Why a Person is Slave of his Thoughts

 Allah has bestowed every human being with unlimited capabilities about which he himself doesn’t know. If a person limits himself to particular boundaries by thinking that he is unable to do more, then he will be doing injustice not only to himself and also to the people of his surroundings, who would have benefited from his capabilities. We can take the example of elephants in this respect.

Why a Person is Slave of his Thoughts
Once upon a time, an old man along with a young boy was walking around in a village. This was a very fine evening with pleasant weather. While they were crossing in front of a farmer’s house, they saw two elephants tied with thin chains to small pegs. The young boy was very much surprised to see gigantic elephants tied with such weak chains and pegs. He assumed these things to be so feeble to handle such huge elephants.

He put his query in front of the old man that why these giant elephants not getting themselves free by putting little jerk. The old man got the young boy’s point and told him the reality of what he was seeing. The old man said, “When these elephants were born, both were very weak. The farmer tied them with such little pegs by using thin chains. Each of the elephants tried his best to break both of these i.e. chain and peg, to get him free, but he failed to do so. The reason was that at that time the elephants were weaker than the things with which they were tied. The elephants got tired of doing the effort and at last, they accepted in their mind that these chains and pegs are stronger than them. With the passage of time, the elephants grew up but the chains and pegs remained of the same size. Now you can see such massive elephants tied in such conditions, which made you surprised. Actually, the elephants have become slaves of their thought and have considered these chains and pegs dominant on them in their childhood and now they are not even trying to break these to get them free".

The Same is the condition with a person who becomes a slave of his thoughts and doesn’t try to break the chain to get him free of such thoughts. A person can do anything he wants if he considers himself capable of doing that. If he starts a task with an overwhelmed approach of failure then he will be failed to accomplish that task.

How Dress Speaks of One's Personality

  Dress is having a great impact on the personality of a person and also decides how others will behave with him by getting an impression about him. People behave as if they get inspired by a person and his dressing plays the main role in this. One great example is as below. Shiekh Saadi was a great and well-known poet of Iran. He was very popular because of his poetry. One day he was going to the Court of King and on his way to the court, he had to stay in a house of a nobleman. He was simply dressed and was not recognized by the nobleman. The nobleman and his servant behaved with Shiekh Saadi in a very casual way, as they considered Saadi to be a poor man wearing a low-cost/ordinary dress. They didn’t show any kind of hospitality that Shiekh Saadi actually deserved Shiekh Saadi was very sad about their behavior. He went to the King’s Court.
