Once, a sadhu was travelling through a simple village. He spent his time chanting the names of God and thanking the Lord for everything. Along the way he came across a well and decided to drink some water.
When the sadhu bent over the well, he noticed that a scorpion had fallen in. "I must help the scorpion otherwise it will drown," thought the kind sadhu. He scooped a little palmful of water and tried to lift the scorpion onto his hand. But the scorpion stung him with his jaws and fell back again into the water. The sadhu rubbed his hand to ease the pain. Then, once again he bent over the well. He put his hand in to scoop the water and lift the scorpion out.
He tried again and again to rescue the scorpion. But the scorpion stung him each time. Each time the sadhu's hand jerked with the pain. His hand was bleeding and swollen, yet he tried again and again to save the life of the scorpion.
A man stood nearby watching. He was stunned to see all that was happening. "This ungrateful scorpion keeps on biting you and you keep on saving it. Why don't you just let it drown?" he questioned.
The kind sadhu simply smiled with mercy. "The scorpion's nature is to bite," he replied, "It cannot give up its nature. My nature is to save. I too cannot change my nature". Saying so eventually the sadhu saved the scorpion out of the water.
By developing qualities of tolerance and forgiveness we can serve others.
