Young Siddhartha’s Compassion :)

1 min read
Recently, I asked my son, Siddhartha, to miss school so he could learn how to make a lake. :)

We headed to the farm in our village.

We had to walk a lot to the fields and back.

On one such walk, Siddhartha saw a farm worker, about to carry three pipes all alone.

He asked me to ask the labourer, if he needed any help. I told Siddhartha to check himself.

So he quietly walked up to the man, lifted one end of the pipes, placed it on his head and walked all the way to where it was to be unloaded. (A little less than a kilometers maybe)

Every morning we have tender coconuts delivered home, which he opens and serves.

This morning, he did this:)

Now that's some unity of hand (skill with a knife), head (planning) and heart (calm and steady) -- just takes my breath away. I can make an imperfect hole in a coconut to get the elaneer out, but precision with an aruvaal and carving hearts -- that is not in my skill-set at all. I have to learn from your son :) Thank you for sharing and love to this gentle soul
