An old farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early to read his Bhagavat Geeta. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.      One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagavat Geeta just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Bhagavat Geeta do?”     The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”     The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out (漏出) before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the same took place.     The old man said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough,” and he went out to watch the boy try again. The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. He said, “See Grandpa, it’s useless!” “So you think it is useless?” The old man said, “Look at the basket.”     The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and now clean, inside and outside.     “You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out.”
