A millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain consulted
so many physicians and was getting his treatment done. He consumed heavy loads
of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections. But the ache persisted with
great vigor.
At last a monk who was supposed to be an expert in treating
such patients was called by the millionaire. The monk understood his problem
and said that for some time he should concentrate only on green colors and not
to fall his eyes on any other colors. The millionaire got 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.
When the monk came to visit him, the millionaire’s servants
ran with buckets of green paints and poured on him since he was in red dress,
lest their master not sees any other color and his eye ache would comeback. 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, trees, 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.
