Passage 12

In English

Once a great scientist was going out in the hot sun. Finding a shady banyan tree nearby, he stopped to take rest for some time under the cool shade of the tree. While he was resting, he saw tiny fruits on the huge tree. A little distant away from it, he saw in a vegetable field a creeper on which large pumpkins were growing. He thought to himself that God does not know how to place things properly as on a big tree there are small fruits whereas on a thin slender creeper, there are large heavy pumpkins. He thought that God had no knowledge of mathematics and engineering. Soon he fell asleep as he was tired. While he was sleeping, some tiny fruits from the tree fell on his head. As he woke up, he realized, “Oh! God is so great; if there had been big fruits on this tree, they might have fallen on my head to cause injury”. He thanked God that in His wisdom, He had not placed big fruits on a big tree. God knows what is good for mankind. There is nothing wrong in His creation. If you think something is wrong, the mistake lies in your thinking.
