Some of the news which flashed in past few weeks made me to wonder, is there any sensitivity left with humans or only toothpastes have sensitivity? One poor villager had to carry corpse of his dead wife on his head for 12 km because hispital denied an ambulance, another poor man had to burn dead body of his wife in garbage because no one provided him wood, in Delhi one person was hit by a vehicle coming from behind and left him in the pool of blood, no one cared for him, one person came he stole his watch other came stole his mobile and just left, no one thought let me take him to hospital, he died. So many people are abused physically and mentally in the world. What to say of only people but so many animals are killed brutally everyday just to satisfy the tongue, what's wrong on their part? How insensitive we have become to other's need and only thinking selfishly.
Insensitivity is not at all a human's quality it's a quality of demons they take pleasure in troubling others. In fact animals are more sensitive, I just happened to see one video where one baby which was thrown in gutter by it's parents was protected by dog. Being sensitive means being sympathetic for others,their feeling, their conditions and respecting them. Our problem is, until and unless we go through the similar crisis we don't understand the pain of others in fact we take it lightly.
But our scriptures and saints has always taught us for being sensitive to others, May that be humans, animals, plants or any creature, they always felt the pain of others(par dukh dukhi), because they know that all are children of one God and if I displease them I will displease God,it's so simple philosophy. God is living in the heart of every living entity and if we hurt any one of them certainly He will be dissatisfied, which is not the aim of human life, aim of life is to satisfy the Lord by serving him and by serving his children. Just see the example of Arjuna, when he was told to fight, he started thinking what will happen to wife and kids of those who will be killed? What will happen to their parents, who will perform their sradhha ceremony? He was so concerned...This is the thinking and behaviour of gentleman, and not of the one who acts according to his own whims without bothering of others.
We must put the our feet in other's shoes to experience how much they are going through in life, that's empathy and not so easy. Sensitive person will always be concerned about others and always thinking how can he help them to come out of miserable life. Highest form of sensitivity is spiritual sensitivity in which devotee thinks how he can help people of this world to connect to the God and make them eternally happy. Only those who are connected to God and God given culture, they have this rare gift of sensitivity because God is the most sensitive person with the heart of millions of mothers. When one gets connected with God he didn't need to develop this quality separately but automatically emerges from the heart, so let's become devotee of Lord and become sensitive and compassionate to others!!!
