village ?” To this Veljibapa asked them what they thought of the people of their own village . The family appreciated their fellow villagers heartily saying , “ The people of our village are very friendly and helpful . They support each other even in the highs and lows of life .” “ then why do you want to move if you alredy have such wonderful people living around you ?” asked Veljibapa . “ We need a bigger house , we found that we would require a lot more money to renovate our house , than to just buy a new house .” Veljibapa replied saying that Tarapur was also a village with kind hearted and understanding people . He told the family to move to his village and live happily .
After the family left , Veljibapa ' s friend questioned him saying , “ You are a p r e t t y c o n f u s i n g m a n ! Yo u discouraged the first family from moving to our village saying the people are not
cooperative , and are selfish and all , and to the second family you said that the people are kind hearted and understanding ! I don ' t understand you !”
“ The world appears as you see it . It is your vision that defines what comes forth to you . The first family members kept on finding faults in their villagers . They will do the same if they came to our village . Whereas , the second family said positive things about their own villagers . Thus they would find everyone kind and helpful in our village .” Said veljibapa kindly .
“ You truly are a wise man !” r e p l i e d h i s friend in awe .
