A short and insightfull sutta... that encourages to keep in practice... so to become a kind of "River Ganges"

I liked this secction:

"Now suppose that a man were to drop a salt crystal into the River Ganges. What do you think? Would the water in the River Ganges become salty because of the salt crystal, and unfit to drink?"

"No, lord. Why is that? There being a great mass of water in the River Ganges, it would not become salty because of the salt crystal or unfit to drink."

Just great...

Thanks Aloka,
