Consider your body like a bus (a normal passenger bus) plying on a long route. The driver is our mind and the conductor is our heart. The bus starts from the terminal completely empty just like our body, which is the purest at birth. It moves on from one stop to another picking up passengers. Consider the passengers as nothing but thoughts. They are thoughts coming from different areas and backgrounds. Some of them may be calm, neutral or furious. Similar to passengers, the thoughts have a time period after which they reach their destination and go away. They all interact with the conductor (our heart). Now, it may be possible that the conductor gets friendly with some passengers. He gets involved with them just like our heart attaches itself to some thoughts. The bus moves on picking up more passengers. Due to the load of the passengers (stress from too many thoughts) the bus breaks down (diseases). It happens quite a few times but each time it is repaired by the mechanic (Doctor) and it moves on. As the bus moves on further and gets more crowded with passengers. The passengers get uneasy and start pushing each other resulting in a fight (conflicting thoughts). Imagine that the driver (mind) also gets involved in the argument…. he gets distracted so much that it finally results in an accident. Somehow the bus with a hurt driver (mind) and conductor (heart) manages to reach it’s terminal (death) where all passengers (thoughts) along with the driver and conductor get down.
What is the point in driving a passenger bus like that?
Why can’t we be a perfect driver, aware about our goal?
Why not drive a deluxe bus (happy life) with just two stops (birth and death) with limited passengers (thoughts) all of whom along with the driver (mind) and conductor (heart) are heading in one and only direction of self-realization.

It’s up to your living style…If one chooses simple life, it’s gonna be with few passengers. If one chooses luxurious life…then you have to take more passengers in your bus
