OM NAMO NITYA MANOHARAYA NAMAHA🔗

BE AN OBSERVER OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS

One day a Master in an ashram, after his regular class, talking to his disciples told them, "Children, you learn theories and sciences during your class. But all that you understand here should be observed in the surroundings where you live. Observe how each item and object is playing its role. Add your intelligence to react spontaneously. Then only education will be useful."

Students heard every word carefully. Next day evening, Swamiji was taking class in front of his room under a tree. It was slowly becoming dark. There was no light in the room, therefore his room was dark.

Swamiji told them "Children! any one of you makes my room filled with something. Let me see who can do it quickly".

As soon as Swamiji completed his words, students ran to the garden and nearby hill to collect leaves, flowers and beautiful stones and decorated the room completely. One boy who was always calm and slow brought a burning candle and kept it on the lamp stand. Entire room was filled with light.

Swamiji and also all the boys appreciated the boy for his intelligent act. Swamiji said, "If you use some logic and reasoning you could have brought light, because it is dark and light is essential but not flowers and leaves". All the disciples learn a wonderful lesson.
