Relationship

Quite a good example on relationship search:

There was a gurukul and the guru was taking a lesson for the day. Suddenly the guru called a student and said "Son, Go to the nearby garden, from one end to other. You will find a lot of coconut trees. Find the tallest coconut tree in the garden and let me know. But you should not turn back the way you came in, to get back to an earlier coconut tree. Once when you believe that, it is the tallest tree then you can come and inform me". As said the student went from one end to other of the garden to find out the tallest tree. As and when he finds a tall coconut tree, he thought why dont we try more and see if I find any other tree taller than this. On and on the student reached the end of the garden finally to end up with nothing. He returned to the guru and said I lost all the tall trees I had seen in the midway since I thought of trying out more.

Now, again the guru asked the student to do the same exercise with the same rules. This time the student (with prior experience), on spotting a tall tree didnt even want to take another chance, but quickly came to the guru and said he did find one in the middle of the garden.

Then the guru explained said "Son. The first time you had gone for a search for the tallest coconut tree can be compared to Search for love and the second was your Search for marriage".
