ਅਸੂਲ #੩

**Learn to step into someone else’s shoes and feel what they go through**

Yudhishter was a guy who lived a long time ago in India, he was a part of the pandav faction who fought the famous battle of mahabharat at Kurkshater against Daryodhan and his karaovs.

Yudhishter was a really good virtuous person with a clean heart. He never hurt anyone, lived an honest life. When someone needed help he was always there for them.

Daryodhan on the other hand was really evil. He always complained about things, never wanted to get anything done and cheated all the time. They say his real name was Suryodhan, but because of his bad deeds everyone called him Daryodhan.

One day Krishan decided to teach both of them a lesson. He called both of them early in the morning and told Youdhishter to find one evil person in the city before dusk. Daryodhan was asked to find one good person in the whole town before night set in.

Youdhishter went around looking for someone who he thought was evil. He asked around, interviewed people but still could not find anyone who he thought was evil. Through his eyes he saw everyone as good, because he wasn’t evil himself. When he looked at someone he couldn’t find anything evil about them. Exhausted, and tired of walking around all day the sun set and he ended up at Krishans door. Krishan asked him to sit down.

Daryodhan like Youdhishter searched all over the city for someone who seemed had goodness in them. Everyone he looked at seemed to reflect what he was. He saw everyone as cheats and liars. Even when people told him of good people he still doubted them and refused to believe they were any good.

Daryodhan too came back empty handed.

Krishan asked both of them why they took a full day and still didn’t find even one person as they were asked to. After hearing what they had to say. Krishan told them both to be more critical of people and judge people for what they are and not how you normally see them.

This can be apple to everything in life. The gurus taught us this. Guru Nanak Dev Jee told Baabar he was a jabber(tyrant) because he didn’t seem to see and feel life from the peoples perspective. Once he saw the suffering and what his people were going through he became a just ruler.

People like Kauda Rakash who used to eat people alive turned into a proper man and actually started to preach religion once he knew what he was doing was wrong.

The thug, Sajjan used to give shelter then loot and kill people at night. He became a true friend of the people once he learnt what people went though because of him.

When people forget how others feel, things go wrong.

If everyone kept this in mind:
Everyone would go to sleep with a full stomach.
Governments would actually be more responsible.
There would be no war.
All forms of cruelty would end.
No one would suffer.
People wouldn’t be rude.
There wouldn’t be a need for the army or police
And yes! People would actually be better drivers.
