loudly and heavily for you. Ahhh...O...o...Ha..Ha...and you
arrived in the city..now you are just some kilometres away…! O,
Merchant! You are very fortunate and prosperous! No, no, you
are just 30 kilometres far...even the king of this city has got the
news of your arrival...And even he has done a warm and
honourable welcome…!”
The singer brought the merchant right at the street's
corner in the imagina ve song.
“Oh! Now the king himself is welcoming the merchant!
The whole city has overflowed here to look at the merchant's
richness and splendour... Wow! Merchant! Wow! How do I sing
your glory? O, great man! You are on the corner of the
street..A...a…!”
On listening to this, the mistress standing on the fi h
storeyed terrace ran and rushed ahead to meet the merchant!
The mistress slipped in the extrovert outlook of the sense of
ears! The mistress was running ahead in the terrace…!
The flow and sensa on of the poem had reached to
climax…”Oh...oh! Now you've arrived at your castle's gate.”
The merchant lady thought ‘Oh! Has the merchant
come? I'm coming to welcome him…’ Thinking so, she ran
ahead. The terrace was open… On running ahead, the mistress
finally fell down…! A loud thud! was heard as she crashed on
the ground! Everyone in the street got awake...the singer got to
know, "My wish has been fulfilled." So he immediately fled
away! The mistress experienced a painful death!
This is the bi er result of extrovert outlook! One should
think that there are endless things in the world to be seen. But
by eagerly and curiously watching all those things, what
beneficial crux do we get in it? Nothing. Extrovert outlook is
fu le. So turn your vision inside.
