Listen to this story...

Once upon a time, there lived a great and kind king. But he had one weakness. The king was always shaking his legs. No matter how hard he tried, he could not stop it. The habit was deeply ingrained in him.

He went to see Buddha and sat in front of him. Here too, the king began to shake his leg. Buddha calmly looked at the king's legs. The moment Buddha's attention landed on the king's legs, they immediately stopped shaking. It was effortless.

The king asked the enlightened Master, ‘Oh Buddha!’ you've done the impossible and stopped my legs from shaking! Please teach me how to stop my mind.”

Buddha replied, “The same technique!”

What technique are you talking about Master?” inquired the king.

“A person cannot stop the mind. Watch your thoughts. Observe your thoughts fully, don't stop or interrupt them. Become a mere observer and the mind will settle down by itself. Bring your entire attention to the mind and watch it. You need to do nothing else. Everything in the mind will stop when you watch it. Nothing more is needed,” replied Buddha.
