A LESSON FROM MEDICINE

>> 19 January 2008

Every doctor uses the stethoscope to analyze the sounds made in the living body. At the end of a course in medicine, the Professor asked the medical students, "What is the most important part of a stethoscope?" The students gave a variety of answers-the diaphragm, tube, earpieces, etc. Then he gave the correct answer- "The crucial part of a stethoscope is the space in between the two ear-pieces - that is, the brain of the Doctor!"

The sharpness of the doctor's brain determines the accuracy of the analysis and the reliability of the diagnosis.

We may use different tools for our sanctification-the churches, retreat centres, pilgrimages, conventions etc. But the most important component in transformation is - OURSELF.
