He is my colleague.
That day he came into the office
out of the rain. He was wet but I embraced him with an open heart and a warm
welcoming smile. My emotions were running high because, yesterday, I had read
an article on the universal Fatherhood of a loving God and the universal
Brotherhood of human beings. I attempted just to put that great ideal into
practice. I mean, I wanted to be a little human.
The effect was wonderful!
He also smiled and was grateful
for my gesture of love. We sat together for a while. Now, he opened up his box of
miseries (a common tendency among all to tell your woes when we are around
listening ears). And he told me that he was unwell and had caught a terrible
flu but he had to come to the office because the boss was relentless. And the
worst thing was that he had been also infected with conjunctivitis. I saw her
swollen red eyes and felt sad. I wished him sooner recovery from his ailments
and left him doing his office work.
Next day when I got up from bed I
had my eyes swollen and terribly red. And now the idea of universal brother-hood
and Fatherhood of God was really bringing uninterrupted tears to my eyes……..
