Page 150 - Ecstasy and Agony in the Journey to Infinity

constructively thinking about somebody else saying that he is also moving on the right path and let him at his own pace, why should the hare taunt the tortoise and say it is a tortoise? It had no business. If it want to run, let it run. The story of the hare and the tortoise, if you see, the problem was the hare comparing itself with tortoise and then thinking that after all it has come a long way, let it take rest and then the tortoise takes over. Whether the tortoise crosses or not, the point is the hare has lost the game. The hare loses its goal clarity. Instead of running the entire race, it stopped and stopped because of comparision to something else. Comparision brings you to the state of null. If we don’t drag the story to its usual end but then take a spiritual diverision, then we will see what has happened to that hare. The hare lost the game, alright, but before that it lost the goal itself. It lost the game because of lack of goal clarity. Losing the game is not because of anything else. It is mainly because it lost it’s goal clarity. I will attend to my business, let that fellow attend to his business. In any race, if you try to look at the other person, you are lost. You must go ahead. It is because we compare with others, why do we compare?
