A Beautiful Morning Story To Learn From !!

Bhagavat Geeta is very huge. So why we read the Bhagavat Geeta, even if we can't understand it? Here is a story that tells you why :

An old farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Bhagavat Geeta.

His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagawat Geeta just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand, I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Bhagawat Geeta do?"

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.

The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before here turned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough," and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty.

Out of breath, he said, "SEE.... it is useless!"

"So you think it is useless?" The old man said, "Look at the basket."

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.

"Son, that's what happens when you read the Bhagavat Geeta. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of GOD in our lives."

This is beautiful story - Can't say when it might inspire one.

it's there on sunny days,

yet shines brightest

through the darkest night.

Hope will always be

our greatest treasure

with a value

that's beyond measure.

For hope is the key

to finding our dreams,

no matter how long

the flight ahead seems.

that's ever ablaze,

and the bit of magic

that helps us get

through the days.

I'm sending this

It will ever

sparkle bright,

to keep the hope

alive in your heart

day and night.

Should you ever

get discouraged

the star of hope

will give you courage

A Morning Story About "Excellance" ... !!

A tourist  once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby. 

Surprised, he asked the sculptor, "Do you need two statues of the same idol?" 

"No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage." 

The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. 

"Where is the damage?" he asked. 

"There is a scratch on the nose of the idol." said the sculptor, still busy with his work. 

"Where are you going to install the idol?"

The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high. 

"If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?" the gentleman asked... 

The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, "I will know it."

The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. "Excellence" is a drive from inside, not outside. Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and efficiency...

HAVE A GOOD DAY & ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND !!

Inspirational Morning Quotes !

Living with the Attitude of  2-GET & 2-GIVE creates many PROBLEMS,

But, Just DOUBLE the attitude to 4-GET & 4-GIVE,

And  it solves the PROBLEMS…..

It doesn’t matter for how long the room has been dark; 

For a day, or a week, or a year, or for ten thousand years.

The moment you bring in a candle; 

darkness vanishes like it was never there!!!!

Similarly, it doesn’t matter for how long we are stuck in a sense of our limitations.

The moment you decide to BREAK FREE , nothing will stop you...

You cannot control what happens to you,

 but you can control your attitude towards what happens to you, 

and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Look back & get Experience ! Look Forward & See Hope !

Look Around & Find Reality ! Look within & Find Your self.....

Cute Morning Poem !!

Smiling is infectious,

You catch it like the flu,

When someone smiled at me today,

I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,

And someone saw my grin,

When he smiled I realized,

I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,

Then realized its worth,

A single smile, just like mine,

Could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,

Don't leave it undetected.

Let's start an epidemic quick,

And get the world infected..

Loving Morning Story !!!

DEFINITELY NOT TO BE MISSED !!!!!!!!!!

Priya married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party, Priya's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook, with Rs.1000 deposit amount.

Mother: Priya, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'

Priya shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made. This was what they did after certain time:

- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage

- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Priya

- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali

- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Priya got pregnant

- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted

.... and so on...

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things. They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more love...

Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

One day Priya talked to her Mother:

'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!'

Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'

Priya thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account.

While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked.

Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home.

When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce. The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to Priya. She found a new deposit of Rs.5000. And a line next to the record : 

'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you through out all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.' 

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.

Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask. I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone through all the good years in their life.

"When you fall, in any way, Don't see the place where you fell, Instead see the place from where you slipped.

Life is about correcting mistakes."

LOVE IS PRECIOUS DON’T MISS IT…

SO, ENJOY LIFE ... STARTING WITH THIS WEEKEND.....
