When we were children, our grandmother and grandfather used to tell us the story of the seven fish. In those days
We understood it as a story. Now, from another perspective, that is, from a spiritual perspective, a new interpretation is apparent. Somehow...
That is, a king. That is, this living being, the king, had seven sons. That is, lust, anger, greed, attachment, and infatuation that took refuge in the living being... seven with six minds. The sons went hunting. They brought seven fish. That is, by clinging to us, they brought seven fish called the seven vices, the seven vices. (The seven vices are drunkenness, gambling, adultery, theft, lying, and pride)
In that, pride did not dry up. The reason for that was the mind. Even if the six vices could be reduced somehow, the seventh fish called the mind did not dry up. "Chepa! Chepa! Why is there no sun? That means the grass has been trampled
" she said. That means the mind has become a dirty place. The grass is a symbol of ignorance.
Dubbu! Dubbu! Why have you trampled? That means... the cow has not been grazed, she said. The cow is a symbol of purity. All the gods take refuge in the cow. Goddess Lakshmi resides in the cow's feces and urine. Cow. If you ask, "Why didn't you graze the cow?" she says, "The farmer didn't graze it." That means the ignorance in the living entity has not been eradicated. There is no culture. Farmer, farmer... why didn't you graze it? That means, "Grandmother didn't put a cow on it." That means, "Grandmother, Grandmother... why didn't you put a cow on it?" If you ask, "An ant stung you for being a sinner." That means, the suffering of samsara has increased. Ant, ant... why did you stung? That means, "If you put your finger in my golden ant, it will sting you." If you keep on beating yourself up in suffering like a golden ant, you will lose wisdom... and selfishness will increase. Then, if you gain good knowledge and can remain like a drop of water on a palm tree without losing your wisdom, the path to salvation will be smooth.
In another story, the black goat, the Brahmin, and the three thieves, the Brahmin taking the black goat to perform the yajna means that he is ignorant, and black is a symbol of ignorance. The three thieves are the three qualities that are within us. When the first thief questions, that is, he examines our inner self and continues, saying that it is not a dog, but a goat. When the three people ask in this way, the soul is inspired and what it needs is the divine quality. That is, spiritual contemplation, he leaves the goat, that is, ignorance, and walks towards knowledge. In this way, every old story has a hidden meaning.
