We all have heard the story of the Fox and the sour grapes.
Is that Tyag or Renunciation? - giving up what you don't even have cannot be renouncing???
Or is it giving up action as result not as expected. Did the fox do his best? How did he decide they are sour without tasting?
Or was the Fox limiting himself that he cannot do it...did he ask God to help?
We can analyse any story or situation and that will probably make us critics. Or we can look for learnings.
1. Fox was probably being practical. And if he had to feed his kids found alternate food. THIS IS NOT RENOUNCING
2. Yes he should not have tagged them as sour without reason. DO NOT BE JUDGEMENTAL
3. And if you look at true nature, do Fox usually eat grapes? fruits is one of the many things they eat. Or was he just playing ?
Also remember the sour grapes story was written by a literate man/woman not the Fox. It is not the word from God.
