The Tailor's Needle". ( moral story )!!!

"The Tailor's Needle" A tailor was at work. He took a piece of cloth and with a pair of  shining, costly, scissors, he cut the cloth into various bits. Then  he put the pair of scissors at his feet. Then he took a small  needle and thread and started to sew the bits of cloth, into a  fine shirt. When the spell of sewing was over, he stuck the  needle on to his turban.  The tailor's son who was watching it asked him: "Father, the  scissors are costly and look so beautiful. But you throw them  down at your feet. This needle is worth almost nothing; you can  get a dozen for an anna. Yet, you place it carefully on your head  itself. Is there any reason for this illogical behaviour?"  "Yes, my son. The scissors have their function, no doubt; but  they only cut the cloth into bits. The needle, on the contrary,  unites the bits and enhances the value of the cloth. Therefore,  the needle to me is more precious and valuable. The value of a  thing depends on its utility, son, not on its cost-price or  appearance". Similarly, there are two classes of people in the  world-those who create dissensions and disharmony, who  separate man from man; and those who bring about peace and  harmony, who unite people.  The former are generally the rich people, powerful politicians  and kings; the latter are generally the poor devotees of God,  the penniless wandering monks, and mendicants. The Lord  makes use of both to carry on his function of providing the field  for the evolution of individual souls. He throws down on the dust  the mighty kings and millionaires who create wars and  disharmony; and He keeps the poor, pious devotee over His own  head.  In His eyes the scale of values is entirely different!    "The Future Belongs To Those Who Believe In the Beauty  of Their Dreams"

What ever is Happening - for the GOOD only

Whatever is happening is for the good

Once, a man started meditating for the God. The God appeared before him and said, “Ask for any boon that you desire.”

The man said, “Oh Lord, the fear of death is scaring me always. Kindly make me immortal.”

The God said, “Granted.”

The man now became immortal. But, he became old after few years. As he became very old, he suffered from many diseases. Nonetheless, he did not die. His wife, friends, brothers all died. He started suffering out of this and prayed to the God again.

The God appeared again. But the man was still obsessed of his attachments in this world.

The God said, “What happened? What do you want now? Do you want to be relieved of your immortality?”

He said, “Oh Lord, you have given me immortality. But, you have not stopped my growing old. Today, I am a 300 years old man. Therefore, I request you to kindly make me ever youthful.”

The God said, “Have you applied your mind on whatever you are asking for? Because, I will not come to you again. This is my last visit.”

The man said, “Yes Lord, I am asking for it after having thought over it.”

The God said, “In that case, let it be as it is.”

Now, the man became young and started enjoying life fully. In this process, he got a life partner. He got back love in his life once again. He had few children. He was completely immersed in his worldly life. But, the old things started repeating. His wife died before his very eyes. His children became old and died. After some years, his dear grand children also became old and were about to die. Now, his youth also started feeling bitter to him.

He again prayed to the God. But the God did not appear this time. However, the man had realized that there is a reason behind the way of this world created by God. A son will die only after the death of his old father as per the rules of creation because the death of a son when the father is living is most sorrowful. Old age will come after youth. This is so because it takes out the excitement of youth from a man and prepares him for his death.

The God did not appear. But the man started becoming old slowly. There was no grievance in his mind now. He had realized that whatever the God does is for the good.
