Titles: No 'sales tax' yet on good thinking. (Chelvani) A 24-year-old boy was looking out of the train window and shouting… 'Dad, look at that tree going behind! Dad… look at that sun and clouds running with us!' A young man sitting in the opposite seat found the boy's behavior a bit strange, a bit crazy. The young man said to the boy's father, 'Why don't you take your son to a good doctor?' The boy's father laughed and said, 'We are coming from the hospital. My son was blind from birth. He got eyes only today.' A father's reply made the young man blush, 'Why didn't I think of a child like that?' Indeed we do not 'think' of thinking about the situation of others. Even before we know someone, we form an 'idea' or preconceived notion about him. All that is needed is a thought… a 'thought' that has compassion, empathy, feeling… yes… a thought! Think! Thoughts!…Eons ago the primitive man scratched his skull with his overgrown fingernails and thoughts erupted one after the other. A question that is born out of ignorance leads to a new idea and after an idea to progress. Ideas can be called the raw materials of scientists. A researcher named 'Max Planck' came up with the idea: 'Why is newborn iron red?' And the discovery of its metal began. A 16-year-old philosopher came up with the idea: 'What would a man see if he flew on a ray of light?' And he overturned the whole of physics. Your thoughts also depend on what kind of society and situation you are in. Interval Main Khayal Hoon Kissi Aur Ka, Muze Sochata Koi Aur Hai. (Salim Kausar) A man saw 3-4 elephants tied with a thin rope. Is it surprising to man that such powerful elephants are not chained but with a simple rope? Why are the elephants tied up when they can break and run away at any time? Pella asked the mahout of the elephants, 'Are the elephants tied with such a flimsy rope? He never tried to escape by breaking the rope?' The mahout said, 'No… when the baby elephants are small, we tie them with a flimsy rope. But as they grow older, they start thinking that they can never break the rope. So they don't even think of leaving if they try to run away.' said the Mahavat. Like those elephants, we all are often bound by the invisible ropes of many thoughts like, 'This will not happen to us', 'What will people think if we do this?', 'You have to think 100 times before doing something new', right? Because behind that fear is: 'a thought.' A cute little boy came into the restaurant. The waitress asked him, 'What should I give?' The boy asked, 'How much is ice cream with milkshake?' '50 Cent!' The naive boy took out coins from his pocket and counted them one by one on the table. Then scared and asked the waitress, 'Just how much is the ice cream?' The waitress thought, 'What's this Tabrio to tip?' So he told the boy, 'Ice cream is 35 cents… and that's all you can afford.' The boy counted the coins again and said, 'Even if you just give me ice cream.' The waitress served the ice cream. The boy ate the ice cream and left the bill on the table. Then the waitress noticed that the bill was 15 cents more than the money. He read what was written on the bill, '15 cents your tip, ma'am!' The waitress, speechless. What a great idea a small child can have for another person, because that child has wet wet naivety, unspoiled childhood. Thinking, thinking a lot, and creating something is painful, but there is also a strange pleasure in that pain. A state between orderly and disordered thought is where trance can sometimes be enjoyed. Chinese thinkers call such a state 'Li'. Every creator, thinker must have asked himself many questions… Only a man who is willing to 'red on the red' can discover the new. If you feel that there is a rhythm to the water dripping into your wash basin at home, consider yourself to have caught the idea. A child gets new ideas from the habit of asking questions. Often unintentionally one man can leave another thinking. 'Meri Jhansi Nahi Doongi' or 'Quit India'…were not just words, there were rebellious thoughts igniting the people that could shake a mighty empire. In short, the slogans…sutras…that make the people of the enemy country tremble or fight brothers in our own country…are all born of one thought: 'Sochoge to Samzoge!' At the beginning of creation there was no laboratory but 'solitude', the only laboratory. When there was nothing there was only thought. Thought was God. God created everything by thinking and now man creates or sometimes destroys everything by thinking. Behind development, destruction or rebellion is ultimately – 'an idea.'
End-Titles Adam: What do you think? Eve: Why didn't I think of you before?
