A recent incident illustrates the deep rootedness of the mind with concepts, blinding the individual from just seeing it as it is... In India, Tulsi plant is considered as sacred and is usually placed in front of the entrance or the backyard entrance.

The wife failed to take notice of the sudden deterioration in the health of the man until the daughter arrived in time to take the medical assistance most needed for the man. Its not that the wife was heartless, but just that ignorance virus named hate had spread all over her mind and she just could not even notice the seriousness. She did realize her foolishness how her ignorance had blinded her and didnot let her...
