Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Read the following mail. Your faith in god will become strong. =================================================================================== Foot - Prints One night a man had a dream. He dreamed that he was walking along a beach with God. Across the sand flashed the scenes of his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of foot-prints in the sand : one belonging to him & the other to the god. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the foot-prints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life, there was only one set of foot-prints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest & saddest times of his life. This really bothered him & he questioned God about it : " God, you said that once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that in my most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of foot-prints, I don't understand why? When I wanted you most, you would leave me" God replied; " My son, my precious child, I love you & I would never leave you. During your times of trouble & suffering, when you have seen only one set of foot-prints, it was then that I carried you" =================================================================================== Regards, Ashwin Send FREE video emails in Mail.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 OM SRI GURAVE NAMAH ----------------------------- Dear Ashwin Namaskar Yes, this is the famous " footprints in the sands" story. In one my cloudy periods of spiritual life, this story has given me comfort. It was almost 15 years ago. The story was printed in a booklet published from Sri Aurobindo Ashram. It gave me great peace . There Is a small message of The Mother, which is relevant in this context. For the God-loving members of the list, I am giving it here. DON'T FORGET THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE. THE DIVINE IS WITH YOU , HELPING AND GUIDING YOU. HE IS THE COMPANION WHO NEVER FAILS, THE FRIEND WHOSE LOVE COMFORTS AND STRENGTHENS. HAVE FAITH, AND HE WILL DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 Nice to know it helped u in your bad days I recently read this in one of the books. Even i am going through a very rough patch in my life and Believe me this small story gave me a BIG relief - It came as cold water shower in the hot summer for me. Even your wordings are nice & brings back the courage to fight the situation.
