Three Thieves

A villager wanted to meet the King. He started his journey. While crossing the forest it was dark. Three Thieves appeared before him. The first thief wanted to kill the villager after taking all his positions. The Second one was little kind he tied him to the tree. The third one said since they have already taken all his belongings to leave him without hurting / harming him. The villager had lost everything and was tied to a tree in the forest.

After some time the third thieve came back to villager untied him and took him to the main road which was leading to the King. Thief said I can’t come further. From now you have to go on your own.

These three thieves are none other than Three Gunas of a man.

First one is Tamo Guna who will kill you after taking all the positions.

Second one is Rajo Guna who will tie you with the world.

Third one is Satva Guna who will lead you to a path.

But none of them take you to the Ultimate. Satva can only lead upto a path from where you have to continue your Journey to meet the Ultimate.
