Radhe Krishna To All,Good morning to all of u and have a divine blessed day ahead ….."There

are four Notorious thieves who are already inside your body in order to

snatch away your Jewel called "Wisdom" (do not bother about thieves

coming from outside). They are Kama,Anger,Greed and Delusion. Wake up, wake up." ----- A Quote from

Gita---------------------------- All for Good Long ago, there was a kingdom in a far away land. The king had an able minister who helped him in his administration.The minister was a god-loving individual. He had this queer habit.

Whenever something happened, good or bad, he would say, 'God did it only for good'.One

evening, on the dinner table, the minister was sharing dinner with the

king. As they were engrossed in discussion, the king, while cutting

fruits, accidentally chopped off one of his finger. The king screamed

in pain and it bled profusely. The royal doctor was immediately

summoned.Seeing this, the minister, without losing his calm,

said, 'God has done this only for good.'. No sooner did the king hear

this than he went mad with fury. He yelled, 'How sadistic! Here I am

writhing in excruciating pain, and you feel happy for this? I'm

suffering and you say it is for good? Have you gone crazy? Are you

making fun of me?'Hearing this, the minister remained calm and repeated, 'God has done this only for good.'The king's anger knew no heights. He immediately ordered the minister to be imprisoned.Orders

given, the guards rushed in to shackle the minister. While they took

the minister to jail, the minister, without the least excitement or

jitter, repeated, 'God is doing this also only for good.' The king

thought this guy must have lost his mind. 'How can imprisonment be for

good? He must have turned lunatic'.The

next day, the king went to the forest for hunting. He ventured deep

into the forest not realizing that he had crossed his country's

borders. He had lost his way. Suddenly a host of tribal folk surrounded

him. They were performing a worship. Their rites and rituals called for

a human sacrifice and they were on the lookout for one. They caught the

king and took him for sacrifice. The king pleaded and begged. He used

all the tricks in the book to escape from this wild mob, but in vain.It

was a noisy scene. The monstrous tribals were dancing around singing

songs and the king was tied to a tree in the center. The chief priest

among the tribals came and chanted some Mantras. He got the king ready

for the sacrifice. Just then he noticed that the king had a finger

missing. He realized that the king had a defect in his body and hence

was not qualified for the sacrifice. Deeming him unfit, they let go of

the king.It

was a second life for the king! He was happy that he was left alive and

rushed back to his kingdom. As soon as he returned to his palace, he

ordered the release of his minister and begged pardon for his act.He

said, 'Had my finger not been chopped off yesterday, I wouldn't have

been alive here by now. Those ruthless tribals would have sacrificed me

to their god! Now I understand. God did that for my own good!'The

king continued, 'But I am still confused! I ordered to put you in jail

and you said, that was for good too! I don’t understand that.'The minister replied, 'Oh My Majesty! Do I not usually accompany you when you go hunting? Imagine what would have happened had I

joined you yesterday? Because you were unfit for the sacrifice, I would have been the scapegoat!'Then it struck the king’s mind, 'God does everything for good'.What

ever happens in our life, pleasant or unpleasant, always happens for

good. We may think it as good or bad. But who knows the future? If we

have strong faith in God, we can understand that whatever happens is

only according to His wish, and He will never do anything bad to us or

go wrong.-- NAMA YATRA: Gudiyatham Mass Prayer - Nov 09 - Part-2
