Wisdom from a Watchman

I had to leave home at 4 am this morning. I had asked a cab to come. There is a stray dog in our street by name MANI who pretends to protect our money from the thieves. It was barking to glory at the cab driver. We have a security in our apartment who looks after his own security. He was sleeping like Rip Van Winkle ( please read his story, every child’s dream to read it at least once in a life time ). Being an unqualified Anesthetist , I brought the watchman back to consciousness.I asked him β€œWhy you did not wake up and permit the cab driver inside the apartment?β€œ
Wisdom never sleeps ,even ,when your body rests ( did not mean β€œ the body being laid to rest 🀑).
I woke up and asked the watchman β€œ Do you mean that you will patronise anyone only if you knew who they are? Do you patronise your own self ?”
The watchman replied β€œ Yes. I do patronise my own self .”
I asked him β€œ Do you know your own self?”
He smiled egoistically and replied β€œ I do not know my own self .”.
I asked the watchman β€œ When you yourself do not know who you are, how can you ever know what others are?”
My question opened the gates to his evergreen corridors of introspection and I got drowned in this experience..
This post may be long . But bear with me and chew the cud.
Love you tons .
