Teaching Story - The Sculpture That Sculpted The Prince
by Life Positive
On his minister's advice he declared a big reward for anyone who
would cure his son. However, hakims and vaidyas coming from all corners of the world could not cure him. The king was deeply
disappointed. Around this time, an old woman approached the king and offered to cure his son. She asked the king to
install a statue of the prince right in the
middle of the courtyard of the palace
where the prince played every day. She
also demanded that the statue should be
a true replica of the prince except that
the statue should show the prince, as he would look, when he was totally rid of
the hunchback.
The king gave the necessary instructions. Once the statue was ready, while playing,
the prince would often look at the statue. In course of time, he started identifying
himself with the statue. His subconscious mind started registering and perceiving himself to be the person depicted in the statue, who could stand tall and erect without the hunch. In a year or so everyone started seeing improvement in the posture of the prince. The king was very happy. Another year followed and the prince had no trace of the hunch left.
