Once upon a time, there was a millionaire landowner. His name was Jagarnath. He didn’t have any children but had enough money for four generations to spend their life with comfort. He had a luxurious house in which he used to live with a number of servants, recruited for specific works. He thought that he can do anything with his infinite amount of money and always spent huge amount of money for moulding conditions according to him.


One day, when he woke up from his sleep, he realised some pain in his eyes. He thought that it is a normal pain which will be fixed after few minutes or hours. When many days passed over and still his pain was present with more effect, he decided that he will get rid of it anyhow. He consulted many physicians and was being treated by several. Also, he did not stop consulting a galaxy of medical experts. He consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections. But the ach persisted with more vigour than before.


At last, a famous monk of the town was called who was supposed to be an expert in treating such patients. The monk understood the problem a

nd said, “I know a way to fix this problem.” Jagarnath became exited and said, “Tell me what is that. I am ready to spend any amount of money for this.” The monk told him that for some time, he should concentrate only on green colour and not let his eyes to fall on any other colour. It was a strange prescription but Jagarnath was compelled and decided to try it.


A group of painters was called and barrels of paints were purchased, spending a lot of money. The millionaire directed that every object his eyes are likely to fall should be painted green.

After few days, the monk visited him again to see his condition. He saw that the millionaire’s servants ran with buckets of green paint and poured on him since he was wearing a red dress, thinking that pain of their master’s eye would come back.

Watching this, the monk laughed and said,

‘’If only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles, worth just a few dollars, you could have saved these walls and furniture and also a large share of your fortune. There is no fault in the world full of different colours. The fault is in your vision.”
