This story was related to me by a person who had traveled widely. Once he was travelling in Gangtok in a bus with fellow tourists. When they were coming back from a visit in the bus, one of the passengers had a bout of nausea. So the bus stopped and the person got down to puke. When he finished, the passengers realised that there was no water left with anyone in the bus. There was no shop nearby and it was night time. Just then, a little girl, aged 8 or 9 walked through. There were a few houses nearby and she probably lived in one of them. One of the passengers asked her if she could fetch some water if her house is nearby. The response she gave reflected an outlook that is precious and pure. She asked, simply, 'Warm water or cold water?'.
After a few minutes, she was standing near the person who had vomited with a jug of warm water and a glass. He took around 10 minutes to compose himself and get back to the bus. She went back to her home.
In the Mall Road of Shimla, a couple of decades ago, a prominent personality went for a stroll. He lit a cigarette as he walked. After a few steps he casually discarded on the road and walked on. The security personnel, in charge also of enforcing the cleanliness rules, saw the littering done by this famous personality. As a typical Himachali would, he walked and caught up with the famous personality and told him humbly 'Sir, you have dropped something of yours behind.' The famous person spent a moment taking in the meaning of the statement, slowly walked back, picked up his dropped cigarette and dumped it in a dustbin. Both the security and the person went their separate ways.
James Allen, in his famous work 'As a man thinketh' says 'Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the soul which have been restored and brought to light in this age, none is more gladdening or fruitful of divine promise and confidence than this—that man is the master of thought, the moulder of character, and the maker and shaper of condition, environment, and destiny. Thought and character are one, and character can only manifest and discover itself through environment and circumstance'.
And events such as the above two, which bring together circumstance and character in a kaleidoscopic beauty, throwing light on beautiful values and their genial expressions, the human experience is momentarily lifted to a higher level of appreciation and awareness. Stories they may be or hearsay, yet they give the common mind something lofty to hold onto.
