Once upon a time, two princes were studying in a gurukul. Both of them were intimate friends. One day their guru took them for a walk. All of them were enjoying the scenic beauty. Just then, the guru saw a mango tree. A boy was throwing stones at the tree for the mangoes, took the mangoes and went.


The guru asked the princes, “Did you see this?” “Yes, guruji” replied the princes. The guru asked, “What is your opinion of this incident?” The first prince replied, “Guruji, even a tree doesn’t give fruits without being hit and so does, a man. This incident points towards an important social reality that this world doesn’t agree to anything willingly. You only get work done by pressurising the system.”


The second prince replied, “Guruji, I think differently. The tree gives fruits even after being hit. It points towards a life lesson that even if someone offends you be kind towards him.” Guruji smiled and said, “Attitude is very important in life. Both of you had a very different perspective for the same incident because of the way you see life. A man interprets an incident as per his perspective and acts accordingly and even reaps fruits consequently. You can know a person’s nature by his attitude.”


The guruji said to the first prince, “You want to gain everything through power whereas your friend wants to attain it with love.”
