Proper Discrimination!

"A Guru was travelling with his sishya (disciple) in a bullock-cart. He needed to rest, so he instructed his disciple to watch the things in the cart and see if anything fell out, and went to sleep. After some time, the road became bumpy and some items fell off. The disciple obeying his guru's instructions, 'watched' what fell out by staring at them until they were out of sight!

"When the Guru woke up, he saw the pale face of the disciple. The Guru asked what had happened. The disciple faithfully related the incident. The Guru patiently explained to the sishya that if anything fell out of the cart, he must stop, pick it up and throw it back in the cart!

"The Guru went to sleep again. Shortly afterwards one of the bulls relieved itself. The disciple, executing his guru's words to the letter, collected the dung and threw it in the cart. It landed on the Guru's face, who woke up and realising his disciple's foolishness, became angry. He decided to write down on a paper all the things that were to be collected if they fell off.

"The journey continued. After sometime on a sharp bend, the guru himself was thrown out of the cart. The disciple got alarmed. He didn't know what to do.. He checked the list, and not finding the Guru's name on it.he left him lying down and proceeded on the journey!"
