003---------------------------------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------through his own efforts ------------Godfather or beacon
is luckily destined to only a few.
