________________
procession was arranged. There was a programme of great feast. They invited us too. We were advancing in the procession, we passed by a house. Someone told us that the house belonged to his elder brother whose procession was going on. I asked him why he was telling me that thing. He told that elder brother was not there in the procession. He also told that they both inspite of being brothers did not speak to each-other. Oh! I thought, fifteen fasts! And such a jealousy in mind! How this programme would succeed?
I called the gentleman and asked him whether he would have invited his brother. He began pretending by telling that his elder son would have invited him etc. I proposed him to go to his house. He could not oppose it. We together with a few other people went to him and told him to attend the ceremony. He negated our invitation by telling that he had no contact with his brother. I told him that if a brother doesn't speak to his own brother then to whom will he speak? He argued that both of them did not attend the wedding ceremony of their sons and did not have any relation with them. They had no communication for the last 15-16 yrs. ago from the day when they stopped talking to each-other. He told us the date. I asked him to tell about the day of that date. He could not remember that particular day. I instructed him to bring a calendar from the home. He got surprised and began saying how it will be possible to bring so old calendar of 15-16 yrs ago. If it is not possible to arrange so old calendar then why he was carrying so old burden, I told him. We requested him, “Dear! We turn over the page of a calendar when a month is over and we turn over even the whole calendar when a year is over but what kind of we people are who are carrying and suffering from the matter of 16yrs. ago. They felt the reality and understood their mistake. We got them to eat a sugar candy piece and got them join the ceremonial procession.
