      “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”


      “A man's errors are his portals of discovery.”


      “Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes.”

      “Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.”

      “I think we all wish we could erase some dark times in our lives. But all of life's experiences, bad and good, make you who you are. Erasing any of life's experiences would be a great mistake.”


      “All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.”

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother Teresa


Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

Peace begins with a smile.
Mother Teresa


Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
...Give the world the best you've got anyway!

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

जीवन में एक सितारा था
माना वह बेहद प्यारा था
वह डूब गया तो डूब गया
अंबर के आंगन को देखो
कितने इसके तारे टूटे
कितने इसके प्यारे छूटे
जो छूट गए फ़िर कहाँ मिले
पर बोलो टूटे तारों पर
कब अंबर शोक मनाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई

जीवन में वह था एक कुसुम
थे उस पर नित्य निछावर तुम
वह सूख गया तो सूख गया
मधुबन की छाती को देखो
सूखी कितनी इसकी कलियाँ
मुरझाईं कितनी वल्लरियाँ
जो मुरझाईं फ़िर कहाँ खिलीं
पर बोलो सूखे फूलों पर
कब मधुबन शोर मचाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई

जीवन में मधु का प्याला था
तुमने तन मन दे डाला था
वह टूट गया तो टूट गया
मदिरालय का आंगन देखो
कितने प्याले हिल जाते हैं
गिर मिट्टी में मिल जाते हैं
जो गिरते हैं कब उठते हैं
पर बोलो टूटे प्यालों पर
कब मदिरालय पछताता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई

मृदु मिट्टी के बने हुए हैं
मधु घट फूटा ही करते हैं
लघु जीवन ले कर आए हैं
प्याले टूटा ही करते हैं
फ़िर भी मदिरालय के अन्दर
मधु के घट हैं,मधु प्याले हैं
जो मादकता के मारे हैं
वे मधु लूटा ही करते हैं
वह कच्चा पीने वाला है
जिसकी ममता घट प्यालों पर
जो सच्चे मधु से जला हुआ
कब रोता है चिल्लाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई

Everything happens for a Reason....

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there…to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
 

And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart.


Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create whom you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.

Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to.

Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create you own life and then go out and live it.  

Share this with anyone whom you believe
has made a difference in your life!

"If you take your eyes off your goals, all you see is obstacles."

One of things I learnt from my mistakes:

Tears are the most precious in our life.Dont ever waste them.Dont cry infront of anyone except the lord.

Be bold or act like you are bold.That action itself not only makes you bold but also the persons around you.

May be this may be not true for everyone who read this.But I believe in self and my inner self includes the lord.

Repeating Deepika's words:

Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create you own life and then go out and live it.

A person who gets inspired from some inpirational positive thoughts told by some other person also has the ability to get discouraged on others words told by some other person.

So,Think before you act.Be as you are.Just take what you like.

I learnt the below Mistake:

People Say "What ever happens is for our good."

In  my life I won't be believing it.I will believe that words in case even if a single person feels the same at the moment when any one of his family member passed away.

If the statement is true,It must be true irrespective of the scenario.Isnt it?

So if you say to some one that "What ever happens is for our good", be ready to feel the same when your loved person passed away Otherwise you dont have the right to tell to anyone in any situation.

I cant think like that,So I made my self hatred against that statement in any situation.I won't tell this to anyone and don't like anyone to tell the same to me.

What I am not able to learnt and want some one to make me learn..

People says,Books Says,God Says that "What ever happens now is due to our past karmas..."

The same People also say,The Same Books also Say,The Same God also Say that "Everything happens by his wish.Even the ant cannot move without his permission....."

So,If am suffering today,I would have done mistakes in my past birth.But why did god made me to do mistakes in my past birth?? Why did god made some people to do good things and some people to do bad things?

May be GOD is partial to some people whom he like  Or may be any one of the statements is false.

As he wont be partial.Any one of above statements must be wrong.Isn't it???????

The point here is Which one of the above statements is Correct?????

This will be my unanswered question which made me to do more mistakes and made me to learn more than that.

Dear, I wanted to reply on this today evening, Concept was in my mind, But could not able to draft the same. Perhaps, It would only be wish of sai, Just to reply this one question, I got many other answers. Here is reply by the great great saint Sheikh farid Ji, posted by Paramjit bali on his blog:

कंधी वहण न ढाहि,तौ भी लेखा देवणा॥
जिधरि रब रजाइ,वहुण तिदाऒ गंउ करे॥८४॥

फरीदा डुखा दिह गईआ,सूलां सेती राति॥
खता पुकारे पातणी,बेड़ा कपर वाति॥८५॥

लंमी लंमी नदी वहै,कंधी करै हेति॥
बेड़े नो कपरु किआ करे, जे पातण सु चेति॥८६॥

फरीद जी कहते है कि जब नदी बहती है तो वह अपने किनारों पर पड़ने वाली हर चीज को अपने साथ बहा कर ले जाती है।लेकिन इस नदी को भी इस सब कामों का हिसाब देना पड़ता है।यह बात सही है कि यह जो कुछ भी होता है वह सब परमात्मा की मर्जी से होता है।नदी की धार तो उसी दिशा में बहती है जिधर उसे रास्ता मिलता जाता है और यह रास्ता परमात्मा द्वारा ही निश्चित किया हुआ होता है।अर्थात फरीद जी कहना चाहते हैं कि हम जो भी कर्म करते हैं उस का फल हमें ही भुगतना पड़ता है।लेकिन इस के साथ वह यह भी कह्ते हैं कि यह सब कुछ ईश्वर की मर्जी से ही होता है।लेकिन फिर सवाल उठता है कि हम दुख क्यों भोगते हैं?असल मे हमारे दुखो का कारण हमारा अंहकार ही होता है।
फरीद जी आगे कहते है कि इन दुखों से हम सारा दिन दुखी होते रह्ते हैं इस तरह हमारे सारे दिन दुखों के कारण दुखी होते हुए बीतते है,और रात को हम इन्ही की चिन्ता में परेशान होते रहते हैं।किनारे पर खड़ा मल्लाह(गुरु) हमे पुकार-पुकार कर कहता रहता है कि देख!दुखों के भार के कारण तेरा जिन्दगी का बेड़ा डूबने ही वाला है।अर्थात फरीद जी कहना चाहते है कि इन दुखों और दुनियावी समस्याओ में उलझ कर हमे अपनी इस जिन्दगी को बर्बाद नही करना चाहिए।

फरीद जी आगे कहते है कि भले ही यह दुख रूपी लम्बी नदी बह रही है जिस कारण हम दुख भोगते रहते हैं,लेकिन यह दुख रुपी नदी हमारे जीवन को दुखी नही कर सकती यदि हमारे बेड़े को चलाने वाला परमात्मा हो।अर्थात फरीद जी पहले संसार के दुखों के होनें का कारण बताते है कि इस संसार में सुख दुख परमात्मा की मर्जी से ही जीवन में आते हैं और यह दुख हमें अपने अंहकार के कारण ही महसूस होते हैं। लेकिन यदि हम इन दूखो से निजात पाना चाहते हैं तो हमे उस प्रभु का सहारा ही लेना चाहिए।

I hope you would have got the answer of your question. It is all Ego, If a policeman kills some criminal to protect the society without thinking about his promotion or any reward, It is duty and under wish of Lord, But if he do the same thing with getting the reward in mind, It is Sin. Act is same, In both the cases, He is performing his duty, But in first case it is for duty, their is no "i", but in second case , it is only for 'i".

May Sai Bless You!

Nothing can happen with out gods cern - This is the meaning of one of the statements I made..

What ever we do,Either Good or Bad,it is possible only with the concern of God...That's what the saying "Even a ant cant move with out gods wish"


Many books Say that if we do a good thing,we must not feel that we had done something good.It is the God who had made us to do that...All the books,saints,god  says the samething..Either the good or bad ,it can be by only and only gods concern..


Coming to your example,You said if a policeman kill a person not part of his duty,it will be a sin.But my question is not really what is a sin or what not is a sin...As already said with out gods wish nothing will happen...Then why did the god made the policeman to commit such a Sin...Then your answer will be that is due to his past karmas....The my question will be why god made the policeman to do a sin in the past as nothing can happen without concer...and the loop goes on....

Sorry saib,If i didnt understand you properly...

Sorry Dear, If I could not make it understandable. Sheikh farid Ji's answer was enough, unnecessarily I add my example, But what you Say is like:

"Even a ant cant move without gods wish"

It is not God who just push ant to move left or right or any direction. He gives power to ant to move forward. Now, It is ant who has to decide, where it wants’ to Go.

God have given enough wisdom to understand meaning of life and utilize is for the purpose of life i.e. a chance to get free from all bonds, But where We will use, It we have to decide. That's difference between "Chetan" aur "Avchetan", like in Human and Tree. If God has not allowed to make a choice to act good or evil, than what purpose remains for whole existence of mankind. He could make Robot like humans, Just to perform selected tasks. Might be on some other planets, this type of life already exist.

If You just Study "Bhagavad Gita", specially "Karmas" You will get much more clarity. Krishna Says, God Gives Eyes to human, But with these eyes what he sees, He is to decide, He gives Ears, But what to listen, He has to decide etc.,

So, If you choose eyes to see beautiful faces under delusion in the world in stead of beautiful face of Lord, Then who is to blame, If you listen all dirty things instead of Bhajan's and praise of Lord, Who is to blame.

Thank to God, That Thy has given to act Karmas, otherwise We would not be much more than a computer program.

So, If you just Read Sheik farid Ji's Shalok again with calm mind, more over study Gita with full consideration, You will get a complete answer. I am sorry, If I could not explain properly, But, Some knowledge comes from inside at Right Time only.

All The Best!

May sai Bless You!

Yes, It is only You who Do Good or Bad. Why You do, Two Resons, Just to pay back against Karmas, or to create a "New Karma".

There are billions of soul (only on this planet), and there might be millions of such planets, What do you think, God will keep looking and controlling all acts, If God has to do all, Then what acts remains for delusion. and All will be at par.

You Buy CD of Microsoft office and install in your computer, What you expect Bill Gates to come and repair every time when ever there is a system problem. You Pay him, He gives you his knowledge. So, You Do Good Karma, God gives you Good Life (Good Life does not mean all material things, but peace of mind and his holy name and finally accept merger with that divine and pure soul), You Do bad and suffer for life. Meaning of Pain and Pleasures are different for all.

Like You use Car, If on Good Speed with all care, It last longs, If carelessly, It gives trouble again and again by breaking down.

at last I can say only, Life is not a video game which God is playing. I don't have enough wisdom to explain Purpose of God's Leela, But, Surely know that it is much more than that...................!

Without the grace of Baba, Still You can read, But will not be able to understand what it means, Won't be able to go beyond words, For this blessings of Baba is required, So If you do good karmas, Baba's blessings will be with you. As, I said, You have choice, God will not stop you, whatsoever you decide.

If I went to shirdi,With out baba's concern I am able to do it...

Yes, But not more than a tourist, Go see statue of baba, But where is Baba??

If I did any good thing,With out baba's concern can I do it?
Yes.

You know in depreciation there is rule things get Deteriorated either with usage or with time. So, Just in reverse side, Do Good Karmas and get the God soon, or keep on waiting life after life till the end of eternity.

Hemadpant closes the Chapter with a classification of disciples. He says that they are of three kinds : (1) First or best (2) Second or middling and (3) Third or ordinary. The best kind of disciples are those who guess what their Gurus want and immediately carry it out and serve them without waiting for an order from them. The average disciples are those who carry out the orders of their Masters to a letter, without any delay, and the third kind of disciples are those who go on postponing the carrying out of their orders and making mistakes at every step.

The disciples should have firm faith backed up by intelligence, and if they add patience to these, their spiritual goal will not be distant. Control of breath, ingoing and outgoing, or Hath-Yoga or other difficult practices are not at all necessary. When the disciples get the above mentioned qualities, they become ready for further instructions and the Masters then appear and lead them on, in their spiritual path to perfection.

Don’t worry Dear, sometimes it takes time. Your question is very big. I had to wait for answer of one very small question for many years, and I got the answer when I needed it most, came as a live saving drug in my life and put a great impact on my life. That was not  theoretical answer but in practical form.

and it happened only under Grace of Sai, So Just have patience and be firm on your faith. You will get absolute answer at most appropriate time in most understandable form.

OMSAIRAM!We learn from our Guru Sai baba that Truth ultiamtely triumphs  ;D

Sai deva accepted the pseudo Guru Jawahar Ali and transformed him  ;D

The Pseudo-Guru Javhar Ali

Five years after the wrestling bout mentioned above, one Fakir from Ahmednager by name Javhar Ali, came to Rahata with his disciples and stayed in Bakhal (spacious room) near Virabhadra temple. The Fakir was learned, could repeat the whole Koran and had a sweet tongue. Many religious and devout people of the village came to him and began to respect him. With the help of the people, he started to build an Idgah ( a wall before which Mahomedans pray on Idgah day), near the Virabhadra temple. There was some quarrel about this affair, on account of which, Javhar Ali had to leave Rahata. Then he came to Shirdi and lived in the Masjid with Baba. People were captured by his sweet talk, and he began to call Baba his disciple. Baba did not object and consented to be his Chela. Then both Guru and Chela decided to return to Rahata and live there. The Guru (Teacher) never knew his disciple’s worth, but the disciple knew the defects of the Guru, still he never disrespected him, observing carefully his duties. He even served the Master in various ways. They used to come to Shirdi off and on, but their main stay was in Rahata. The loving devotees of Baba in Shirdi did not like, that Baba should stay away from them in Rahata. So they went in a deputation to bring Baba back to Shirdi. When they met Baba near the Idgah and told the purpose for which they came, Baba said to them that the Fakir was an ill-tempered fellow, he would not leave him and that they should better return to Shirdi without him, before the Fakir returned. While they were thus talking, the Fakir turned up and was very angry with them for trying to take away his disciple. There was some discussion and altercation and it was finally decided that both the Guru and Chela should return to Shirdi. And so they returned and lived in shirdi. But after a few days the Guru was tested by Devidas and he was found wanting. Twelve years before Baba arrived in Shirdi with the marriage-party, this Devidas aged about 10 or 11 came to Shirdi and lived in the Maruti temple. Devidas had fine features and brilliant eyes, and he was dispassion incarnate and a Jnani. Many persons, namely Tatya Kote, Kashinath and others regarded, him as their Guru. They brought Javhar Ali in his presence, and in the discussion that followed, Javhar was worsted and fled from Shirdi. He went and stayed in Bijapur and returned after many years to Shirdi, and prostrated himself before Sai Baba. The delusion that he was Guru and Sai Baba his Chela, was cleared away, and as he repented, Sai Baba treated him with respect. In this case Sai Baba showed by actual conduct how one should get rid of egoism and do the duties of a disciple to attain the highest end, viz., self-realization. This story is told here according to the version given by Mhalsapati ( a great devotee of Baba).

The Goddess Of Truth Triumphs
There was a king who was extremely, extremely kind to his subjects, specially to the poor. He said to himself, "I am king. I have material wealth, but I have countless subjects to take care of. What can I do? They say a king can do anything, but it is not true. I am ready to give away everything that I have, but even then I will not be able to raise the standard of my kingdom."     


Since the king felt that he would not be able to help each and every one of his subjects, he decided that early in the morning he would stand outside his palace. From whomever he saw first, he would buy something. Every day somebody different would come, since the king had made a general announcement.     


This went on every day for years. The king would come out of his palace, and from whomever he saw first, he would buy something. If there were people behind that person, they would not be accepted -- only the very first one. No matter what the first one had brought or what price he asked for, the king would agree. He never argued. The king said, "I have to be kind-hearted. Whatever my subjects ask me for is according to their conscience. Whatever they ask from me, I will give."     


In this way it went on month after month, year after year. One day a very, very poor man came. He was extremely old. He had nothing important or valuable to sell. He said to himself, "I need money badly. I have become so poor in my old age. Let me see how kind the king is." With greatest difficulty he came and stood first in line early in the morning. His sandals and clothes were covered with dirt. The only thing he had to offer the king was a dirty, filthy cloth.     


The king asked him, "You have come to sell this?"     


The old man said, "Yes, this is my fate. It is the only thing I have to sell since I am so poor. If you do not give me money, soon I shall die."     


The king said, "No, I do not want you to die. Tell me the price."     


The old man named an exorbitant price.     


The king protested, "The price is so high!"     


The old man answered, "Yes, it is true. But if you give me the money, then I will be able to buy the things that I need and I will be able to eat."     


The king said, "Oh, you are right, you are right, you are right! Whatever you ask for, I am giving you."     


The king gave him the money, and the king was so pleased that he had been able to be of help to this poor man. The king was very happy and proud of his own generosity.     


That night the king had a dream. In his dream the Goddess Lakshmi came and said, "I am leaving you! You are squandering your wealth, giving it to poor men. I have made you very rich, and these people are just fooling you. So I am leaving you."     


The king said, "O Goddess, what can I do? This is the promise that I made. I want to keep my promise to buy from whoever brings something first. And I also made another promise that whatever price they ask, I will accept. The poor fellow this morning named an exorbitant price. I knew that his cloth was not worth anything, but I had to keep my promise."     


The Goddess Lakshmi said, "You keep your promise, since that is so important to you, but I do not want to stay with you." Then the Goddess Lakshmi, the Mother of wealth, left.     


Then came another goddess. This goddess told him, "My son, if you continue in this stupid way, then you will lose everything. If you lose your material wealth, then there will be no fame for you. Now you are rich. That is why you are famous. Once you lose your wealth, all your name and fame will disappear, so I do not want to stay with you." Then she, too, disappeared.     


A third goddess came and said, "I am the goddess of honesty, but I clearly see that you are so stupid. Because of your stupidity, people will only fool you and take advantage of you."     


The king said, "What am I going to do? I cannot break my promise."     


The goddess said, "I know, so I am leaving you." The third goddess also left.     


Then came the goddess of truth. This goddess started scolding the king most vehemently. She said, "Truth is one thing, but what about your wisdom? You are very kind-hearted and you have so many good qualities. But people will fool you and fool you if you do not exercise your wisdom. Then what kind of truth is that? You are only encouraging them to deceive you." The goddess of truth went on scolding the king.     


Finally the king said, "Mother, you are the goddess of truth. If you do not value me, who will value me? By remaining faithful to my promise, I am trying to be truthful. If truth is not valued in this world, then what will be valued?"     


 The goddess of truth gave the king a broad smile and blessed him profusely. She said, "I was examining you, my son. You are my dearest son. If I had more people like you, then this earth would be inundated with truth. Do not worry. I am never going to leave you. You will continue to keep your promise, and I will be there with you all the time to help you. Truth has to be maintained all the time at any cost."     


When the goddess of truth decided to stay forever, all the other goddesses came back. They said, "We know we will never be valued permanently. For some time wealth and honesty will be valued, but it will not last. But ultimately everybody will value truth. Truth will prevail."
     

 India's motto is "Truth ultimately prevails" (Satyam eva jayate). Truth will always win, so the best thing is to stay with truth.

Thanks Saib Ji.Thanks Lot for your time :)

Don’t worry Dear, sometimes it takes time. Your question is very big. I had to wait for answer of one very small question for many years, and I got the answer when I needed it most, came as a live saving drug in my life and put a great impact on my life. That was not  theoretical answer but in practical form.

and it happened only under Grace of Sai, So Just have patience and be firm on your faith. You will get absolute answer at most appropriate time in most understandable form.

May Sai Bless You!

om sri sai ram!

"You know in depreciation there is rule things get Deteriorated either with usage or with time. So, Just in reverse side, Do Good Karmas and get the God soon, or keep on waiting life after life till the end of eternity."

I am not saying this is wrong

"Yes, But not more than a tourist, Go see statue of baba, But where is Baba??"

I am not saying this is wrong

"Without the grace of Baba, Still You can read, But will not be able to understand what it means, Won't be able to go beyond words, For this blessings of Baba is required, So If you do good karmas, Baba's blessings will be with you. As, I said, You have choice, God will not stop you, whatsoever you decide."

I am not saying this is wrong


But that is not the answer to my question..Ok..leave it..Anyways that question is not stopping me to be with baba...

Thanks for you time...

Psychologists from the University of Exeter have identified an 'early warning signal' in the brain that helps us avoid repeating previous mistakes. Published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, their research identifies, for the first time, a mechanism in the brain that reacts in just 0.1 seconds to things that have resulted in us making errors in the past.


’This brain signal could help us in many different kinds of situations,’ said Professor Wills. ‘For example, when driving abroad the rules of the road sometimes differ. We may make a mistake the first time we misinterpret a situation, for example not realising that in the States cars can turn right on a red light. The next time we’re driving out there and see a red light, this early warning signal will immediately alert us to our previous mistake to prevent us from repeating it.’

Thanks Dipika Ji for such great messages and stories. It gives very valuable lessons and show the way sometimes and remove doubts from the mind.

What we learn from our Mistakes....  

It happens only when Master (or Guru) is with us, otherwise First it is very difficult to realize what mistake we are committing, If one Yogi is performing one particular aasana, and he is not aware about breathing, He will keep on practicing year after year, but will never realize, He is doing something wrong until one day Master appears and teach him right technique. Similarly in Martial Arts if you practice with opponent and when you hurt, You can realize what mistake you have committed, alone it might take years or even many lives.

Blessed are those who gets the chance to recognize and rectify their mistake, otherwise in our Ego we never find easy to accept we are committing a mistake.

It happens only with blessings of Guru or with Time!

May Sai Bless You and All!

OMSAIRAM!It's all BABA's leelas  ;D

“There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.”
 Buddha quotes
 
“A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.”
 Buddha quotes
 
Sai baba says..."He, who carps and cavils at others, pierces Me in the heart and injures Me, but he that suffers and endures, pleases Me most" - Chapter 44.

Once it so happened that, a Bhakta of Baba, reviled someone behind his back before other people. Leaving aside merits he dwelt on the faults of his brother and spoke so sarcastically that, the hearers were disgusted. Generally we see that, people have a tendency to scandalize others unnecessarily and this brings on ill-feelings. Sai Baba knew this and when He met slanderer at noon, near Lendi, Baba pointed out to him a pig, that was eating filth near the fence and said to him, "Behold, how, with what relish it is gulping filth. Your conduct is similar. You go on reviling your own brethren to your heart's content. After performing many deeds of merit you are born as a human and if you act like this, how can Shirdi help you in anyway?" Needless to say that the Bhakta took the lesson to his heart and went away. - Chapter 19.

A pleader from Pandharpur unnecessarily indulged in discussion regarding sub-judge Noolkar's coming and staying at Shirdi for cure of his ill-health. When the pleader went to Shirdi, Sai Baba said, "How cunning people are! They fall at the feet, offer dakshina, but inwardly give abuses behind the back. Is not this wonderful?" The pleader understood that the remark was aimed at himself, and being convinced, later said to Kakasaheb Dixit, "This is not a rebuke to me but a favour and advice that I should not indulge in any scandal or slander of others and not interfere unnecessarily in others' affairs".

"A beggar had been sitting by the side of the road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by.
"Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his baseball cap.
"I have nothing to give you," said the stranger. Then he added, "What's that you are sitting on?"
"Nothing," replied the beggar, "Just ...an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember."
"Ever look inside?" asked the stranger.
"What's the point? There's nothing in there."
"Have a look inside," insisted the stranger.
The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw the box was filled with gold."~Eckhart Tole

sometimes we all need strangers to make us realize our strengths

Buddha Dhammapada Stories


Once there was a Gem Polisher whose family offered almsfood to a certain monk every day. One morning as the monk was entering their house to accept his almsfood, a messenger from the king’s palace arrived with a giant ruby for the gem polisher to work on.

As the gem polisher had been in the kitchen handling some raw meat when the messenger arrived, the stone was wet with blood when he put it on a table before going into the kitchen to get some food for the monk.

Their pet bird, in the meantime, thinking that the blood-stained ruby was something to eat, picked it up and swallowed it before the monk could prevent it from doing so. When the gem polisher came back into the room, he immediately noticed that the ruby was gone.

He asked his wife and son, and then the monk, if they had taken it, but they all said no. The gem polisher assumed it must have been the monk since he was the last one seen in the room with the ruby.

He decided to beat the truth out of the monk, but his wife, would not let him do it. She warned him that the consequences of causing harm to a noble one would be
worse than the punishment he could possibly receive from the king.

The gem polisher, however, was too furious to listen to his wife. He tied up the monk and beat him severely until blood started flowing from his head. Attracted by the sight of the blood, the curious bird flew toward the monk, where it received a stray blow and fell dead. Only then, did the monk tell the gem polisher that it was the bird that had swallowed the ruby.

The gem polisher quickly cut open the bird and found that the monk was indeed telling him the truth. Realizing his mistake, he trembled with fear and pleaded for the monk’s forgiveness. The monk replied that he felt no ill will toward him for it was a debt that had to be repaid due to mistakes in his past lives.  

The monk then succumbed to his wounds and died, passing away into Parinibbana since he was already an arahat. When the gem polisher himself died, he was reborn in hell. As for his wife, she was reborn in one of the deva worlds.

Some are reborn as human beings, the wicked are reborn in hell, the righteous
are reborn in heaven, and those free from defilements pass away into Nibbana.
