There once lived a wealthy man whowas bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted many physicians, but none could treat his ache. He went through a myriad of treatmentprocedures but his pain persisted. He looked for every available solution, andapproached a wise monk who is renowned for treating illnesses. The monkcarefully observed the man’s eyes and offered a very peculiar solution.
The monk told the man to concentrateonly on green color for a few weeks and avoid any other colors. The man wasdesperate to get rid of the pain and was ready to go to any extent. The wealthyman appointed a group of painters to paint everything green.
After a few weeks the monk came tovisit the man to follow up on the man’s progress. As the monk walked towardsthe man’s room, the appointed painter poured a bucket of green paint on themonk. The monk could see that the wholecorridor and the room was painted green. As the monk inquired for the reasonfor painting everything green, the wealthy man said that he was only followingthe monk’s advice to look at only green.
Hearing this, the monk laughed andsaid “If only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles, you could havesaved a large share of your fortune. You cannot paint the world green.”
Moral: Change your vision and theworld will be changed.
