Dirty is when we look through a dirty glass

Dirty is when we look through a dirty glass

Translated   from Tamil  By

(From quotes in Tamil by  Sri  Narayana Swami Krishna Swami, My face book friend.)

A newly married   couple  went to a new home,

The wife told her darling   husband ,

“I cannot tolerate    dirt at any time,

And would get angry   and shout “

The new husband  said , “yes darling “

Next to their home  lived  a   simple lady,

Who used to wash   their cloths in traditional way ,

By  applying washing soap   and beating it on the stone.

The wife   one day   saw  it  through  her glass  window,

And told her  husband, “I am feeling angry , because that   lady  ,

Is  washing her cloths , with dirt  still remaining on them.”

The husband   replied , “Yes darling, I see your point”

This went on daily    for a  very long time  and one day,

The wife saw that  the neighboring house lady,

Had washed   her cloths  so neatly that they were  sparkling.,

And she told her darling  husband , “Some body  must havem

Taught  that inefficient woman how   wash cloths , at last?”

The husband told “NO darling , I cleaned our  windows.

Many of the faults   we find may be due to our fault.”
