Deep Meditation Makes One Forgetful of Petty Things

Sir Isaac Newton used to be deeply occupied with study of the difficult problems. He used to be forgetful about the daily necessaries of his life. On one occasion he was very much engaged with some problems. During breakfast time, the housekeeper sent a maid-servant to boil him an egg in his study. The maid servant wanted to boil the egg, but Sir Isaac would not allow her to stay. So, she left the egg on the table by the side of his wrist watch. The egg was to be boiled only for three minutes. Sir Isaac instead of putting the egg on the sauce-pan, put the wrist watch unmindfully and was boiling it. The maid servant came and became surprised to see this incident.
