Camel tied to invisible bond

Once upon a time, a group of people were going somewhere with a caravan of camel. In between the journey, it became dark night and the group decided to stay in tents till morning. Before going to sleep, the people started tying the camels with rope. However, one camel was left with no rope to tie him down. Everybody started discussing about how to get the rope.

One of the travelers saw a tent of a saint nearby. He suggested to everyone that they can ask the saint for the solution. Everyone agreed and they all went to the saint. The leader of the group introduced himself to the saint and explained the problem. The saint replied, "I am sorry, but even I do not have any rope to tie your camel. But I can give you an idea. The way you tied all other camels, you can also act of tying the last camel too without rope." The leader did the same. He encircled his neck and tied the knot (apparently of air) just like he did with other camels. Then he tied the camel (acting without any rope or you can say with an invisible rope!!) to the stick along-with other camels. The camel sat down as if he was chained with strong ropes.

The next morning, everybody started getting ready to move on in their journey. All the camels got ready but the camel (not tied to any physical rope) remained sitting. Everyone tried in their different ways to get the camel ready for the journey but he was unmoved. The leader again went to the saint and explained him of this new problem with the same camel. The saint replied, "Did you free him of the knot?" The leader became confused and said, "But I did not tie him with anything. I was just acting as per your suggestion." Hearing this, the saint explained, "In this world, the bonds are more mental than physical. Even human beings are tied with these invisible mental bonds of ignorance, which actually have no reality; but they consider them to be very strong unbreakable bonds. Go and just open the bonds of camel just like you tied him." The leader understood the suggestion and acted of opening the invisible rope that was tied around the camel. The camel instantly stood up.
