99. The best garden
In a monastery, there was a competition among disciples over who had maintained the best garden. One disciple was of a very serious nature. He took the competition quite seriously. He always kept his garden neat, clean and well-swept. All the grass was of the same height. All the bushes were neatly trimmed. He was sure that he would get the first prize. On the day of the competition, the master went around all the gardens. Then he came back and ranked the gardens. This disciple's garden got the lowest ranking Everyone was shocked. The disciple came running to the master and asked, 'Master, what is wrong with my garden? Why did you rank me the lowest?
The master smiled at him and asked, 'Where are all the dead leaves?!'
The beauty of life is its chaos. There is a completion in that chaos/ If you try to control life too much, you are denying the wholeness of Life! If you are not able to handle the chaos of life, then you lose spontaneity, beauty, romance, in your life.
