ILLUSION

One day when I peeped out from my window and saw that many people with a plate that was covered with a colourful cloth, were going towards a banyan tree, its branches were spreading over a wall of building. Hence I was perplexed to see the scene and thought that the tree must have had all virtues that’s why it is being worshipped.

Moreover at noon time I saw the area was crowded because they must have taken cooling effect under it. Few people were plucking its leaves and branches that must have been used for medical treatment. Thus I thought that a tree is more useful then I should also go to worship it .Therefore the very next day I also went to the tree with a plate in my hand to worship the tree. As soon as I reached near by the tree, I saw that many people were worshiping and I also tried to emulate that was being done. After that I sat for few hours under the tree and it was nice to have cooling effect under it then suddenly and I was shocked to have a glance of its roots and wide cracks on the wall. I thought that due to its roots must have gone into depth of building that’s why the wall is looking cracked.

Furthermore I came back to home with depressing mood and thought in spite of having all the virtues its roots can be dangerous because due to its roots the wall might be fall down.

Hence I thought that a person also has some good qualities as well as some bad qualities then why don’t we comfortable with his/her bad habits and qualities and despite of having all good why we give up a person because of his/her bad habits and qualities.

I came to know nothing is in the world that has all good qualities in it and it’s depending on our illusion how we handle and accept a thing or person.

If we don’t focus its bad quality and find the good qualities they have then it can’t be harmful us.

I came to know that we can lead a happy life to change our illusion.
