A group of fishermen were fishing. A kite swooped down and snatched a fish and soared higher in the vast expanse of the sky unaware of the ensuing trouble. A group of crows in thousands took flight chasing the kite, rather the fish.

The kite winged its way in almost all directions to elude the crows. The crows in turn followed the kite tirelessly. The kite grew weary of the continuous flight in fright and ultimately resorted to unclutch the fish from its claws. The crows flew after the dropping fish as the kite perched in peace in the branch of a tree. It thought as it breathed a sigh, "The wretched fish is the root cause of all my troubles. Now that I have got rid of it and I am at peace"

Anxiety, restlessness and worry pursue a man who is bound by desires. Peace percolates in his heart, as soon as he renounces his desires with the withering of his actions that go along with his wants.
