A Zen story.
A boy approached his king,
“I lost my mother, Please! Help me in finding her”,
“How does she look?” asked the king,
“She is the most beautiful lady in your kingdom”, replied the boy
The king ordered a search for pretty ladies,
But none turned out to be her mother,
Time passed and one day a lady approached the king,
And claimed to be the mother of the young boy,
The king couldn’t believe it at first as the lady,
Appeared to be very unsightly
But as the boy came running and hugged her tightly,
The king got to believe her.
The king narrated the story to a Zen master,
The Zen master explained,
Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder,
Its love that begets beauty, not the vice versa,
The boy loved her mother not becoz she was beautiful,
But his mother was beautiful to him becoz he loved her.
So remember! If you find somebody Beautiful,
It is Love.
