A wise man was visiting the Ganges, a river which flows through northern India, to take a bath. He found a group of family members on the
26 , shouting angrily at each other. He___
27 his disciples(弟子), smiled and asked, “Why do people shout in
28 at each other ?” The disciples
29 for a while and one of them said, “ Because we
30__ our calm, we shout.” “But, why should you shout
31 the other person is just next to you ? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a(n)
32 manner,” asked the wise man. Some disciples gave some other answers, but none
33 the other disciples. Finally the wise man explained, “When two people are angry at each other, there is a distance between their
___34 . To cover that distance they must shout to be able to
35 each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to __
36 that great distance. What
37__ when two people fall in love ? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very
38 . The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small.”
The wise man
39 , “When they love each other even more, they do not __
40 , but only whisper and they get even closer to each other. Finally they
41 need not whisper. They only look at each other and that’s
42 . That’s how close people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his disciples and said, “So, when you
43 , do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more.
44 there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to
45 . You may end up becoming enemies, for instance.”
