Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Dear Kariji : This one is for you my friend: A Biology teacher asks students to observe a catterpillar metamorphosing into a butterfly and not to touch it during the process.The teacher leaves the classroom after giving instructions. The students while observing the metamorphosis see the butterfly stugguling to come out of the cocoon.Out of compassion they assist the butterfly but the butterfly dies. The teacher comes back and asks the student why this happened. They answer "we do not know we only try to help the butterfly emerge from the cocoon". The teacher said look, the struggle of the butterfly while emerging from the cocoon strengthens its wings and by bypassing this process you killed the butterfly. "Yes.Kariji struggles are not as bad as we think them to be and its is god's way of making us stronger and making us grow to finally be close to him and reach him one day. Your positive attitude is just wonderful and has encouraged me to tackle my own with a new prespective. Om Nama Shivaya Vipin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
