There was a
young man who wanted to be successful and have a lot of money. He went with a
Guru and said: "I want to be on the same level as YOU." And the Guru
told him: "If you want to be on the same level as I... Tomorrow I'll wait
for you on the beach"
The young
man arrived at 4 in the morning ready to work...
With his
sportswear... with his shorts... The Guru took him by the hand and asked:
"How much do you want to be successful?" The young man said:
"more than anything in the world."
And the
Guru took him to the water. When they were in the water, it took him deeper and
the young man thought, "this is crazy". Then the young man said:
"Hey, what I want is money", "I do not want to learn to swim..."
"I do
not want to be a lifesaver." What I want is money and success! The Guru replied:
"Walk deeper... deeper..."
And the
young man thought: "That the Guru was crazy; He knows how to make money,
but he's crazy."
And he
said: "come walk deeper... walk deeper..."
And then he
said: "I thought you wanted to succeed!"
The young
man said: "Yes I want!"... to which the Guru replied: "Then come
deeper!".
When he
came closer, he grabbed the back of the neck, put his head in the water and
kept it inside. He kept it with his head in the water until the young man was
about to choke... about to faint. And then he let him take off his head...
The Guru
told him: "I have a question. What were you thinking when you had your
head in the water?"
The young
man said: "I only thought about breathing."
The Guru
said: "When YOU want to succeed, with the same strength that you wanted to
breathe... then you will be successful!"
"When
you were in the water you were pulling air from where you could..."
"You
heard your forced breathing..."
"You
lacked air and the only thing that was in your mind was to breathe".
"You
did not care about anything else, not a basketball game or a TV show, or
partying with your friends..."
"The
only thing that interested you when you could not breathe, was to take pure
air."
