Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 4 Sponges There are 4 sponges sitting by your kitchen sink. Each member of your family has been cleaning up different areas of your home, but all the sponges outwardly look the same. You are curious as to what was cleaned in your home, but you cannot tell by looking...they all look the same...so what do you do? You squeeze each sponge to see what comes out. As you squeeze the first sponge, you see that cola comes out, and so you decide that someone cleaned the kitchen with that one. Upon squeezing the second sponge, you find tub and tile cleaner …. so, that one was used to clean the bathroom. Next, in the third sponge, you find motor oil ….. ahaa….the hubby was cleaning the garage! And finally, the last one contains the floor wax ….. the one you used on the hall floor! As you lay the last one down, you look again at their similarity and how they all look the same until they are squeezed. We too are the same way. As life squeezes us, different things come out ….. anger from one, a need for revenge from another, tears from one, remorse from yet another ……. also greed, untruth, lust, etc. etc. and finally, from one, pours forth….. the love of God!! Just like the sponge, we can only squeeze out what is put in. So if we too learn to stay in love and harmony …… and be in continuous prayer; when life puts the squeeze on us (and it surely will); Baba, and only Baba …….will shine forth from us! Have a blessed, squeaky clean day! Duty is God, Work is Worship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
