As told by: Amrit Lal Vohra These pictures are of homeless veteran Jim Wolf. Swami Vivekananda once told that if you want to implant something good in children, it should be through the medium of small stories. The story is THIS IS HOW YOU SEE ME. An artist in his London studio looked down from his window at a homeless man who was curled up, lying in the street near the curb. The artist took out his sketchbook and began to draw the man. But what he drew became something totally different from what he saw. Gone was the wrinkled brow. No longer was the man curled up on the street. Instead, the artist showed him standing tall with his shoulders squared. The moment he finished the pencil drawing, the artist rushed down to the street and told the man, “Look, I’ve drawn your picture!” The poor man couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “Sir,” he said as he rolled to one side, “is that how you see me?” “Yes it is. Just like this picture”. Then he said, “Here, you can have it”. The man rose to his feet and said, “If that’s how you see me that am the way I’m going to be.” Holding the picture in both his hands, standing straight and tall, he said, “Mister, I’m never going to return to this gutter again.” Moral: Just as God has granted you the power to live, he has given you the power to change.
