Let's break the barriers of our own little worlds

We tend to fatten in our bodies. But that's no real danger. When, along with our bodies, we also fatten in the skull, that's where the real danger is posed. We always think ourselves as per our religion but never as Indians. AS MOST frogs do, this frog of ours too lives in a well. It has lived here for a long time. It was born and brought up here, and yet was a little, small frog. Of course, the evolutionists were not there to tell us whether the frog lost its eyes or not, but for our story’s sake, we must take it for granted that it had eyes, and that everyday it cleaned the water of all the worms and bacilli that lived in it with such zestful energy, that it would give our modern bacteriologists a run for their money to do the same. In this way it went on and the frog fattened both in the body and the skull.
Well, one day another frog that lived in the sea, came and fell into the well. ’Where you come from?’
‘I am from the sea’.
“The sea? How big is that? Is it as big as my well?” and he took a leap from one side of the well to the other. My friend,’ says the frog of the sea, “How do you compare the sea with your little well?”
Then the frog took another leap and asked, “Is your sea so big?”
“What nonsense you speak to compare the sea with your well”, said the sea frog.
Well, then, said the frog of the well, “Nothing can be bigger than my well; there is nothing bigger than this; this fellow is a liar, so turn him out.”
This has been the difficulty all the while.
I am a Hindu. I am sitting in my own little well, and thinking that the world is my well, and croak, “Turn him out”. The Christian sits in his own little well and thinks it to be the whole world. “Turn him out”. The Mohammedan sits in his own well and thinks the same. “Turn him out”.
We all talk of the aspects that are the characteristics of goodness in Man, for example, love Love; hate Hate; espouse Spouse; give Forgive and the likes, to advance our understanding and concern for furthering the cause of mankind. I wonder how many amongst us, stop for a while to give a thought to the word as to why our whole wide world is called the Universe...
