An interesting thought of the day

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge

feather Cross my back terrace. Several times it was confronted by

obstacles in its Path and after a momentary pause it would make the

necessary detour. At one point the ant had to negotiate a crack in

the concrete about 10mm wide. After brief contemplation the ant laid

the feather over the crack, Walked across it and picked up the

feather on the other side then continued on its way. I was fascinated

by the ingenuity of this ant, one of God's smallest creatures. It

served to reinforce the miracle of creation. Here was a minute

insect, lacking in size yet equipped with a brain to reason, Explore,

discover and overcome. But this ant, like the two-legged co-residents

of this planet, also shares human failings. After some time the ant

finally reached its destination - a flower bed at the end of the

terrace and a small hole that was the entrance to its underground

home. And it was here that the ant finally met its match. How could

that large feather possibly fit down small hole? Of course it

couldn't. So the ant, after all this trouble and exercising great

ingenuity, Overcoming problems all along the way just abandoned the

feather and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through

before it began its epic journey And in the end the feather was

nothing more than a burden.

 

Isn't OUR LIFE like that?

 

We worry about our family; we worry about money or the lack of it, We

worry about work, about where we live, about all sorts of things.

These are all burdens - the things we pick up along life's path and

lug them around the Obstacles and over the crevasses that life will

bring, Only to find that at the destination they are useless and we

can't take them with US......

Gurur Devoh Maheshwar;

Gurur Shakshat Parambramha

Tashmai Shri Gurur Veh Namah"

May the Merciful Sri Sai Baba always shower His grace on us and our

families and remove our problems and anxieties by giving us all -

strength, goodluck, success and happiness with peace of mind.

Sai bhakt,
