There was a king who was bothered by severe eye pain.
He consulted many physicians, consumed heavy loads of drugs and took hundreds of injections.
But the ache persisted with even greater vigour than before.
At last a monk was called who immediately diagnosed his problem and said, for sometime the king should only look at & concentrate on green colours and not let his eyes fall on any other colours.
The ministers got together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green color and directed that every object the king’s eye was likely to fall on, be painted in green colour, so that the king does’nt see any other colour just as the monk had directed.
When the monk came to visit him after a few days, the king’s servants ran with buckets of green paints and poured on him since the monk was in red dress, lest their master see any other colour and his eye ache comes back.
Hearing this the monk laughed & said “If only you had just got a pair of green spectacles, you could have saved these walls, trees and pots and all other articles from this unwarranted change.
You cannot paint the world green.”
Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly.
It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to carpet the whole earth.
It is foolish to shape the world, let us shape ourselves first.
Just change your vision & stay blessed forever!
