Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 OM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAH AMMA SAYS - STORY Mind your eggs A woman was on her way to the market carrying a basket of eggs on her head. As she walked along the road she began to daydream: "I will get a good price for these eggs. With the money I can buy a few more hens. Those hens will lay so many eggs that I will soon be able to buy a cow. That cow will produce so much milk that before long I can afford to buy several cows. From the money I get from all that milk I shall buy a farm. The farm will make me so rich that I will be able to buy a beautiful mansion. By then I will be so rich that many young men will be after me. When I meet them on the street, I will wiggle my hips and walk like this......" "As the woman wiggled her hips, the basket fell from her head and all the eggs lay broken on the ground". "Children, you can plan your future on the basis of the experiences you have had and the lessons you have learnt from the past, but you don't have to dwell in the past or the future." "You can plan your dinner, but not while preparing your lunch. Don't think about how much salt you will use in tonight's meal while adding salt to the soup you are cooking now. And don't regret that the soup you made yesterday was not a success. Just concentrate on the soup that is boiling on the stove at this moment. You want it to be healthy and delicious. don't you? So be alert and conscious of this moment." :: AMMA SHARANAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
