Sometimes we feel disturb and comfortless, feels cheated badly and even a small noise irritate us........what should we do at such moment ,on this question a very good story coming in my mind......n want to share it with you and that is...
once a big saint with some of his followers walking from one place to another in search of meaning of life, that saint felt thirsty and want some water to drink ...,he told one of his follower(disciple) to bring some water from a small lake which they saw while moving,
The disciple walked up to the lake. but he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. So he came back and told Saint, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink.”
After about half an hour, again Saint asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked clear. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Saint.
Saint looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said, “See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be ... and the mud settled down on its own – and you got clear water...
what moral i want to show you is:-

our mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. we don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless.” If we try then it ll not happen, but if we give some time, it will automatically calm.
so when you or someone feel disturb just give some time to yourself or to that person ,all bad things ll automatically settle down but if we forcefully try to get some peace when you or someone is disturb then you ll only get muddy water !!!!!!!
