A True Story....

 A True Story.... 

A woman baked chapati for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapati on the window sill, for whosoever would take it away. Everyday, a hunchback came and took away the chapati. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: "The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" This went on, day after day. Everyday, the hunchback came, picked up the chapati and uttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"  The woman felt irritated. "Not a word of gratitude," she said to herself... 

"Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?"  One day, exasperated, she decided to do away with him. "I shall get rid of this hunchback," she said. And what did she do? She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him! As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. "What is this I am doing?" she said.  Immediately, she threw the chapati into the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window sill. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapati and muttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" The hunchback proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war raging in the mind of the woman. 

Everyday, as the woman placed the chapati on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune. For many months, she had no news of him.. She prayed for his safe return. That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway.  He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn. He was hungry, starved and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, "Mom, it's a miracle I'm here. While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. I begged of him for a morsel of food, and he was kind enough to give me a whole chapati. As he gave it to me, he said, "This is what I eat everyday: today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!" " As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale. 

She leaned against the door for support. She remembered the poisoned chapati that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have lost his life! It was then that she realized the significance of the words: "The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"  Do good and  Don't ever stop doing good, even if it’s not appreciated at that time. 
  
  
If you like this, share it with others and I bet you so many lives would be touched. 
  
Have a wonderful day.

Think Good Do Good

The Health Benefits of Silence

– Simple Yet Profound

By Dr Paul Haider

There’s a lot of great science showing that silence is very beneficial to your health.

Noise and especially noise over 30 decibels is associated with high blood pressure, anxiety, and stress. Lots of people get out of bed, take a shower, have coffee and put on the news and starts the cycle of stress for the day.

Silence lowers blood pressure and allows you to deal with life’s challenges in a better way.

Silence is like plugging in your phone… your mind needs to recharge too… and it does more recharging in silence than it does during sleep.

Silence is important if it’s inside or outside, sometimes you have more chatter going on inside than you have noise outside. Close the door… take a few deep breaths… and sit some where for a while and just watch the chatter slow down.

Silence allows you to find yourself in the midst of all the crazy running around. Especially if you are a busy person, sometimes you get the feeling you are more of a human doing… than a human being… and silence will help you feel human again.

Silence boosts your immune system… making it easier for your body to fight of invading bacteria and other pathogens.

Silence makes you happy, spending time in silence boosts your brain chemistry… and as a great side effect you’re able to focus better too!

Silence makes you look and feel younger and at the same time have a lot more energy.

Silence reduces stress (lowers blood cortisol levels and adrenaline levels) which is the biggest killer in the world… adding 30 minutes of silence a day can change your life.

Silence allows for good hormone regulation and interaction of all the hormone related systems in your body.

Silence keeps plaques from forming in arteries… and thus helping to prevent cardiovascular disease and strokes.

Silence reduces pain, and also helps your brain to become more interactive, thus you work with more of your brain… leading to higher cognitive abilities

A few Quotes on Silence :

A good word is an easy obligation ; but not to speak ill ,

requires only our silence , which costs us nothing.

------------Tillotson.

Silence is the safest course for any man to adapt who

distrusts himself.

------------Rochefoucauld.

True silence is the rest of the mind , and is to the spirit ,

what sleep is to the body , nourishment and refreshment.

It is a great virtue ; it covers folly , keeps secrets , avoids

disputes and prevents sin.

-------------William Penn.

There are three kinds of silence.

Silence from words is good , because inordinate

speaking tends to evil.

Silence or rest from desires and passions is still better ,

because it promotes quietness of spirit.

But the best of all is silence from unnecessary and

wandering thoughts , because that is essential to

internal recollection , and because it lays a foundation

for a proper reputation and for silence in other respects.

-------------Mad. Guyon.1

कोण कसं वागला या विचारात स्वतःला त्रास करून घेण्यापेक्षा आपण पुढे कसं वागायचं याचा विचार करा .आपण कुठे चुकलो याचा अभ्यास करा. त्यांच्या चुका तिथेच सोडून द्या आणि पुढच्या प्रवासाला सुरूवात करा.या दुनियेत असा एकही मनुष्य नाही ज्याच्या जीवनात दुःख,अडचणी नाहीत. ज्याने सृष्टी निर्माण केली त्यालाही हे सर्व भोगावं लागलंय . आपण तर साधारण मनुष्य आहोत.सर्व गोष्टी आपल्या मनासारख्या झाल्या पाहिजेत हा आग्रहच माणसाच्या सर्व दुःखाला कारणीभूत ठरतो. *कोणाच्या वाईट वागण्याने आपलं काहीही वाईट होत नसतं.* मिळतं तेच जे आपण पेरलेलं असतं. आपल्याशी कोण कसही वागेना आपण सगळ्यांशी चांगलंच वागायचं. इतकं चांगलं की विश्वासघात करणारा ही पुन्हा जवळ येण्यासाठी तळमळला पाहिजे.आयुष्याची खरी किंमत तेव्हाच कळते जेव्हा स्वतःच्या जीवनात संघर्ष करण्याची वेळ येते. *आयुष्यात कितीही कठीण परिस्थिती आली तरी घाबरून जाऊ नका.फक्त एकच गोष्ट लक्षात ठेवा आपण जिवंत आहोत म्हणजे खूप काही शिल्लक आहे.* जी माणसं स्वतःच्या परिस्थितीला स्वतःची ताकद बनवतात ती माणसं आयुष्यात कधीही अपयशी होत नाहीत.जगणं कोणाचंही सोपं नसतं. आपण सोडून बाकी सगळ्यांचं चांगलं आहे असं फक्त आपल्याला वाटत असतं, *सर्वात सुखी माणूस तोच आहे जो आपली किंमत स्वतः ठरवतो आणि सर्वात दुःखी माणूस तोच आहे जो आपली तुलना इतरांशी करतो.*

ज्या पात्रतेने तुम्हाला नोकरी दिली, तीच पात्रता एखाद्या व्यक्तीकडे आहे त्याला अजूनही नोकरी नाही.ज्या प्रार्थनेचे उत्तर देवाने तुमच्यासाठी दिले, तीच प्रार्थना इतर लोक करत आहेत पण यश मिळाले नाही. तुम्ही रोज सुरक्षितपणे जो रस्ता वापरता, तोच रस्ता आहे जिथे अनेकांनी आपले मौल्यवान जीव गमावले.ज्या मंदिरामध्ये देवाने तुम्हाला आशीर्वाद दिला, त्याच मंदिरामध्ये इतर लोकही पूजा करतात, तरीही त्यांचेजीवन विसंवादात आहे. तुम्ही हॉस्पिटलमध्‍ये वापरलेला बेड, तुम्‍ही बरे झालात आणि डिस्चार्ज मिळाला, त्याच बेडवर इतर अनेकांनी अखेरचा श्वास घेतला.ज्या पावसाने तुमच्या शेतात चांगले पीक आले, त्याच पावसाने दुसऱ्याचे शेत उध्वस्त केले.कारण तुमच्याकडे जे काही आहे ती फक्त *"ईश्वरी कृपा"* आहे. तुमच्याकडे असलेल्या सर्व गोष्टींचा तो दाता आहे.म्हणुनच तुमच्याकडे असलेल्या प्रत्येक गोष्टीसाठी *कृतज्ञ* रहा. पश्चात्ताप भूतकाळ बदलू शकत नाही आणि काळजी भविष्याला आकार देऊ शकत नाही. म्हणूनच वर्तमानाचा आनंद घेणे हेच जीवनाचे खरे सुख आहे. *दुसऱ्यांबद्दल वाईट बोलुन त्यांचे दुर्गुण सांगून,आपला चांगुलपणा आणि कर्तृत्व कधीच सिद्ध होत नसते.*

वय आणि पैसा यावर कधीच गर्व करू नये. कारण ज्या गोष्टी मोजल्या जातात, त्या नक्कीच संपतात. कठीण परिस्थितीमध्ये संघर्ष केल्यानंतर एक बहुमूल्य संपत्ती विकसित होते, ज्याच नाव आहे, आत्मविश्वास. *जगणं हे आईच्या स्वाभिमानासाठी असावं आणि जिंकणं वडिलांच्या कर्तव्यापोटी.*

समोरच्या व्यक्तीशी नेहमी चांगले वागा ती व्यक्ती चांगली आहे म्हणून नव्हे तर तुम्ही चांगले आहात म्हणून......!

A child's wish (A small story)

 A child's wish (A small story)

=========================

A Primary School teacher asks her pupils to write an essay

"what wish do you want from God?" At the end of the day, the teacher

collects all the essays given by her pupils. She takes them to her

house, sits and marking them. while marking the essays, the teacher

sees a strange essay written by one of her pupils. That essay made

her very emotional. Her husband comes and sits beside her and saw

her crying. The husband asked her wife "What happened?"

.

She answered "Read this. It is one of my pupil's essay."

"Oh God, Make me into a Television.

I want to live like the TV in my house.

.

In my house, the TV is very valuable. All of my family members

sit around it. They are very interested in it.

When the TV is talking, my parents listen to it happily and calmly.

They dont shout at the TV. They dont quarrel with the TV.

They dont slap at the TV. So I want to become a TV.

.

The TV is the center of attraction in my house.

I want to receive the same special care that the TV receives from

my parents. Even when it is not working, the TV has a lot of value.

.

When my dad and mom come home, immediately they sit

in front of the TV, switch on it and spend hours.

The TV is stealing the time of my dad and my mom.

If I become a TV, they will spend their time with me.

.

While watching the TV, my parents laugh a lot and they smile

many times. But I want my parents should laugh and smile with me.

So please make me into a TV. .

.

And last but not least, If I become a TV, surely I can make my parents

happy and entertain them. Lord I don't ask you anything. I just want to

live like a TV. Please make me into a TV."

.

The husband completed reading the essay.

He said "My God, poor kid. He feels loneliness. He did not receive

enough love and care from his parents. His parents are horrible".

.

The eyes of the primary School teacher filled with tears.

She looked at her husband and said "Our son wrote this eassy

2 Best Friends Story:

Two friends loved each other very much…

Unfortunately the one friend died.

the 2nd friend was upset so much & he couldn’t stop his tears.

He kept on crying day & night.

Many people gave sympathy but no argument could stop his tears.

One night he had a dream.

He saw his friend in heaven with so many boys and girls of his age.

He felt relax.

But he noticed that everyone was in fairy dress and had a lightened candle in their hands.

But his friend had a candle which was not lightened.

He asked his friend ” Why your candle is not lightened?”

His friend said ” Whenever I enlightened my candle, your tears fall on it. Please stop crying yaar..”

I wish you enough....

 I wish you enough.... 

Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.  Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, "I love you and I wish you enough".  The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough.  Your love is all I ever needed.  I wish you enough, too, Mom".    They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking,  "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?".   Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking,  but why is this a forever good-bye?".  "I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be  for my funeral," she said. "When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?".  She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone". She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. "When we said , 'I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with jus! t enough good things to sustain them".  Then turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.  I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude  bright no matter how gray the day may appear.   I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.  I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.  I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.  I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.  I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.  I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.  She then began to cry and walked away. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them.  TAKE TIME TO LIVE.....    To all my friends and loved ones,  I WISH YOU ENOUGH........

I LOVE THIS ANALOGY:

 I LOVE THIS ANALOGY:

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee?

"Because someone bumped into me!!!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"

When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy, gratitude, peace and humility?

Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting-tendencies?

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.
