How big our heart is!

Do you remember the first scene of the movie "Mera Naam Joker" (Superstar Raj Kapoor's one of the best). The film starts with a stage show in which a doctor (veteran actor Om Prakash) lifts the unwilling patient (the Joker - Raj Kapoor) to the operation table for a heart surgery. Following is the dialogue exchange between the patient and doctor -

patient:- Why I am being operated. I am completely allright. Perfectly healthy.
doctor:- No no, u have serious problem at ur "dil" (heart).
patient:- what problem?
doctor:- Your "dil" (heart) is 'big' - not fitting to this 'small' society.
patient:- But then, why to operate my heart, why not operate the society!!!

But as u know the doctor does not oblidge... takes out that big red heart from the joker...
and the joker dances holding his heart with the song "Jeena yahan marna yahan" (life is here and death is here), and the heart drops on the floor from a height and breaks into number of pieces... and the story unfolds.

The important inference is, we all need to be big-hearted joker patient. And if we find narrow mindedness in the surrounding meddling in our pursuit, then we need not change ourselves, rather we should try at our level best to change the society in the desired way. Now, the important question is 'what that big heart is?'. To me having a big heart is to love our fellow human beings irrespective of the 'birth bondage' or any 'economic-politico-circumstantial barriers'. If we are not able to do that, we need to change from within and to work towards making our heart 'big' to accomadate everybody.
