta'e anthing !rom that $erson. That;s wh I won;t ta'e
anthing !rom ou. You;re $raing to 4od !or material things. You;re begging !or
4od to give ou wealth and !ame. So how "an I as' anthing o! ou2 4od has shown

!r Arun "andhi# grandson o! Mahatma 4andhi and !ounder o! the MJ 4andhi
Institute !or /onviolen"e, in his Fune K le"ture at the 9niversit o! 5uerto Ri"o,
shared the !ollowing stor3
I was AL ears old and living with m $arents at the institute m grand!ather had
!ounded AM miles outside o! &urban, South *!ri"a, in the middle o! the sugar
$lantations. 0e were dee$ in the "ountr and had no neighbors, so m two sisters
and I would alwas loo' !orward to going to town to visit !riends or go to the
movies.One da, m !ather as'ed me to drive him to town !or an all-da
"on!eren"e, and I 8um$ed at the "han"e. Sin"e I was going to town, m mother
gave me a list o! gro"eries she needed and, sin"e I had all da in town, m !ather
as'ed me to ta'e "are o! several $ending "hores, su"h as getting the "ar servi"ed.
0hen I dro$$ed m !ather o!! that morning, he said, 7I will meet ou here at N
$m, and we will go home together.7
*!ter hurriedl "om$leting m "hores, I went straight to the nearest movie
theatre. I got so engrossed in a Fohn 0anedouble-!eature that I !orgot the
time. It was N3CD be!ore I
remembered. ( the time I ran to the garage and got the "ar and hurried to
where m !ather was waiting !or me, it was almost L3DD.
-e an1iousl as'ed me, 70h were ou late27 I was so ashamed o! telling him I
was wat"hing a Fohn 0ane western moviethat I said, 7The "ar wasn#t read, so I
had to wait,7 not reali%ing that he had alread "alled the garage.
0hen he "aught me in the lie, he said3 7There#s something wrong in the wa I
brought ou u$ that didn#t give ou the "on!iden"e to tell me the truth. In order
to !igure out where I went wrong with ou, I#m going to wal' home AM miles and
thin' about it.7
So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to wal' home in the dar' on
mostl un$aved, unlit roads. I "ouldn#t leave him, so !or !ive-and-a-hal! hours I
drove behind him, wat"hing m !ather go through this agon !or a stu$id lie that I
uttered. I de"ided then and there that I was never going to lie again.
I o!ten thin' about that e$isode and wonder, i! he had $unished me the wa we
$unish our "hildren, whether I would have learned a lesson at all.
I don#t thin' so. I would have su!!ered the $unishment and gone on doing the
same thing. (ut this single non-violent a"tion was so $ower!ul that it is still as i! it
ha$$ened esterda. This Too Shall 5ass

Once a ing called upon all o! his wise men and as'ed them, I Is there a mantra
or suggestion whi"h wor's in ever situation, in ever "ir"umstan"es, in ever
$la"e and in ever time. In ever 8o, ever sorrow, ever de!eat and ever
vi"tor2 One answer !or all .uestions2 Something whi"h "an hel$ me when none o!
ou is available to advise me2 Tell me is there an mantra2I
*ll the wise men were $u%%led b the Jing;s .uestion. The thought and thought.
*!ter a length dis"ussion, an old man suggested something whi"h a$$ealed to all
o! them. The went to the 'ing and gave him something written on $a$er, with a
"ondition that the 'ing was not to see it out o! "uriosit.
Onl in e1treme danger, when the Jing !inds himsel! alone and there seems to be
no wa, onl then he "an see it. The Jing $ut the $a$ers under his &iamond ring.
Some time later, the neighbors atta"'ed the Jingdom. Jing and his arm !ought
bravel but lost the battle. The Jing had to !lee on his horse. The enemies were
!ollowing him. getting "loser and "loser. Suddenl the Jing !ound himsel! standing
at the end o! the road - that road was not going anwhere. 9nderneath there was
a ro"' valle thousand !eet dee$. I! he 8um$ed into it, he would be !inishedOand
he "ould not return be"ause it was a small roadOthe sound o! enem;s horses was
a$$roa"hing !ast. The Jing be"ame restless. There seemed to be no wa.
Then suddenl he saw the &iamond in his ring shining in the sun, and he
remembered the message hidden in the ring. -e o$ened the diamond and read the
message. The message was - I T-IS TOO S-*LL 5*SSI
The Jing read it . *gain read it. Suddenl something stru"' him- Yes , This too will
$ass. Onl a !ew das ago, I was en8oing m 'ingdom. I was the mightiest o! all
the Jings. Yet toda, the Jingdom and all his $leasure have gone. I am here tring
to es"a$e !rom enemies. Li'e those das o! lu1uries have gone, this da o! danger
too will $ass. * "alm "ame on his !a"e. -e 'e$t standing there. The $la"e where he
was standing was !ull o! natural beaut. -e had never 'nown that su"h a beauti!ul
$la"e was also a $art o! his Jingdom.
The revelation o! the message had a great e!!e"t on him. -e rela1ed and !orgot
about those !ollowing him. *!ter a !ew minutes he reali%ed that the noise o! the
horses and the enem "oming was re"eding. The moved into some other $art o!
the mountains and were near him
The Jing was ver brave. -e reorgani%ed his arm and !ought again. -e de!eated
the enem and regained his em$ire. 0hen he returned to his em$ire a!ter vi"tor,
he was re"eived with mu"h !an!are. The whole "a$ital was re8oi"ing in the vi"tor.
Everone was in a !estive mood. +lowers were being showered on Jing !rom ever
house, !rom ever "orner. 5eo$le were dan"ing and singing. +or a moment Jing said
to himsel!,I I am one o! the bravest and greatest Jing. It is not eas to de!eat
me. 0ith all the re"e$tion and "elebration he saw an ego emerging in him.
Suddenl the &iamond o! his ring !lashed in the sunlight and reminded him o! the
message. -e o$en it and read it again3 HT-IS TOO S-*LL 5*SSI.
-e be"ame silent. -is !a"e went through a total "hange - !rom the egoist he
moved to a state o! utter humbleness. I! this too is going to $ass, it is not ours.
The de!eat was not ours, the vi"tor is not ours. You are 8ust a wat"her.
Everthing $asses b. 0e are witnesses o! all this. 0e are the $er"eivers. Li!e

$any years ago in a small Indian village, a !armer had the mis!ortune o!
owing a large sum o! mone to a village monelender
The monelender, who was old and ugl, !an"ied the !armer#s beauti!ul
daughter. So he $ro$osed a bargain.-e said he would !orgo the !armer#s debt i!
he "ould marr his daughter.
(oth the !armer and his daughter were horri!ied b the $ro$osal. So the
"unning mone-lender suggested that the let $roviden"e de"ide the matter.
-e told them that he would $ut a bla"' $ebble and a white $ebble into an
em$t mone bag.
Then the girl would have to $i"' one $ebble !rom the bag.
A? I! she $i"'ed the bla"' $ebble, she would be"ome his wi!e and her
!ather#s debt would be !orgiven.
B? I! she $i"'ed the white $ebble she need not marr him and her !ather#s
debt would still be !orgiven.
C? (ut i! she re!used to $i"' a $ebble, her !ather would be thrown into
8ail.
The were standing o, n a $ebble strewn $ath in the !armer#s !ield. *s the
tal'ed, the monelender bent over to $i"' u$ two $ebbles. *s he $i"'ed them
u$, the shar$-eed girl noti"ed that he had $i"'ed u$ two bla"' $ebbles and
$ut them into the bag. -e then as'ed the girl to $i"' a $ebble !rom the bag.
/ow, imagine that ou were standing in the !ield.
0hat would ou have done i! ou were the girl2
I! ou had to advise her, what would ou have told her2
)are!ul analsis would $rodu"e three $ossibilities3
A. The girl should re!use to ta'e a $ebble.
B. The girl should show that there were two bla"' $ebbles in the bag and
e1$ose the mone-lender as a "heat.
C. The girl should $i"' a bla"' $ebble and sa"ri!i"e hersel! in order to
save her !ather !rom his debt and im$risonment.
Ta'e a moment to $onder over the stor. The above stor is used with the
ho$e that it will ma'e us a$$re"iate the di!!eren"e between lateral and
logi"al thin'ing. The girl#s dilemma "annot be solved with traditional
logi"al thin'ing. Thin' o! the "onse.uen"es i! she "hooses the above logi"al
answers.
0hat would ou re"ommend to the 4irl to do2
0ell, here is what she did ....
The girl $ut her hand into the monebag and drew out a $ebble. 0ithout
loo'ing at it, she !umbled and let it !all onto the $ebble-strewn $ath where
it immediatel be"ame lost among all the other $ebbles.
7Oh, how "lums o! me,7 she said. 7(ut never mind, i! ou loo' into the bag
!or the one that is le!t, ou will be able to tell whi"h $ebble I $i"'ed.7
Sin"e the remaining $ebble is bla"', it must be assumed that she had $i"'ed
the white one. *nd sin"e the mone-lender dared not admit his dishonest,
the girl "hanged what seemed an im$ossible situation into an e1tremel
advantageous one.
MOR*L O+ T-E STORY3Most "om$le1 $roblems do have a solution. It , is onl

Fa$anese thin'ing - another e1am$le3
The %apanese have always loved fresh !ish. (ut the waters "lose to Fa$an have
not held man !ish !or de"ades. So to !eed the Fa$anese $o$ulation, !ishing
boats got bigger and went !arther than ever.
The !arther the !ishermen went, the longer it too' to bring in the !ish. I! the
return tri$ too' more than a !ew das, the !ish were not !resh. The Fa$anese did
not li'e the taste.
To solve this $roblem, !ishing "om$anies installed !ree%ers on their boats. The
would "at"h the !ish and !ree%e them at sea. +ree%ers allowed the boats to go
!arther and sta longer. -owever, the Fa$anese "ould taste the di!!eren"e
between !resh and !ro%en and the did not li'e !ro%en !ish. The !ro%en !ish
brought a lower $ri"e.
So !ishing "om$anies installed !ish tan's. The would "at"h the !ish and stu!!
them in the tan's, !in to !in. *!ter a little thrashing around, the !ish sto$$ed
moving. The were tired and dull, but alive.
9n!ortunatel, the Fa$anese "ould still taste the di!!eren"e. (e"ause the !ish
did not move !or das, the lost their !resh-!ish taste. The Fa$anese $re!erred
the livel taste o! !resh !ish, not sluggish !ish.
So how did Fa$anese !ishing "om$anies solve this $roblem2 -ow do the get
!resh-tasting !ish to Fa$an2
To 'ee$ the !ish tasting !resh, the Fa$anese !ishing "om$anies still $ut the

* blind bo sat on the ste$s o! a building with a hat b his !eet. -e held u$ a sign

Soon the hat began to !ill u$. * lot more $eo$le were giving mone to the blind

That a!ternoon the man who had "hanged the sign "ame to see how things were.
The bo re"ogni%ed his !ootste$s and as'ed, 70ere ou the one who "hanged m

The man said, 7I onl wrote the truth. I said what ou said but in a di!!erent wa.7
0hat he had written was3 &Today is a beautiful day and ' cannot see it.&
&o ou thin' the !irst sign and the se"ond sign were saing the same thing2
O! "ourse both signs told $eo$le the bo was blind. (ut the !irst sign sim$l said

The most beauti!ul thing is to see a $erson smiling, *nd even more beauti!ul, is

There was on"e a 'ing who de"ided that i! he 'new
-who the most im$ortant $eo$le to be with were,what the most im$ortant thing to do
was,-when the best time to do ea"h thing was,
that he would "ertainl be the !inest 'ing ever to rule the land. *lthough he had
as'ed his advisers, none had been able to give him a good answer to these .uestions.
*t last he de"ided to as' the advi"e o! a wise hermit. The 'ing dressed in the "lothes
o! a "ommoner and set out !or the !orest. 0hen he neared the hermit#s hut, he
ordered his 'nights to sta ba"' at a distan"e, and he rode the last se"tion o! trail
alone.
The 'ing !ound the hermit digging in his garden. The old man greeted him but
"ontinued digging. The 'ing told the hermit that he had "ome to !ind answers to his
three .uestions. The hermit listened but gave no answer and "ontinued wor'ing. The
'ing observed that the hermit was !rail and elderl and that the wor' was ver
di!!i"ult !or him. The 'ing o!!ered to ta'e over the digging, and the hermit allowed
it.
The 'ing dug !or one hour. Then he re$eated the .uestion, but the hermit did not
answer. -e wor'ed again !or another hour, and then re$eated his .uestions with the
same results. This "ontinued !or a !ew more hours until the sun began to sin' low in
the s'. +inall the 'ing got dis"ouraged. 7I "ame to ou !or answers wise man. I! ou
have none, tell me and I will return home.7
Fust them someone "ame running u$ the $ath. The turned to see a man with his
hands $ressed to his stoma"h and blood !lowing !rom between them. -e dro$$ed to
the ground at the 'ing#s !eet.
The 'ing and the hermit 'nelt down and began tending to the man. The 'ing washed
and bandaged the man#s wounds. The blood "ontinued to !low so he 'e$t "hanging the
bandages. The 'ing also hel$ed the hermit to get !resh water, and to hel$ the man to
drin'.
+inall the man sle$t and did not wa'e until the ne1t morning. The 'ing too sle$t u$on
the ground, wa'ing o!ten to wat"h over the man. In the morning the man wo'e u$ and
loo'ed at the 'ing.
7+orgive me,7 he said to the 'ing.
7You have nothing to !orgive me !or,7 the 'ing answered.
7Oh, but I do,7 he said. 7You were m enem, and I had sworn to ta'e revenge on ou
!or 'illing m brother and ta'ing m land. I 'new that ou were "oming here toda and
I de"ided to 'ill ou on the trail. (ut when ou did not return !or man hours I le!t m
hideout to !ind ou. Your guards re"ogni%ed me and wounded me. I es"a$ed them but I
would have bled to death i! ou had not "ared !or me. I meant to 'ill ou but now ou
have saved m li!e. I! I live I shall gladl serve ou !or the rest o! m das.7
The 'ing was so ha$$ to have been re"on"iled with an old enem that he immediatel
!orgave him and $romised to return his land. Then the 'ing "alled !or his 'nights to
"arr the man ba"' to his "astle to be "ared !or b his own do"tor.
*!ter the wounded man had gone, the 'ing as'ed the hermit on"e more i! he would not
give him the answer to his .uestion.
7Your .uestions have alread been answered.7 the hermit re$lied.
7(ut how27 the 'ing answered, $er$le1ed.
7-ow27 re$eated the hermit.
7I! ou had not ta'en $it on m wea'ness esterda and hel$ed me instead o!
returning home, that man would have ambushed and 'illed ou on the trail. There!ore,
the most im$ortant time was when ou were digging m garden beds< and I was the
most im$ortant $erson< and the most im$ortant thing to do was to do good !or me.
Later, when the man "ame running to us, the most im$ortant thing to do was to "are
!or him. I! ou had not bound u$ his wounds he would have died without ma'ing $ea"e
with ou. There!ore the most im$ortant $erson was that man, and what ou did was
the most im$ortant thing, and the right time was the time when ou were doing it.7
7You see, the most im$ortant time is alwas the $resent moment. It is the onl time
that is im$ortant be"ause it is the onl time that we have "ontrol over. The $ast we
"an onl loo' ba"' on and wish that we had done di!!erentl. The !uture we "an onl

The most im$ortant $erson is alwas the one ou are with in the $resent moment, and
the onl im$ortant deed is the deed that does what is best !or others.7
