061-------------------When I was a student,I
heard my teacher in Sanskrit reciting a (sloka) hymn .It was so effective and
powerful that its impact has been seen and observed by me throughout the days
spent till date.Though exactly the words recited are still beyond my memory but
I am trying to find them out for bringing out before .The meaning was,'' There
was a shepherd,he went to forest along with 50 sheep for grazing .After he was
tired,he sat on the mound ,suddenly his eyes caught some thing shining.He felt
that it was a shining stone.He took his stick and started digging and making
the strokes on it .It was broken and many pieces fell hither to thither,but of
no use to the shepherd.Out of curiosity,he took one piece and through the hole
he(pierced ) took the string and let it hung around the neck of the very old
and diseased sheep.Suddenly,A jeweler was going that way ,he found that it was
a diamond around the neck of the sheep,he wanted to buy it.After the discussion
was over,the shepherd felt that it was the right time for him to sell his old
sheep.He demanded 10 paisa for that.Willingly the Jeweler paid and snatched the
diamond."After it was witnessed by the shepherd ,he laughed that he took
his sheep with himself and for a stone he got so much money. --------At this
the diamond shed its tears and spoke,'' Alright,That shepherd was a fool and he
did not know what did he do ?but the jeweler underestimated me and it was a
matter of sorrow to me.This was a very striking story that gives this
message-----------------------------------------?The people at large do not
take interest in others.It is their nature.Even if they see the shining
star emerging ,the pushing forces work and make it difficult to emerge.Most of
the talents go unhunted. Hence,one has to learn from the flowing water which
makes it own way and whenever obstacles and hindrances come,it waits to
overcome otherwise it makes a way.So is the case with ourselves,If none sees
talents in us and help provide a platform to grow,everyone is to shine
like a diamond------------------.
