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...

Great post Santosh. You r right. Beggars cant be choosers- but they certainly can be teachers!
