Be Thankful

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Everyone is weak at something or the other in his life. This is a story

about a boy who was dull in Maths. He used to fail in Maths. One fine

day, he was praying to God, "Please see that I get good marks in Maths

this time". He promised God that he would offer laddu and payasam. He

learnt only some important questions. As he appeared for the test,

"Wow!" he found those questions, which he had prepared for. His joy knew

no bounds. He wrote the test well and he was left with plenty of time.

He thought he would write down the ingredients for preparing laddu and

payasam and expenditure budget. He wrote down all the items required

and started deleting all of them one by one, thinking that there was no

need to buy all those items and waste a lot of money. After a while he

struck off everything and thought "Why should I make something, God will

not eat anyway, so I will just offer some flowers." In Bhagavad Gita it

is mentioned that God is content with Pushapam, Phalam or Toyam. Then

the invigilator came and asked for the papers .He gave the paper and

came back home. The next day he got his results he was shocked to see

zero in his paper. Then he verified the paper and observed that by

mistake he had given the paper in which he had written about the

ingredients and brought the answer paper home.

 

So, he realized that we should not fool God.

 

 

Best wishes
