The baby elephant, a free animal of the forest, was trapped within a circle of six feet radius. This unbearable pain for the teenager elephant tried to tear the chain by pulling it hard again and again. Nothing is worth the effort. Only the feet become bloody. Aches and pains make him groan. The pain is aggravated by blood pressure. He couldn’t break the chain. Freedom not matched. Slowly his faith began to grow, this chain cannot be broken. If you break, failure will come, pain will increase.
The young elephant started to grow up. But he could not break the chain. Slowly his desire for freedom disappeared from his mind. His world was limited to a circle of six feet of chains. If he pulls a little on his feet, he knows that his boundaries are over. He got used to it. No longer need thick hardwood logs for chain. Now he stays tied with small poles. At a mature age, having a huge body and huge possessions, the elephant remained stuck in the grip of her ideas that had been developed for a long time. Even if he has the physical strength to free himself from a pole, he is ingrained in his mind that this six-foot radius circle is his world. That is his rule. This is his destiny. Whenever his leg felt a little tight he assumed he couldn't get out of it.
He goes to various places with the circus team. To show the game he taught. He is now tied to a small pole.
One day there was a fire in the circus tent. The circus people fled for their lives. After extinguishing the fire, it was found that the elephant was burnt to ashes along with many things. There are those chains of feet. The pole is burnt. Despite having sufficient physical strength, he made no attempt to break free of his false beliefs.
This story of the elephant is not a made-up story. Those who have seen the circus troupe will know how to control the huge elephants of the circus. Many elephants in the circus died in this way in the fire.
Like this unfortunate elephant, the number of humans who are prisoners of false beliefs is not less in our society. There is no end to the number of false beliefs that exist among us. As for example: I have a burnt forehead..., I am not fit to take on so many responsibilities..., she studied in English medium, I can't compete with her...... It is difficult to adapt to this change.... It will be sad..... I don't have the power to do something great..... I don't have happiness on my forehead......, this illness of mine will not get better.... We are trapped in thousands of such negative and false beliefs. Living a captive life.
The beliefs that we hold in our brain makes the reality in our life. Hence be positive about yourself, Be positive towards the world. World is yours. You are a unique creation in the world. Nobody is alike you. Believe you can, hence you will.
