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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORAL---Each of us have been given a present of unconditional love from our children, family, friends and GOD. It is the most precious possession that anyone could hold !!

Satyam Shivam Sundaram: OUR SUPPORT
Satyam Shivam Sundaram: OUR SUPPORT: (jai ma kali) OUR SUPPORT ****************** ...
OUR SUPPORT
(jai ma kali)
OUR SUPPORT
******************
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 !!

Satyam Shivam Sundaram: THE PLEASURES OF READING
Satyam Shivam Sundaram: THE PLEASURES OF READING: (jai ma kali) THE PLEASURES OF READING ***************************...
THE PLEASURES OF READING
(jai ma kali)
THE PLEASURES OF READING
************************************
It cannot be impugned that one of the best forms of recreation is Reading books. It is easily available, conducive to the health of body as well as health of mind and elevation of the spirit.
"Books,"said Milton,"Are not absolutely dead things but do contain a potency of life in them so active as the soul whose progeny they are." Indeed books are our best companion, guide and adviser. Reading books gives us great pleasure.
Reading is a pleasure that pays its own way.It is the cheapest mode of recreation.The briefest interval of leisure can be made delightful bu it. The obscurest village offers opportunities for the gratification of this taste.
Reading is a recreation of which the pleasures and the profits are out of all proportion to the amount of time we devote to it. It is a pleasure which is absolutely innocent, free from the faintest taint of vice or wrong, strong and thrilling while it lasts, soothing and elevating when it is dropped.

WHEN I FELT INNER HAPPINESS

WHEN I FELT INNER HAPPINESS
************************************
Once I went to a small restaurant for taking my lunch. As my order arrived I happened to notice a pair of small eyes peeping wishfully through the outside window at the victuals served on the various tables.I gesticulated to the small boy to come inside. He came in hesitatingly. I made him sit and asked him what he wanted to eat. The poor chap pointed at the plate full of scrumptious victuals at my table.
I ordered another plateful. When the food was served, he could not contain his excitement and started gulping down the nosh. When he finished, a winsome smile beamed on his lips.Casting a thankful glance at me, he quit happily. I really felt inner happiness. I had not eaten my food, but I felt myself full to the brim.
I asked for the bill. My eyes filled with tears to see that the bill had no amount but a message that read," We don't have a machine that can bill humanity. May good happen to you !"
