Guru learns stability of emotions

(Based on the note by    Jayaraman Venkatraman Dindigul in face book. My thanks to him)

One seeker of knowledge approached  a great Guru,

And asked him , “Great sir  , can you  please  tell me,

Wherefrom   you have learnt   this composure  ,

And  wisdom,?” .Guru replied”From a donkey?”

The seeker was greatly disturbed   and thought  ,

That  the Guru  was  teasing  him  , but the Guru told,

“The donkey is not sad that  it carried soiled cloths in the morning,

Nor is it happy that he is carrying clean cloths  in the evening,

I only observed  it and decided to follow  the dokey in my life.,”
