There was a gifted painter who wanted to paint a masterpiece depicting the most beautiful thing in the world.He met many people seeking their verdict on the most beautiful object on earth, to select the subject of his painting.
First, he consulted a senior priest who suggested ‘FAITH’ as the best theme. Next, he met a recently married young lady. She suggested the subject, ‘LOVE’. Finally he met a weary soldier, returning from a battle-field. The soldier said that war was a curse and what man needs is peace. He recommended ‘PEACE’ as the most beautiful thing in the world.
The painter now had three different options. As a further selection was difficult, he decided to combine the three themes in one single painting. But he did not know where he could find such a combination of three beautiful objects. He returned home and there, he could find the perfect blend of the three beauties. He saw ‘faith’ in his wife who came to him with an innocent smile to meet him and greet him. He found true ‘love’ in his loving and lovely children, who ran to him and embraced him. When the virtues – ‘faith’ and ‘love’ filled his home, he could witness the perfect ‘peace’ prevailing there. Much delighted and enlightened by his discovery, he painted his masterpiece, based on his own family, depicting the most beautiful things in the world and labeled it, ‘HOME’.
