A great sage was meditating in his kutir, while he was meditating he could hear something runnf the kuting from one part of the kutir to another. After coming out of meditation sage requested the being inside who was running during his meditation to appear. A mouse from one part of the kutir came out and greeted the sage. Sage seeing the mouse felt good and asked mouse the reason he was worried and running all around. Mouse answered that it was because of the fear of the cat and the Dog which was outside the kutir. Mouse wanted to go out but every time at the door it used to see the Cat and Dog so being afraid it ran here and there.
After analyzing for few minutes sage blessed the mouse and transformed it into a Lion and asked the transformed mouse, which was now Lion to go out saying that he was transformed into Lion and need not to be afraid of cat and dog anymore and on one condition that he will not do any harm to cat and dog and the mouse agreed. The mouse also have seen the cat being afraid of the dog and dog being afraid of Lion and obeyed the sage. The transformed mouse when stepped out of the kutir it again after seeing the cat and dog, being afraid ran inside the kutir. The incident repeated over and over. Now sage was worried and could not understand the situation. The sage asked the transformed mouse to go in front of the mirror and see itself. The transformed mouse when saw itself in the mirror seeing itself as in the form of Lion now he got confidence and could link up that cat is afraid of dog and dog of lion so he need not be be afraid of anyone. The transformed Lioon finally stepped out of the kutir in full confidence.
Point is: Outside appearance does not matter and even what other say does not matter about what you are, unless you realize on your own seeing inside you then you can change your little heart to a lion heart. Unless one acknowledge from inside, see inside in the form of mirror in the above story there is no value of only outside change.
