REMAIN CONNECTED

REMAIN CONNECTED
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Once upon a time a young chap was flying a kite with his dad. After sometime, the chap said,"Pop, because of the string, the kite is unable to ascend any higher."Hearing this the dad chuckled to himself and snapped the string.The kite soared a tad higher initially after the snapping of the string, but shortly after that it began to tumble down and finally it flumped down on the ground.The chap was dejected and sad.
The father plumps down near his son and calmly elucidated," Son, in life, we accomplish a certain level of prosperity and then we vaingloriously feel that there are certain things in our life which shackle us to grow any further like our home, family, culture and friendship.We might be tempted to break free from these strings and attachments that are like the stumbling blocks on our path to move forward. But remember the lesson you learnt from the kite.Ascending higher seems easy at first, but a tad later, it all comes to an end."
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
MORAL OF THE STORY_----------
Friends, family and our culture are the only things that will help us stay stable at the heights that we have attained. If we try to snap away from these strings, our fate will be like that of the kite.

IN PARADISE
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Once upon a time there lived an old couple in a simple and small hut.Both, the hubby and the wife were simple and compassionate persons.They believed in simple living and high thinking.
Their hut did not contain a proper carpet, just tits and pieces hither and thither, no nice furniture and nothing luxurious.People of the area would often visit their house and later cachinnate and comment on the poor standard of their living.
One day, one of their fast friends made a jaunt to their house.During conversations, he whispered," Your husband has a well-paying job. Why don't you get your house titivated ?The woman trilled politely,"We have got another house. We use our money on that house because we consider it a foolhardy to spend the money here."
Greately astonished, the friend crooned,"Oh! I did not know you have another house. Where is it?"The lady responded," IN PARADISE."
The friend was bemused and flummoxed.The woman elucidated, "Let us do good actions each day.Slowly your house will be built with bricks of gold and silver in paradise. Instead of squandering your money on inutile comforts and luxuries here, let us utilise our wealth in extending it to help those who are in pathetic conditions and in dire need.By doing this, when we leave for our heavenly abode, we will be comfortably accommodated in paradise."

Satyam Shivam Sundaram: GODLINESS
Satyam Shivam Sundaram: GODLINESS: jai ma kali G*O*D*L*I*N*E*S*S ...
GODLINESS
jai ma kali
G*O*D*L*I*N*E*S*S
*********************
Long,long ago, during , the days of Lord BUDDHA, there lived an oofy couple.Both,the hubby and the wife were kind and compassionate and loved to care for and serve the sick and the impecunious. They were ever ready to run errands for the helpless and the hapless.
One day, when the pious wife went to serve the sick in a Buddhist monastery, she was accosted by a monk in a deplorable state of health.After serving him when the lady asked him about food, he murmured,"Only meat soup can save my life."
The lady was very vexed and in a catch-22 situation. She had never maimed or killed or caused to be killed any critter even for food.She sat chewing the cud to find a way out.Luckily, an idea bobbed up in her mind. "I'll slice off a portion of my own flesh to prepare soup for the indisposed monk,she resolved.And then, she translated her resolve into reality.
When the hubby learnt of the deed of her wife and also she herself had endangered her life, he in a state of panick, skedaddled to the Buddha and blubbered out to him the whole incident.
" Chillax son,"consoled the Buddha," I'll come to your home with my accolytes for food. Your spouse will then have to stand up and feed us."
As promised, the Buddha came the next day with his disciples.The wife was too bruised and sick to attend to them. But when the Buddha asked for her, she was able to stand up and walk as if nothing had happened to her.To her utter astonishment, she discovered that her wound was completely healed and all weakness had jettisoned her.
*********************
MORAL OF THE STORY---------Godliness lies more in service than in prayer.

THE VERACIOUS SOLDIER
jai ma kali
THE VERACIOUS SOLDIER
***************************
This incident happened during the World WarII.Enemy planes thundered menacingly in the black sky.To prevent them and foil their attempts to locate and bomb their targets accurately,a 'black out was ordered.This meant that every light was put out or so camouflaged that not even a speck of light could be visible anywhere. Anyone defying the order was regarded as the accomplice of the enemy and could be shot dead as a punishment.
One dark night,as the ill luck would have it, a soldier was stung by an insect.He had to strike a match stick to flame for a second. Although he tried his level best to shield the light,yet it was noticed by the Commander.Gurgling with ire,he skedaddled to the spot.He thundered," Who has the audacity to strike a match and flout my order?"
There was a stony silence.
"If I do not find out who committed this blunder,the whole garrison will be severely punished,"yelled he.
The guilty soldier did not totter to confess to his crime.Though he knew that he would be shot dead for admitting his offence, yet he requested the soldier next to him to convey a farewell message to his spouse and children.Then he boldly stood up and declared,"It is I,Sir,"
The commander was highly impressed by the truthfulness of the soldier.He trilled," I shall spare your life for being truthful and give you a smaller punishment.Remember for the future that you become an enemy helper and traitor when you commit such a peccadillo."
The soldier was grateful for the Commander's lenity and vowed never to repeat such a demeanor.
