A millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain and irritation consulted so many doctors and was getting his treatment done. He consumed heavy dosages of drugs and injections . But the ache persisted with great vigor. One day, a monk who was supposed to be an expert in treating such patients , was called by the millionaire. The monk understood the problem and said that for sometime , the millionaire patient should concentrate only on green color and not to see any other color than the green.
The millionaire got a group of painters and purchased barrels of green color paint and directed that every object , his eyes were likely to see , to be painted green !!!.
When , one day, the monk came to visit the millionaire, , servants of millionaire, ran with buckets of green paint and poured on the monk!!!.. , since the monk was in red dress!!!!
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 your fortune!!! You can not paint the whole world green !!!”
Moral….Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly…It is foolish to shape the world . Let us shape ourselves first. Let us change our vision…. Think simple and live simple….
