Let us shape ourselves first
There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted so
many physicians and was getting his treatment done. He did not stop consulting
galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent
hundreds of injections.
But the ache persisted with great vigor than before. At last a monk who was
supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the
millionaire. The monk understood his problem and said that for sometime he
should concentrate only on green colors and not to fall his eyes on any other
colors. The
millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green
color and directed that every object his eye was likely to fall to be painted
in green color just as the monk had directed.
When the monk came to visit him after few days, the millionaire's servants ran
with buckets of green paints and poured on him since he was in red dress, lest
their master not see any other color and his eye ache would come back.
Hearing this the monk laughed and said "If only you had purchased a pair of
green spectacles, worth just a few rupees, you could have saved these walls and
trees and pots and all other articles and also could have saved a
large share of his fortune. You cannot paint the world green!"
Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly. It is foolish
to shape the world, let us shape ourselves first.
Let’s change our vision first..!!
