Satyam Shivam Sundaram: UNIQUE HANDSEL

Satyam Shivam Sundaram: UNIQUE HANDSEL:                                                        (jai ma kali)                      UNIQUE  HAND-SEL                   ============...

UNIQUE HANDSEL

                                                       (jai ma kali)
                     UNIQUE  HAND-SEL
                  ====================
     Once a little lassie was gussying up a box with a gold wrapping paper to put it under the christmas tree. Money was tight, so her pater chastised her bitterly for extirpating almost all roll of that costly paper.
However, the next morning the lass brought the handsel to her pater and cooed," This is for you, Dad."When he opened it delightfully,he found it empty. He gurgled with ire,"Don't you know that when you give someone a gift, it is supposed that there would be something inside it?"
 Tears welled up in her eyes. She echoed with sobs," Daddy,this box is not empty. I filled it with my kisses, all for you."
  The father was stunned and speechless. He put his arms around her and entreated for her forgiveness.

                ******************

       Once, great Shivaji engaged thousands of labourers to build a brobdingnagian citadel.He became very vainglorious to think that he was supporting so many men and women. He was puffed up with vainglory.
    His Guru and mentor, Samarth Ramdas, came to know of Shivaji's pride through his spiritual power. He summoned Shivaji and asked him to break a big stone lying near his palace.
    Shivaji enjoined a servant to do so. As soon as the stone was broken, a toad that was inside it popped out. Guruji asked," Who had supported and arranged victuals for this toad inside the stone?"
 Shivaji understood. He felt ashamed. His vainglory deliquesced away from his mind.Wisdom dawned upon him.
*********************************************************
 MORAL: Only God is our support. All things are God- given. We are puppets in the hands of the LORD !!
