A millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain consulted so many physicians and was getting his treatment done. He consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent many injections. But the ache persisted with great vigor.
At last a monk who was supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called by the millionaire. The monk understood his problem and said for sometime he should concentrate only on green colour and not to fall his eyes on any other colours.
The millionaire got a group of painters and purchased barrels of green colour and directed that every object his eyes was likely to fall to be painted in green colour. When the monk came to visit him, the millionaire’s servants ran with bucket of green paint and poured on him since he was in red dress,
let their master not sees any other colour and his eye ache would come back. The monk laughed and said “If only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles, worth just a few rupees,
you could have saved all these walls, trees, pots and all other articles and also could have saved a large share of his fortune. You cannot paint the world green.”
Moral :
