How to be stronger?

                                              How to be stronger?

Long ago, in a village there lived a wrestler. He was very powerful and stronger. He was winning all the competitions of wrestling he participates.
He had won the competitions held in other places too. But still he was unhappy. He wants to be more powerful.
That time, a saint came to his village. Villagers were talking that saint was having special powers. Wrestler heard that. He wanted to meet the saint and tell him his ambition.
Wrestler met the saint and urged him to grant him the powers so that he can be the strongest man . Saint replied negatively that he dont have such powers.
But wrestler went on pressurizing the saint. Finally , saint said " I will teach you some words to chant. But make sure that when you are chanting , the picture of monkey must not come to your mind ". 
Wrestler agreed.
After learning the words, he returned to his house . Finding a quiet place , he started to chant the words in his mind.
Just in a minute, the picture of monkey came to his mind. He stopped chanting and again tried . This time too , same thing.
Frustrated , he tried many times. But his effort was fruitless. Unhappy that he can not chant the words, he again went near saint.
He explained his problem. Saint smilingly said " Physically , you are much stronger. But , psychologically you are weak. You kept in your mind about my saying  regarding monkey. Thats why you can not concentrate. To be stronger, you should be strong psychologically too ."
