Human body is very important and invaluable in one s life. Eyes are the most precious amongst the different organs. One has to face in many difficulties in absence of eyes. Imagine the life one has to live without seeing the beauty of rising sun, deprived爋f enjoyment of observing the beauty of blooming flowers and even unable to see the face of his mother. Here one can truly realize Rajasthan proverb The wearer knows where the shoe pinches. It is well said that there can not be any kith and kin of a blind person except his intellectual eyes developed in him otherwise in absence of it he has to be fully dependent for every routine work upon others. No one can provide eyes to the blind but proper training can make them self-reliant and self- dependent.
