A young couple moved into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not very clean; she doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."
Her husband looked on, remaining silent.
Her husband looked on, remaining silent.
Every time her neighbor hung her wash to dry, the young woman made the same comments.
A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and told her husband: "Look, she's finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."
The husband replied, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life. The world doesn’t become green just because you view it with green glasses. The fault doesn’t lie with the world. Its your colored glasses that’s preventing you from seeing the reality and creates an illusory world. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. When the heart is pure and clean, what the eyes see is also pure and clean.
