One day Gautama Buddha was going somewhere with his disciples. On the way, Buddha was feeling thirsty. Buddha told his one disciple to bring some water for him. The disciple goes out in search of water. On the way, he saw a river. He went to river to take the water from there. But there were lots of people who were bathing there. Because of that, water was not so pure. That's why he did not take water from that river and went back empty handed. He told buddha that the water was so impure that's why i did not bring water from there.
After listened to him, Buddha send his another disciple to bring water for him. That disciple went to the same river to take water. After Waiting for some time, He returned with water along with him.
Buddha asked him, water of the river was so impure then where from you brought this water. He said, this is the same river water. When i went there, I saw that water was very impure. But i waited there for some time. After some time, the dust went down and separated from the water. Then only the clean water remained up. That is the only reason i could bring that water.
Buddha was very happy with him. He teached us a great lesson by this story. He said, this is the same situation of our life. Because whenever there is suffering in our life we get dispointed from our life like the first disciple did. He did not wait there for water to cleanup and returned back with dispointment. As like him we never wait for something to get heal. We have no patience in ourselves. He said time is the big healer. Everything changes according to time. If you have good days now you definitely will have bad days also. Because change is very necessary for everything. This is universal truth. We should be like second desciple because he kept patience for some time and he got the good result.
