Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 SALUTE TO MOTHERS “Let us enjoy the heavenly bliss, devoid of pride and be contented within.†– Shri Sai Samartha Satcharita, Ch. 27, Ovi 193. There was a little boy who longed to visit the very edge of the world, where he believed, heaven and earth met. Often, as he sat at the window of his humble cottage, he could see the horizon where the sun set and it seemed to him that it was so beautiful! One day, with his eyes firmly fixed on the horizon where the earth and heaven seemed to meet, he set out to get there. He walked on and on; he seemed to have lost his way as evening came, and found himself in a valley, where the horizon was no longer visible. Dispirited and tired, he knocked at the door of a cottage. A kind woman opened the door. He told her of his quest and begged her to direct him to the place where heaven met earth. “There it is,†she said, pointing to a spot at a distance. “But do hurry, for it will soon be dark.†The boy hurried up the slope of a hill following her directions, and all of a sudden, he was at the door of his own home, where his mother stood smiling, with open arms, to receive him. And, just in front of the his doorstep was the magnificent view of the horizon, where the sun set presented a glorious sight. “My own home,†the little boy thought to himself. “Now I know this is the place where heaven and earth meet!†Never miss a thing.
