“Until he extends his compassion to all living things,
man will not himself find peace”
The two blind men in the photo were thirsty and wanted to drink water at the RagiGudda temple, Bangalore. However, they were unable to operate the tap.
This mother monkey opened the tap for them, allowed them to drink water, drank some water herself and then closed the tap before leaving the scene. Not only did the monkey have brains to help the needy people but also close the tap after use thus avoiding water wastage (either of which humans fail to do most of the times).
This is the most wonderful story that I have read in a long time and to think that there are still people in this world who don’t believe in the ‘humanity’ of animals. And worse of all, there are still so-called educated people who exploit these animals in the name of experimentation.
But, animals, for the most part, seem far more advanced than humans. We human beings are so involved in all this caste/ creed system that we fail to understand the word HUMANITY. However, animals don't have any kind of caste system. Maybe some day we human beings will learn from them. And its high time that humans recognize animals as equal though different, intelligent and emotional and compassionate!
Rightly said...I feel that we are intelligent beings strictly on papers...animals are more intelligent than us and revere the nature unlike us who abuse it . Thank god that they are still there else world would have been an awful place to live in.
ReplyDeleteYes but we human beings do not like anybody superseding us. Hence we are making efforts to get this intelligent animal kingdom to an extinct state. What a shame.
