Its a very old story. When one elephant was small, the owner use to tie him with a big chain and the child tried hard but could not break it. Now the elephant child had become a strong, tall, grown up elephant and he is tied up with a small rope but it doesnt try to break it away because it beleives that it can never break it. That is how we belief. let me give another example from our lives. We all know, that cast system was started by King Agrasein on the basis of profession still are we able to break it away, especially when we have switched professions? We all know how religions originated, still are we able to accept people of every religion equally? We know we all originated from one source, one entity, but are we able to accept every one equally as our brother and sisters…I guess no..so even if we have knowledge of everything we do not like to use it because our beliefs are binding us..we are imprisoned behind own beliefs..and we can be free only when we decide to eb free..till then we can keep sticking to one corner with the chins which do not exist.. every one wants to eb normal and in the quest to be normal have stopped being a human itself..if you want to be normal..just be yourself and do what you like not what you are told in your beliefs…always try to step out of the chain which is binding you..may be it was just to scare you…may eb you were already free…
