Let Go !

Buddha was meditating on a big rock beside a lake when a disciple arrived and kneeled in front of him. On his right hand was a beautiful lotus and on his left hand he held an even more beautiful lotus as a mean of offering.

And Buddha said, “Let go!”, that made the puzzled disciple threw the lotus on his right hand back to the lake.

And Buddha, said, again, “Let go!”, that made the puzzled disciple threw the lotus on his left hand back to the lake.

And Buddha, said, “Let go of yourself !”
