Beggers can be Teachers

March has just gone.
SO much hectic schedule & pile of work to be complete!!
Always in march when year ends,all the people starts working on & on.
That day on sunday I came to office for my pending year end work & for audit issue.
After seeting in the office for 5 hours,I decided to take break & to have some lunch.
After lunch,I went to nearby shop to have some cookies for my office staff.
There I saw one begger having paralys both the leg listning radio,but he was not into his own.I noticed there is something bothered him.
I decided to speak to him.I came close to him,& asked him “did anything bothers you?”
He just looked at me & told “No Sir I’m alright”.but I insist him about his condition.After that he told me having some hesitancy to open up.He told me “I’m a drunkered” I’m not getting sleep at night & I don’t know what to do?
I told him to stop drinking & feel happy.I also told him to go in a hospital where they will treat him.
For that he told me having smile on his face”Sir bahut bar gaya hu.Par wo log to sirf medicine dete hai aur 2 din ke baad chhod dete hai”Par daru pina band nahi hota.
i told him to go again to have a medicine.
For that He told me”Wo logo to medicine hi dete hai PAr man ka ilaaz nahi karate.”
Asli bimari to man me hai usaka kya?
At that instant I could not tell you how I feel.
I feel like He gave me such a wisdom of life!!!
I thank him & started moving to my office.
That day in the night I just recalled him in my mind & started thinking myself.
I’m a stammerer. I also learned techniqe like bouncing,prolognation,pausing .But what about my mind,my heart?
I did not even know what my mind wants?or what should I do to heal my mind?
That begger gave me a lesson.If you want to heal yourself,you have to heal your mind.

    Wonderful post Santosh !!

    So true ! Sometimes life teaches us lessons in any forms… What you said is bang on … It is necessary to cure the mind FIRST! This is something Sachin Sir had even said in one of his posts…. One should focus on curing of the Stuttering Mind-set, rather then curing the stuttering…
