Beleive in Action
We promise so many things, but hardly translate them in to action . The ratio between our thoughts/promises and action is quite huge. And we don’t care. Recently, I was travelling from Bhopal to New Delhi by night train alone. I got the side upper berth . There were 2 ladies might be sisters age about 60’s or 70’s they got their berth in a row upper & middle . Both of them were old age and quite bulky body the upper birth was inconvenient for them. They tried hard for a change on the other side of lower berth , there was a gentleman , a senior citizen , with gray hair and beard , so, they could not dare to ask him for any favour. On the adjacent lower birth they found a a healthy middle aged person in a police uniform. One of the lady requested him politely for exchange of berth. But all in vain. He kept silent with no emotion on his face. At last one lady was struggling hard to occupy her upper berth when suddenly they heard a voice “Mrs. I can not see you on the upper berth. Please take my Berth I am going to occupy the upper one”. That was the old gentleman , glowing with the gesture of sacrifice. I saw the stout gentleman in khaki sitting pretty on lower berth. What a contrast of human nature and behavior. They thanked a lot to the gentleman who offered his lower berth to them. They all enjoyed the night journey. Next morning we all got up and finished our morning routine . Slowly , train was moving towards New Delhi Station I noticed the gentleman on the lower berth in khaki was loudly chanting “Hanuman Chaalisa” verses in the praise of Lord Hanuman. Perhaps he forgot to realize that Lord Hanuman was had very high respect and regards forSitaji the symbol of Indian womanhood. No need to be in dilemma whom to call the real devotee of Hanumanji the person who chanted the Hanuman Chalisavery loudly or the person without any such chanting but having great honour and respect for a lady through his activities .

We have to open our eyes and see the realities than chanting Mantras.

DeleteThere are so many people around us like that gentleman (?) in khaki! In fact, they are more in number. Still, we find the world a nice place because of persons like that old man... :-)
