The painting beautifully show the eternal effort of the monks to keep walking in the face of all difficulty, with the solitary umbrella offering shade and relief to but one or two at any agreed time. The monks are in the optimistic shades of ochre depicting fire, sun, life, energy. On a macro step then, the painting inspires us not to offer up in the face of challenges. The colors give out hope and cheer, mocking at the grey basics of dismay, pessimism, and negativity. Clearly suggestive of that life is a wonderful journey, no doubt, along a rough road, where one has to keep walking with interval from the heat of life, with the help of the optimistic elements of human nature depicted by the umbrella.
The painting as well depicts, the posture of thought called, walking meditation in which the monks pay detailed notice to the movement of the foot, the intention of walking. Walking meditation is positive to spiritual development.
