This very short film for a minute taken with the belief that, the message has to be conveyed short and sharp, without boring the mind of the viewers, so that any message could be conveyed successfully.
In this story, a man who is visually impaired, came to the temple for worship, in his case to feel the positivity & spiritual vibrations prevails there.
But, unfortunately,he is being ignored by the “Guruji” in the temple, who did not show the “Holy Deep” to him & failed to consider him as a human being at all by his “inhuman behaviour”.
Here comes the essence of our film that, a man with a kind heart, tries to correct that inhuman Guruji for his act and helps the blind man to touch the “ Deep” shown to the God.(This scene depicts the rights of the disabled people and need for our kindness towards them)
“Touching the holy deep” is being considered as the most auspicious thing or purpose of worshiping the god, so the blind man was totally enjoying that moment…its like he has achieved something in his life!.. but of course its only a simple act of care shown by a common human being, which has given him an immense pleasure and joy for that moment & day.
Finally the story ends with the message that, this small human act itself giving those visually disabled people a day for happiness…just imagine if you donate your eyes, they will be happier throughout their lifetime…by seeing their god in the people who has gifted them their eyes.
Therefore, Let us be Kind , Donate our Eyes and bring happiness in other’s life after our life
