Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 OM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAH AMMA SAYS - STORY Immense Care There was a boy who had never done any work in his life. His father was a coconut tree climber by profession. One day the boy's father died. After his death, all the people would still come and call the son to pluck the coconuts from their tree. But, what to do? He did not know coconut tree climbing. This boy could find no other way to earn a living so he decided to try to learn to climb coconut trees. This has to be learned with great care. If he happens to fall, his arms and legs will be broken. Afterwards it will not be possible to climb any coconut trees. His life will also be wasted. Therefore, with great care he tried to climb a coconut tree. Placing each foot with utmost care and embracing the tree tightly, he could climb a little ways and then come down. The next day, he could climb little higher. As a result of several days' effort, he learned coconut tree climbing. Through practice, he was able to ascend and descend the tree very quickly. "Children, a sadhak should be like that. Only God-Realization is lif's goal. If immense care is not taken, we will slip and fall." :: AMMA SHARANAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
