How to handle a dacoit?
Long ago, near a village there was a dense forest. Villagers have to pass this forest to reach city. Nowadays in this forest a dacoit is seen roaming. He used to stop the passengers who are travelling by that path and threatening them. He was robbing all the valuables with them. People are fed up of him and they have complained to police too.
Meanwhile, the troubled people have come near Buddha to share their sorrow. They were explaining to Buddha about all this. Near Buddha, one of his follower named Arun was present. Even he listened to all those. After that, he asked for permission with Buddha. Surprised Buddha asked for reason. Then Arun told he will go to forest and he will change the mind of dacoit by explaining him the trouble faced by people by his deed . Buddha smiled.
He said dacoits wont listen to lectures. But also Arun insisted that he will go. Buddha warned him that the dacoit may abuse him. Arun said he will tolerate it. Then Buddha said dacoit may start beating him. Arun said he don't mind. Buddha again said dacoit may abuse you or he may beat you. Moreover he will not hesitate to take your life also. Its dangerous .
But Arun said he will not mind any of them. He wants to meet the dacoit and make him understand the problems faced by people because of him. Then Buddha said " If you are so determined, then you will not face any defeat in your effort. Before doing anything , we must be know of its consquences. Then success will be yours."

Great, absolute truthful statement of fact by great Bhagavan Buddha. Beware of the dangers and consequences of pursuing a rightful cause, earnestly make fullest attempt/effort and VijayaLakshmi will bless.
