Three questions about GOD..!!!!!!!

A Beautiful story.....

There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time.
When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar or any expert who could answer his 3 Questions.

Finally, his parents were able to find a scholar.

Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions?

Scholar: I am one of God willing, I will be able to answer your questions.

Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able to answer my questions.

Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of God.

Young Man: I have 3 questions:
1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.
2. What is fate?
3. If Devil was created from the fire, why at the end he will be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not hurt him at all, since Devil and the hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this far?

Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard.

Young Man(feeling pain): Why do you get angry at me?

Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three questions.

Young Man: I really don't understand.

Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?

Young Man: Of course, I felt the pain.

Scholar: So do you believe that pain exists?

Young Man: Yes.

Scholar: Show me the shape of the pain!

Young Man: I cannot.

Scholar: That is my first answer. All of us feel God's existence without being able to see His shape… Last night, did you dream that you will be slapped by me?

Young Man: No.

Scholar: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today?

Young Man: No.

Scholar: That is fate my second answer…….. My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from?

Young Man: It is created from flesh.

Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from?

Young Man: Flesh.

Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?

Young Man: In pain.

Scholar: Thats it. this is my third answer, Even though Devil and also the hell were created from the fire, if God wants, God willing , the hell will become a very painful place for devil.

god bless.

Mother Earth

In her embrace, she holds you calm,
always protecting you, bringing you no harm.

Yet blinded you are, by your greed,
marauding her, you make her bleed,

Thus she question? thus she retort?
ever in her wake, does she ask for support?

She elegantly holds you, in her wings,
knowing you'll cut them, yet she sings,

do you hear the woods moaning?
the land cracking? the air dying?

She'll not survive, because you've made her the bait,
All she can hope is that you realize before its too late.

Hi frnds here is a small story i would like to share with uall.
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'
The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'
What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
Great men say, 'Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness... In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.'

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling...
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!

God Bless..

Let go one's Ego

How far an EGO can effect us...

There was once a learned scientist...

After a lot of practice and efforts, he developed a formula and learned the art of reproducing himself. He did it so perfectly that it was impossible to tell the reproduction from the original.

One day while doing his research, he realized that the Angel of Death was searching for him. In order to remain immortal he reproduced a dozen copies of himself. The reproduction was so meticulous that all of them looked exactly like him. Now when this Angel of Death came down, he was at a loss to know which of the thirteen before him was the original scientist, and confused, he left them all alone and returned back to heaven.

But, not for long, for being an expert in human nature, the Angel came up with a clever idea. He said to the scientist addressing all thirteen of them, "Sir, you must be a genius to have succeeded in making such perfect reproduction formula of yourself. However, I have discovered a flaw in your work, just one tiny little flaw."

The scientist immediately jumped out and shouted, Impossible! where is the flaw?" "Right here" said the Angel, as he picked up the scientist from among the reproductions and carried him off.

The whole purpose of the scientist and his formula of reproduction failed as he could not control his pride and lost his life.



So while one's Knowledge and Skills takes one to the top of the ladder and makes one successful, however the three letter word "EGO" can pull one down immediately.



Happiness is not something you find, It's something you create.
LIFE IS NO WHERE - can be read as - LIFE IS NOW HERE.

God Bless....

The people who make a Difference!!!!!!!

"Now I see why powerful people often wear sunglasses - the spotlight blinds them to reality. They suffer from a delusion that power means something (it doesn't). They suffer from the misconception that titles make a difference (they don't). They are under the impression that earthly authority will make a heavenly difference (it won't).

Do you want me to prove my point? Take this quiz.

* Name the ten wealthiest people in the world.
* Name the last ten Olympics trophy winners.
* Name the last ten winners of the Miss India contest.
* Name eight people who have won the Nobel or Bharat ratna prize.
* How about the last ten Academy Award winners for best picture or the last decade's worth of World Series winners?

How did you do?

I didn't do well either. With the exception of your trivia hounds, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday too well.

Surprising how quickly we forget, isn't it?

And what I've mentioned above are no second-rate achievements. These are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz...See how you do on this one:


* Think of three people you enjoy spending time with.
* Name ten people who have taught you something worthwhile.
* Name five friends who have helped you in a difficult time.
* List a few teachers who have aided your journey through school.
* Name half-a-dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Easier?
It was for me, too.
The lesson ?

The people who make a difference are not the ones with the credentials, but the ones with the concern."

God bless....

Follow your Dreams

Life is an adventure: unexplored, unchartered and full of new discoveries. Seldom do people think out of the box and follow their dreams. At other times they do what they think is "right" according to the society or what’s “best” for their parents, there by suppressing their dreams and along with, their true talents within.

And then, 30 years later they say "How I wish I had followed my dreams, at least I'd not be in this pathetic state!" Earning isn’t everything. The one who's lost to money, has lost all wisdom, and shall die with greed following him to his grave.

Remember the Sailor Song whenever you find yourself in such a situation:

O' Sailor,
Where art thou sails?
Have thee forgot,
How the eastern wind wails?

O' Sailor,
Why did thee follow thy captains'?
Is it 'cause,
He promised you beautiful dames and honey buns'?

O' Sailor,
Do thee wait for time to be spent?
The sun melts,
Do thee wait for the day to end?

O' Sailor,
Don’t thee see the North Star calling?
In thy greed,
Don’t thee feel the salty waters crying?

O' Sailor,
Has thou glow withered?
Is it true,
In thou blindness thou conscience dithered?

O' sailor,
Won’t thy travel to unchartered islands?
'tis not all laden with treasures,
But wont thy find success at length in thou hands?

BE POSITIVE

Hi this is Harish here. Here is a small story of success by being positive....

BE POSITIVE ALWAYS....

There was a farmer who grew superior quality and award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honor and prizes.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.

"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn,
cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn.

If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."

The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves. So it is in the other dimensions! Those who choose to be at harmony must help their neighbors and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.

Success does not happen in isolation. It is very often a participative and collective process. So share the good quality .....

"Live with no excuse & Love with no regrets . when life gives u a hundred reasons to cry ,show life that u have thousand reasons to smile".

GOD BLESS.....

Bittersweet Love

Love. What is it? Do you expect it from anyone? Do you want to impart it to someone? It's not the question whether your heart is true! But is it weak, is it damaged? Then it’s a time to look for a new beginning!


Here’s a poem:

When you're bent and broken,
It’s time to get up and fight,
Understand what is not spoken,
'cause morning shines after the night..

When the Darkness surrounds you,
Look for the bright light,
It will help you to get through,
The black and white..

A star shines inside,
Your cold soul it shall ignite,
Let the pain ebb away and subside,
Like a free flying kite..

And when you do finally forgive,
Don’t curse the tarnished love in your quiet,
'cause to love and get hurt is the only way to live,
Free your heart once again to take flight!
