NEVER JUDGE ANYONE WITH OUT KNOWING

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an
urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes
and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father
going and coming in the hall waiting for the doctor. Once seeing him,
the dad yelled:

“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger?
Don’t you have the sense of responsibility?”

The doctor smiled and said:

“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came the fastest I could after
receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”

“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you
calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??”
said the father angrily

The doctor smiled again and replied: “I will say what Job said in the
Holy Book “From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed be the
name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your son,
we will do our best by God’s grace”

“Giving advice when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,

“Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s
reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any question,
ask the nurse!!”

“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about
my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes
after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday
in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son’s
surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish
his son’s burial.”

Moral:- NEVER JUDGE ANYONE BECAUSE You never know how their life is
& as to what is happining or what they’re going through.
Just think ABOUT this moment.

THE TEA SHOP........

A tale reflecting the character & high values of the brave men guarding the nation...

They were on their way to the post where they would be deployed for
next three months. The batch being relieved, was waiting anxiously for
their arrival so that they could fall back to safer confines of their parent unit.
Some would proceed on leave and meet their families. They were happy
that they were to relieve a set of comrades who had done their job.

It was a treacherous climb and the journey was to last till the next evening.
Cold winter month with intermittent snowfall added to the torture.

If only some one could offer a cup of tea, the Major thought, knowing
completely well that it was a futile wish.

They continued for another hour before they came across a dilapidated
structure which looked like a small shop. It was locked.

It was 2 o'clock in the night and there was no house close to the shop
where the owner could be located. In any case it was not advisable to
knock any doors in the night for security reasons.

It was a stalemate. No tea boys, bad luck.

The Major told the men to take some rest since they had been walking
for more than three hours now.

Sir, this is a tea shop indeed and we can make tea. We will have to break
the lock though. The officer was in doubt about the proposed action but a
steaming cup of tea was not a bad idea. He thought for a while and permitted
for the lock to be broken. The lock was broken.

They were in luck.

The place was a shop indeed and had everything required to make tea,
and also a few packets of biscuits.

The tea was prepared and it brought great relief to all in the cold night.
They were now ready for the long and treacherous walk ahead of them
and started to get ready to move.

The officer was in thoughts. They had broken open the lock and prepared t
ea and consumed biscuits without the permission of the owner. The payment
was due but there was no one in sight.

The Major was not however moving out without doing what was to be done.
He took out a Rs 1000/- note from his wallet and kept it on the counter,
pressed under the sugar container, so that the owner sees it first thing
when he arrives in the morning.

He was now relieved of the guilt and ordered the move.

Days, weeks and months passed. They continued to do gallantly what they
were required to do and were lucky not to loose any one from the original
group in the intense insurgency situation.

And then one day, it was time to be replaced by another brave lot.

Soon they were on their way back and stopped at the same shop, which was
today open with the owner in place. He was an old man with very meager
resources and was happy to see eight of them with the prospect of selling
at least eight cups of tea that day.

All of them had their tea and spoke to the old man about his life and experiences
in general, selling tea at such remote a location.

The poor, old man had many stories to tell all of them, replete with his faith in God.

"Kya Baba, yadi Allah hota to kyaa aap ke jaisa 'Allah kaa bandaa' is haal main
hota, said one of them"; moved by his poverty and faith in God.

"Nahin Sahib, aise mat kaho, God actually exists.

I got the proof a few months back.

I was going through very tough times because my only son had been
severely beaten by the terrorists who wanted some information from him
which he did not have. I had closed the shop early that day and had taken
my son to the hospital. There were medicines to be purchased and I had no
money. No one would give me a loan from fear of the terrorists. There was
no hope, Sahib.

And that day Sahib, I had prayed to Allah for help.

And that day Sahib, Allah walked into my shop.

When I returned to my shop that day and saw the lock broken, I thought
someone had broken in and had taken away whatever little I had. But then
I saw that 'Allah' had left Rs 1000/-under the sugar pot. Sahib, I can't tell you
what that money was worth that day.

Allah exists Sahib, he does.

I know people are dying every day here but all of you will soon meet your near
and dear ones, your children, and you must thank your God Sahib, he is watching
all of us. He does exist. He walked in my shop that day. I know he did."

The faith in his eyes was unflinching.

It was unnerving.

Seven set of eyes looked at their officer and read the order in his eyes clear
and unambiguous, 'Keep quiet.'

The officer got up and paid the bill and hugged the old man.

"Yes Baba, I know,God does exist - and yes the tea was wonderful.

Seven set of eyes did not miss the moisture building in the eyes of the Major, a rare sight.

एक बच्चा अपनी मां के साथ टॉफियों की एक दुकान पर पहुंचा। वहां अनेक जारों में अनेक तरह की टॉफियां सजी हुई थीं। बच्चे की आंखें उन टॉफियों को देखकर ललचा रही थीं। दुकानदार को स्नेह उमड़ आया, उसने कहा, बेटे, तुम्हें जो भी टॉफी पसंद आ रही हो, वह बेझिझक ले सकते हो।

बच्चे ने कहा, नहीं। दुकानदार ने बच्चे को हैरानी से देखा और फिर समझाते हुए कहा, मैं तुमसे पैसे नहीं लूंगा। अब तो तुम अपनी पसंद की टॉफी ले सकते हो।

दुकान में बच्चे के साथ उसकी मां भी थी। उसने कहा, ठीक है बेटे, अंकल कह रहे हैं, तो ले लो। लेकिन बच्चे ने फिर मना कर दिया। मां और दुकानदार को वजह समझ में नहीं आई। फिर दुकानदार को एक नया उपाय सूझा, उसने स्वयं जार में हाथ डाला और बच्चे की तरफ मुट्ठी बढ़ाई। बच्चे ने झट से अपने स्कूल के बस्ते में सारी की सारी टॉफियां डलवा लीं।

दुकान से बाहर आने पर मां ने बच्चे से कहा, बड़ा अजीब लड़का है तू। जब तुझे टॉफियां लेने को कहा तब तो मना कर दिया और जब दुकानदार अंकल ने टॉफियां दीं तो मजे से ले लीं। बच्चे ने मां को समझाया, मेरी मुट्ठी बहुत ही छोटी है, दुकानदार की मुट्ठी बड़ी है। मैं लेता तो कम मिलतीं, उसने दीं तो बड़ी मुट्ठी भर कर दीं।

हमारी सोच बड़ी छोटी है; और प्रभु की सोच बहुत बड़ी है।

On the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten."
So God agreed.

On the second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks and make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?"
And God agreed.

On the third day God created the cow. "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves, and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty."
And God agreed again.

On the fourth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years."
Man said, "What? Only twenty years? Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back, and the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?"

Okay," said God, "You've got a deal."

So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves; the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren; and the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.

रबर का सुख

मेज पर कुछ कागज, पेंसिल व रबर वगैरह रखे हुए थे। पेंसिल और रबर एक ही कागज पर रखे थे। आधे कागज पर कुछ लिखा था..। रबर की आंखों में चमक थी, जबकि पेंसिल की आंखों में नमी झलक रही थी। पेंसिल रबर की ओर देखकर बोली- मुझे माफ कीजिए..मेरी गलतियों के लिए। आपका बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद जो आप मेरी हर गलती को सुधार देती हैं..। लेकिन तुम माफी क्यों मांग रही हो? रबर ने पेंसिल से पूछा। वह इसलिए क्योंकि मेरी हर गलती को सुधारने की कोशिश में आपका शरीर घटता जाता है। सिर्फ मेरी गलतियों की वजह से..। पेंसिल दुखी होते हुए बोली।

इस पर रबर बोली - दुखी क्यों होती हो। घटना तो सभी को है। तुम भी तो लिखने से घटती जाती हो, लेकिन जिस तरह लिखना तुम्हारा काम है, उसी तरह तुम्हारी गलतियां सुधारना मेरा काम है। देखो न, धीरे-धीरे तुम गलतियां कम कर रही हो..। सच, इस काम में मुझे बेहद सुकून मिलता है। मैं रहूं या न रहूं, इसकी मुझे चिंता नहीं है, मेरी चिंता तुम्हारी गलतियों को ठीक करना है..।

कथा मर्म : अपने लिए तो सभी जीते हैं। जीने का सच्चा आनंद तो दूसरों के लिए जीने में ही है!

बोझ

दर्शन शास्त्र के एक प्रोफेसर ट्रेन में यात्रा कर रहे थे। उनका सहयात्री बड़ा परेशान लग रहा था। वह अपनी तमाम समस्याएं गिनाने लगा- घरेलू समस्या.. आर्थिक समस्या.. और भी जाने क्या-क्या..। प्रोफेसर कुछ नहीं बोले। जब उसकी समस्याओं की चर्चा खत्म हो गई, तो प्रोफेसर बोले - मुझे प्यास लगी है। पानी है क्या? उस व्यक्ति ने तुरंत एक गिलास में पानी दिया। पानी पीने के बाद प्रोफेसर ने कहा- अगर मैं पंद्रह मिनट इस गिलास को हाथ में ही पकड़े रहूं, तो क्या होगा? वह व्यक्ति बोला- पकड़े रहिए, कुछ नहीं होगा। उन्होंने कहा- अगर मैं दो घंटे गिलास को पकड़े रहूं तो..? आपके हाथ में दर्द शुरू हो जाएगा - वह व्यक्ति बोला। क्या इससे गिलास का वजन कम हो जाएगा? नहीं। कैसी बात कर रहे हैं आप?

उस व्यक्ति को प्रोफेसर के दिमाग पर शक होने लगा। अच्छा..अगर मैं पूरे सात घंटे की यात्रा में गिलास को यूं ही उठाए रहूं तो..? आपके हाथ का रक्त प्रवाह रुक जाएगा और दर्द बहुत बढ़ जाएगा..। वह झल्लाकर बोला। दर्द दूर करने के लिए मैं क्या करूं? गिलास को रख दीजिए- वह व्यक्ति बोला। अब प्रोफेसर बोले - आप अपनी समस्याओं का बोझ उठाए क्यों घूम रहे हैं, आप भी रख दीजिए।

कथा मर्म : समस्याएं सब के पास होती हैं। यह आप पर निर्भर करता है कि उन्हें उठाए घूमते हैं या उनका समाधान निकालते हैं!!

A short Story which depicts Beauty of Belief in God....

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. You can take the sweets

But the child didn't 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 the mother also heard that and said "Take the sweets dear" Yet he didn't take

The shopkeeper seeing the child not taking the sweets

He himself took the sweets and gave to the child.

The child was happy to get two hands full of sweets.

While returning home the Mother asked the child

Why didn't you take the sweets, when the shop keeper told you to take..?

Can you guess the response: Child replies

Mom! My hands are very small and if I take the sweets 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 beyond our expectations more than what we can think of.. !

SAIBABA JI BLESS ALL OF US...JAI JAI SAI...

निष्पाप जीवन

एक सज्जन ने एकनाथ से पूछा, “महाराज, आपका जीवन कितना सीधा-साधा और निष्पाप है! हमारा जीवन ऐसा क्यों नहीं ? आप कभी किसी पर गुस्सा नहीं होते। किसी से लड़ाई झगड़ा नहीं, टंटा-बखेड़ा नहीं। कितने शांत, कितने प्रेमपूर्ण, कितने पवित्र हैं आप!”
एकनाथ ने कहा, “अभी मेरी बात छोड़ो। तुम्हारे संबंध में मुझे एक बात मालूम हुई है। आज से सात दिन के भीतर तुम्हारी मौत आ जायेगी।”
एकनाथ की कही बात को झूठ कौन मानता! सात दिन में मृत्यु! सिर्फ १६८ घंटे बाकी रहे! हे भगवान! यह क्या अनर्थ ? वह मनुष्य जल्दी-जल्दी घर दौड़ गया। कुछ सूझ नहीं पड़ता था। आखिरी समय की, सब कुछ समेट लेने की, बातें कर रहा था। वह बीमार हो गया। बिस्तर पर पड़ गया। छ: दिन बीत गये। सातवें दिन एक नाथ उससे मिलने आये। उसने नमसकार किया। एकनाथ ने पूछा, “क्या हाल है? ”
उसने कहा, “बस अब चला!
नाथजी ने पूछा, “इन छ: दिनों में कितना पाप किया? पाप के कितने विचार मन में आये?”
वह मरणासन्न व्यक्ति बोला, “नाथजी, पाप का विचार करने की तो फुरसत ही नहीं मिली। मौत एक-सी आंखों के सामने खड़ी थी।”
नाथजी ने कहा, “हमारा जीवन इतना निष्पाप क्यों है, इसका उत्तर अब मिल गया न?”

मरण रुपी शेर सदैव सामने खड़ा रहे, तो फिर पाप सूझेगा किसे?

कथा -मर्म : जीवन की सच्चाई का अगर एहसास है , तो बुरे काम होंगे ही नहीं .....
