Carrying the 'Rocks' of Responsibility

A woman who is a teacher speaks of taking on complaints and requests from her students and their parents, which she calls 'rocks' of responsibility, which is a pretty full rucksack. She asks how to say 'not now' or 'no' to some. Rupert suggests he's not the best person to ask because he also has trouble saying 'no’. He tells a story from Ramana Maharshi to address the idea of the rucksack about a passenger on a train who refused to put down their luggage, not recognising that the train would carry them and the rucksack. He suggests that you can put down your rucksack; you will be carried. Enjoy the ride.
