Change our Vision

There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe pain in his eyes. He consulted several physicians and a galaxy of medical experts, consumed heavy loads of drugs and hundreds of injections.

His pain persisted, in fact increased. At last a monk who was supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called. The monk understood his problem and said that for some time he should only concentrate on green colours and not to let his eyes fall on any other colour.

The millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green colour and directed that every object that his eye was likely to fall to be painted in green 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 paint and poured on him since he was in a red dress.

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 fortune.”

You cannot paint the world green. Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly.
