Parable Of Wisdom

This parable lays an inspiration from
‘Buddha’ thought!
‘He’, himself proclaimed his disciples...
“Enlightenment in seven days” granted as a privilege and an accolade.
The one who makes an effort, will get enlightened in seven days, if not , definitely in seven months or in seven years.
A young disciple, perceptive with the whole thought..
Meddling into the conversation said, ‘I will do, whatever it takes me to bear’.
One week, he intend to procure enlightenment
His ardent desire to know what it takes to transcendant.
Concentration was ‘his’ unembellished reply.
It just took ten minutes to get distracted even after his constant try.
Little by little, he began to pay attention striding slowly on the path of transformation...
One fine day, he came to realisation
This path was teaching him wisdom with conviction.
It was, at that very moment, he became an enlightened one!!
