"One day, Lord Dakshinamurty was sitting on the seashore and was watching the waves with awe and was feeling happy. Suddenly, some rubbish was swept into the sea on account of the wind. Immediatley, the waves of the sea came one after the other and swept away the rubbish to the shore. On watching this scene, He thought to himself, "What harm is there, if a small amount of rubbish falls into this unfathomable and infinite sea? Why did the sea sweep it away instantaneously?" He deeply meditated on this point and found out the inner meaning. If today, some rubbish is wept into the sea and the sea accepts it, in the course of time, a huge amount of rubbish may get into the sea and the very nature and form of the sea may undergo a total change It may lose its very shape. That is why it is careful in not accepting even a small amount of rubbish, right from the beginning. It always keeps its purity."
