The Self Defence


Once a saint visited village where all people were in trouble due to fear of a snake. The snake decided to have a glimpse of saint to get the blessings.When he met the saint for the first time , he was impressed by his divinity and decided to learn the lessons of life from the saint. The saint said that he is allowed to hunt for his food only and he should abandon killing of people.After that the behaviour of the snake was completely changed. Even the people of the village were relieved. But the life of snake became more difficult as he stopped biting people, Even people were aware of the change behaviour of snake. One day one farmer needed one rope for his work. Instead he decided to use snake for his work. This misuse badly hurt snake. He reached the saint. The saint was shocked to see the terrible condition of snake. He narrated the whole incidence of misuse of farmer and said that due to his promise he did not harm the farmer. The saint replied that he ordered him to stop biting people but not to stop hissing and for his self defense which was vital.It is very important in the world of spirituality too to protect oneself from the enemy. The words of the saint helped the snake to learn the exact meaning of the lesson.
