NLP through stories – story 10
Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar was a great Bengali scholar.
Once he went
to see a drama.
In the play the hero unbearably tortures the heroine.
Vidayasagar witnessing this could not tolerate and jumped on the stage and
started beating the hero with his chappal.

The whole audience was shocked and paralysed by the behavior of this
eminent scholar Iswara Chandra Vidyasagr.
eminent scholar Iswara Chandra Vidyasagr.
The actor playing hero’s role hugged the chappal & fell at the feet
of Vidyasagar.
Then the actor spoke,
“ I have received many awards & prizes for my acting.
Now in my opinion
none of them is so precious as this chappal.
This chappal would ever remain a
memento;
this memento will keep reminding me that
a great scholar like Iswara
Chandra Vidyasagar
got very impressed with my acting and
took it as real life character.”

In fact the actor felt excited and Vidyasagar felt embarrassed
by his irresistible behavior.
by his irresistible behavior.
For Vidyasagar in his involvement
he could not differentiate drama & real life.
In his perception it was real
at that moment. That means his
perception as true characters in real life becomes his reality and so irresistibly
he beats the hero.
Like this experience of VIdyasagar, our mind cannot differentiate between real
& imagination in an ‘uptime ’ (involved state) and perceived reality
becomes real reality.
NLP says in fact we deal only with perceived reality; perception becomes
reality.
There is nothing 100% objective in this manifested world;
every experience is
mixed with subjective element to a very
lesser or greater degree.

The hero here did not take it
offensive when Vidyasagar beat him with chappal; but rather saw this as a compliment;
he saw the action of Vidyasagar from an empowering angle.
In fact hero gave a new meaning to the behavior of
Vidyasagar and felt it welcome.

This way of shifting perspective
and giving new meaning to the behavior in order to move away from
unresourcefulness to resourcefulness is called MEANING REFRAMING in NLP
