On healing


On the need for healing

Once Chotu accompanied his father AnandRam to the market place. He was carrying a small bag which he wished to fill with his booty of chocolates and eatables that fascinated him in the bazaar. He saw his father pick up stones and thorns now and then from the path and put them on the side of the road. After sometime, he asked his father “papa, why are you picking up stones and thorns from the path? For whom are you clearing the path?”. His father smiled and said “I am clearing the path for us. When we are returning from the market place, with less stones and thorns in the path, we would be able to go back home early and also with less pain in the legs. Carrying the weight of our purchases would also be less painful with a smooth path under our feet.” Our dear Chotu also joined his father in clearing the path as they walked to the market place.

Little Chotu understood it so effortlessly. But, what about us?
