Whom would you have as the captain of your ship,
One who remains calm in a storm or
One who gets all worked up?
I have asked this question of many people. No one so far has chosen the second option. All have insantly chosen the first one.
This is a metaphorical question not a hypothetical one.
The ship is our life. the storm represents difficulties we face during the course of living and the captain represents those aspets of our personality that help is take on the responsibilities of leading.
These qualities are given to all of us but many of us fail to value and nurture them.
Instead we chose to define ourselves by those qualities that confer short term gains and momentary pleasures.
Spiritual discipline helps us to know the difference and make a wise choice.
