A man who had not learnt to control his thoughts, happened to come under a tree known as the “Wishing Tree” which granted all one’s desires. The man first thought that as he was tired it would be a good thing to have a cot to lie upon. He at once found a cot in front of him and lay down and stretched himself upon it. He next thought that if somebody massaged his tired limbs he would feel greatly refreshed. At once an attendant came and massaged his body. He then began to think of food and immediately he got all the dainties he desired. Thereupon as he was lying down in the midst of the forest, he became afraid lest a tiger should appear and devour him. Immediately a tiger appeared and devoured him. This is how one who cannot control his thoughts meets with destruction.
