humanity."

During the course of a Management Seminar, Mr. T.N.Seshan, former Chief
Election Commissioner shared an experience he had while travelling in Uttar
Pradesh with his wife. As they were travelling by road, they saw a large mango
plantation filled with sparrow nests. Seshan's wife decided to carry two nests
to their home.The police escort called a young boy who was grazing cows and
asked him to bring down two nests and offered to pay him Ten Rupees. The boy
refused as Seshan raised the offer to Rupees Fifty. The boy told Seshan and his
wife, “Sahib, I will not do it for whatever you will give. Inside these nests
are baby sparrows. If I give those nests to you, in the evening, when the
mother sparrow returns with food for the babies and does not find them there,
she will cry. I do not have the heart to see that.”Seshan and his wife were
taken aback and felt small. Seshan later recounted that his position and the
IAS label melted away in front of that little boy. He stood in front of the
young boy feeling as small as a mustard seed. He added that after returning
home, this incident continued to haunt him with guilt for several
days.Education, position or social status is never a yardstick for the measure
of humanity. Let’s not forget that knowledge is to know and understand the
beauty of nature. We don't achieve anything by gathering a lot of information
as long as that information does not get transformed into wisdom. And wisdom is
useless as long as we don’t apply it in our daily life.Co-existence is the
essence of Life.
