Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 HELP FROM UNKNOWN “I should always remain meek and humble” –Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch.II. The great German philanthropist, Oberlin, was one day caught in a blinding snow-storm. He could not see a thing in front of him. He cried out for help but his shrieks were lost in the angry wind. Exhausted, he dropped down unconscious on the snow. A peasant happened to pass by and, finding a fellow human lying unconscious on the snow, carried him in his arms to the warmth of his hut. The Oberlin revived. Looking into the eyes of his saviour, he said, “You have saved my life. I want to give you a rich reward.” “A reward? What for?” asked the peasant in surprise. “I saw a fellow human being in distress and brought him to my hut. I have only done my duty.” “At least tell me your name,” pleaded Oberlin. The peasant smiled, “Tell me, friend is the name of the Good Samaritan mentioned anywhere in the Bible?” Oberlin pondered for a minute, and then answered, “No, it is not.” “Then,” said the peasant, “let me withhold mine.” TAMASO MA JYOTIRGAMAYA….. My body may be sick and my physical heart may not function properly. But within my soul, the spiritual heart, dwels the Spirit of God who ever healeth and blesseth! Each day, this Spirit is renewing my body, my mind, my heart. And I feel strong and radiant and serenely happy! Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. Learn more.
