________________ 2. Learn From These Also The Art of life Let the clouds of rain thunder and roar as much as they can. I love their thunder. I am wilingly prepared to hear them thunder and roar around me, beeause, after all, they bring rain. Those who do some service have the right to roar or even thunder. It is no sin. It is within their rights. But why are these other clouds thundering ? why are they blasting our ears ? You do not rain and yet you unnecessarily thunder. You roar, you thunder, but you do no service. This is a sin, a crime. And you small patch of clouds, you came quietly and rained here. You did not speak a word. You did not even inform us of your coming. You just came and filled the earth with water. You are indeed a blessed patch of clouds, you deserve all praise. You have known and mastered the art of life. The beauty of life lies in quietly rendering service to humanity. Whoever it is that serves humanity in this manner and spirit must be respected and praised. Such a man speaks through his actions. 147 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
