Art of Living and Loving
Till that day I was
living in a
different world
When I use to see
things, as per my
notions and whims
But one day a
teacher taught me a
lesson
Perhaps, the
teacher would not
have imagined
What a great thing
he was diffusing
To all those who
were listening
His lecture on
“Seeing Things from
the other one’s
Angle”
When I practiced
that teaching and
adopted
The new way of
seeing things in my
life
I found a great
change in my way of
living
The results were
astonishing and
beyond doubt
sprouting
And pleasure and
happiness began to
grow slowly in life
What a beautiful Art
of Living and Loving
That teacher told me
with a concluding
To practice his
methods, to test its
success
At least for few
days, in the
beginning
The most important
thing he asked me do
Was to practice
visualizing myself
in the other man’s
shoes
The day I started
thinking from that
angle
Imagining the place,
where the other one
was standing
I felt many of my
problems started
diminishing
And gradually I
began to have better
understanding
What a small thing
to practice and what
a gain, which
Gave a U turn to the
way of my living and
thinking
In harmony with
Nature, while
believing in God
And in our believes,
faiths and Loving
I thanked the
teacher for all his
teachings
And the practical
demo* he gave to
prove his teaching
On the Art of Living
and Loving
Although he was
trying to explain
“Seeing Things from
the
other one’s Angle”
only, but I found it
to be
An ‘Art of Living
and Loving’
