It illustrates how facing challenges head-on, rather than running from them, leads to true freedom and growth. The incident took place when he was in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varanasi">Varanasi</a> (a sacred city on the banks of the Ganges, known for its spiritual significance).</p> <p>&ldquo;Once when I was in Varanasi, I was passing through a place where there was a large tank of water on one side and a high wall on the other. It was in the grounds where there were many monkeys. The monkeys of Varanasi are huge brutes and are sometimes surly.</p>
