- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- There was a man who was so disturbed by the sight of his own shadow and so displeased with his own footsteps, that he determined to get rid of both.
- The method he hit upon was to run away from them. So he got up and ran.
- But every time he put his foot down there was another step, while his shadow kept up with him without the slightest difficulty.
- He attributed his failure to the fact that he was not running fast enough. So he ran faster and faster, without stopping, until he finally dropped dead.
- He failed to realise that if he merely stepped into the shade, his shadow would vanish, and if he sat down and stayed still, there would be no more footsteps.
