II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

ऐसी वाणी बोलिए, मन का आपा खोये I
औरन को शीतल करें, आपहुं शीतल होए II

The famous American actress Greta Garbo was very poor in her childhood. And she used to work in a barber shop lathering soap on people’s beards. She had never thought she would become such a great actress, a world famous actress. One day a movie director came to the barber shop to get a haircut and she lathered soap on his face. While she was lathering – he was a movie director – looking at her face in the mirror, just one word slipped out of his mouth, ”Beautiful... what a beautiful face.”
And this small statement became a revolution in Greta Garbo’s life. A girl getting two cents for lathering beards died the owner of millions of dollars – just this small statement. It was not said after thinking it over, it came out spontaneously. But Greta Garbo was reminded of her beauty. For the first time she looked at herself in the mirror with great deliberation. Daily she had stood in front of the mirror, but she just went on lathering people’s beards. She had never noticed. She had never thought that she was beautiful, or that she could be beautiful. The poor girl didn’t have the capacity even to think of it.
Greta Garbo asked, ”Really, you think I am beautiful?”
The movie director said, ”Not just beautiful, but one of the most beautiful women. And if you want I will prove it, because I am a movie director. I am making a movie. I can put you in it. You have a photogenic face, that will look so beautiful in the picture. I have been working with pictures my whole life.”
Greta Garbo ascended the skies. A small incident, an accidental word changed her whole life. Otherwise perhaps she would have died still lathering soap on people’s beards. 

"Kabir says, a small word can give rise to such ripples: can make a friend, can make an enemy; can give life beauty, can make it ugly."
