When I asked God By Swami Vivekananda

When I Asked God for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face

When I Asked God for Brain & Brown
He Gave Me Puzzles in life to Solve

When I Asked God for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People

When I Asked God for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Favour
He Showed Me opportunities to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others

God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed

Good Learning

One day a fisherman got up very early in the morning.

There was not enough sunlight to get into the sea.

He saw a pack of stones to pass time.

He started throwing the stone into the sea.

While having the last stone in the hand,
the sun came up then he saw that the stone was a diamond.

He felt for his misfortune of throwing all of them into the sea...


Moral of the story:
*********************
Do not get up early in the morning... ;-)

Sometimes, Missing is more precious than being together…

Because, we miss only those people whom we never want to MISS …..

Best Friends..

Achyutam Keshavam Bhajan

Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram,

Rama naraynam Janakivallabham,

(praising the Lord Krishna, with different names of Vishnu)

Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan aate nahi

Bhakta Meera ke jaise bulate nahi,

(Who says God does not come? You don’t call Him with the devotion of Meera)

Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan khaate nahi,

Ber Shabri ke jaise khilate nahi, … Achyutam …

(Who says God does not eat? You don’t feed him like how Shabari fed him)

Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan Sote nahi,

Maa Yashoda ke jaise sulate nahin,

(Who says God does not sleep? You don’t make him sleep like how Mother Yashoda did)

Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan naachte nahi,

Tum Gopi ke jaise nachaate nahin, Achyutam…

(Who says God does not dance? You don’t make him dance like how Gopis did)

Naam Japate chalo kaam karte chalo

Har samay Krishna ka dhyaan karte chalo

Yaad aayegi unko kabhi na kabhi

Krishan darshan to denge kabhi na kabhi …..Achyutam …

(Keep praising the Lord, continue working ... Remember Him all the time. Krishna will appear one day or the other)

Drop of water

If a drop of water falls on lake, it loses its identity. If it falls on a rose, it shines. If it falls on a shell, it becomes a pearl. The drop is the same, but the company matters.....
