An interesting story.
A crow was sitting on a tree doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow sitting and doing nothing (it was actually meditating on Sarveswaran) and asked him:
"Dear crow, can I sit like you and do nothing all day long?"
Crow answered in as many few words as possible:
"Yes."
So the rabbit sat on the ground below the same tree and sat there doing nothing, thinking about all the things he could think except about what he wanted in his life and why he was sitting like the crow. When he was building big and strong castles in the air, a fox appeared from nowhere, grabbed and devoured the rabbit.
When he was dying, he asked the crow: "Why did'nt you tell me about this risk?
Crow thought:
"Poor rabbit! I forgot to tell him that if he wanted to to meditate all day, he had to rise and sit on a high plateau above all his desires".
