Different heads have different thoughts, but the truth is one. Here is a small story to illustrate it. Once four students visited a temple. Seeing the idol of in the temple, they started discussing what the idol was made of. One student said that it was made of white marble. The second student differed from him and said, “No, it is made of red stone.” The third student gave the verdict that it was not red stone but blue stone which is very rare. The fourth student commented, “It is neither white nor red nor blue. The idol is made of green stone.” Each one started arguing to prove his point of view as it is common with modern students to indulge in argumentation. When their arguments became loud, the priest of the temple came there and asked the students not to disturb the peace of the temple by making noise. One of the students then asked the priest, “, what is the colour of the idol in the temple?” The priest replied, “The colour of the idol is black. I worship it, do (ceremonial bath) and offer to it daily.” But the students were not convinced and started arguing with the priest also. The priest then took them to sanctum sanctorum and removed the glasses they were wearing to enable them to see the actual colour of the idol. Then only could they realise the truth that the colour of the idol was indeed black. Similarly, man sees the world with his distorted vision. Naturally, he cannot perceive the truth.
