A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a
group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He
turned to his disciples smiled and asked.
'Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?'
Disciples thought for a while, one of them said because we lose
our calm, we shout.'
'But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to
you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner asked the
saint
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other
disciples.
Finally the saint explained,
Finally the saint explained,
'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance
a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other.
The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other
to cover that great distance.
What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at
each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very close. The distance
between them is either nonexistent or very small...'
The saint continued, ‘When they love each other even more, what
happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other
in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other
and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.'
He looked at his disciples and said.
'So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant, Do not
say words that distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the
distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.'
