Stories
Story 1: The Golden Spoon
Once, Rang Avadhut was invited to a feast at a king's palace. As the food was served, he noticed that his plate had only a simple wooden spoon instead of a golden one like the other guests. Rang Avadhut laughed and said, "Oh, this spoon is perfect for me. I am not interested in the gold; I only want the food."
Lesson: Detachment from material possessions is essential for spiritual growth.
Story 2: The Angry Fly
One day, an angry fly landed on Rang Avadhut's face. Instead of swatting it away, he remained perfectly still. The fly buzzed around for a while, then flew away. Rang Avadhut said, "The fly was just angry. Why should I be angry with it?"
Lesson: Patience and non-reactivity in the face of adversity promote spiritual well-being.
Story 3: The Lost Camel
A group of merchants were traveling in the desert when they lost one of their camels. They searched frantically but could not find it. Suddenly, they heard Rang Avadhut laughing nearby. "What is so funny?" they asked. Rang Avadhut replied, "You are searching for a camel in the desert, and you are looking in the forest!"
Lesson: Sometimes, we waste time searching for answers outside when they are right within us.
