The Magic of Human Touch

About two months back,we (my elder  brother and I) visited Parli Vaidya Nath,one of the Jyotirlingams in Maharashtra.We approached a Muslim gentleman (vegetable- seller)  to purchase  some lemons .He told that he was selling lemons at the rate of  Rs 5 per 250 grams ,but he would charge us only four rupees . The rate was quite reasonable, as  in Delhi we purchase lemons at the rate of Rs 10 for 250 gms.

After having the lemons weighed , I felt that  I should pay him  at the normal rate, on which he was selling to others. So, I stretched my hand to pay him and asked him to  charge five rupees. He was so much impressed by my concern for him that he refused to charge anything . Then we  persuaded him to take the money.We felt so much warmth and love in him . This was the magic of human touch.

You can see the sparkling  hope and inspiration in his eyes, in the photo.
