Trying

A guru advised his students to meditate three times a day. Most of his students watched him with some burdened ands most of their comments were almost identical: "I will try." The guru nodded wisely and while he walked back to his seat, he dropped the book he had under his arm and it fell to the floor. He turned around, bent over, reached for the book, but could not get it. Time after time he grabbed but could not get the book. His students looked at him in amazement. "You try to pick it up," he said to one of the students. The student walked to the book, bent over, picked up the book and handed it to his guru. The guru hit the book out of his hands, back to the ground and said: "I did not ask you to pick the book up, I only asked you to try.”.
