When God Gives...

I liked this story very much... So here it goes

Once a boy went to a shop with his mother..

The shop keeper looked at the small cute child and showed him a bottle with sweets and said 'Dear Child.. u can take the sweets... but the child did not take.

The shop keeper was surprised.. such a small child he is and why is he not taking the sweets from the bottle. Again he said take the sweets.. now his mother also heard that and said.. ''beta take the sweets..'' yet he did not take...

The shopkeeper saw that the child was not taking the sweets.. So he himself took the sweets and gave to the child.. The child was happy to get two hands full of sweets..

When they returned home, his Mother asked him.. Why did not you take the sweets when shop keeper told you to take..


The child said.. ''Mom, my hands are very small and if i take the sweets from my hands then i can only take few.. but now you see when uncle gave with his big hands, how many more sweets i got!!''

Moral:

When we take, we may get little but when God gives, he gives us more then our expectations. ... more than what we can hold....

Crossing the Physical Barrier



A big HI to all,

The blog had gone into "coma" due to various ailments, but finally its out; before going for fullstop. As I was sharing my experiences and many views on different things, got a very nice scolding that why I do not share with everyone so here I am and I promise that will take care of it now and will not let it slip again in "coma" (need a reminder)
Various things are there to share and one by one it will be on this space. Here goes the first one-
When I had to go to Coimbatore to teach YES!+ I got this fear that I do not know Tamil, the local language people speak there so I was like avoiding and planning how to escape that. And as usual, what you fear you have to go through that, so I went. Everything I did nicely, but the course day i got severe throat infection followed by high fever, coughing like crazily sick old fellow. After years went to see doctor and he advised not to speak even a word and take complete rest for coming four days; and I said I cant...
Whole day did not speak, just coughed...
Evening I went to the course with 103 fever and bad throat, prayed to HIM and started the course..... Amazed by HIS grace as I did not cough even once while speaking and not only this I taught "surya namaskar", a set of yogasanas, also..
Felt sudden gush of such a high energy that I even did all the rounds of surya namaskar with them; 18 pretty rounds. And it was an experience not only for me but for all the participants also.
This made me experience that pain or discomfort are all mere words, its game of mind. When you have strong will it can be overcome with HIS grace just like that.
"Give a chance to the Divine to work on you"

With Love..
