⭐“A small light can defeat a lifetime of darkness.”⭐
One night, during heavy rain and darkness, a frightened disciple asked the Buddha:
“Bhante… why does fear control so many people?”
The Buddha lit a small candle.
The disciple looked confused.
The Buddha then asked:
“Can this tiny flame stop the entire night?”
“No, Bhante,” the disciple replied.
“But,” the Buddha continued, “even a small light is enough…
to stop the darkness from controlling your next step.”
The disciple sat silently.
The Buddha looked at the candle and said softly:
“Fear disappears the same way darkness does—
not all at once…
but with a little light, one step at a time.”
The rain slowly became quiet.
And so did the disciple’s mind.
🌸Lesson:
You do not need all the answers to move forward.
Sometimes… a little courage is enough for the next step.
