YOU HAVE COME TO THE WRONG ADDRESS

 

A Rabbi was delivering his lectures on the Torah, the sacred Hebrew

scripture, to a few young Jewish students. One day in the course of

their studies, they came across a line which said, " The truly

evolved person is only he, who continues to smile in the midst of

the greatest of difficulties. "

 

The young students had a problem in accepting this statement at its

face value. " If we are truly in difficulty, how is it possible for

us to smile under such conditions? " they asked the Rabbi.

 

The Rabbi took off his spectacles and looked at his young pupils

thoughtfully. " To be perfectly honest with you, " he said, " I myself

cannot answer that question. The truth is that I, too, cannot smile

when I am in the midst of difficulties. At such moments, I seem to

forget how to smile. "

 

Silence prevailed in the class as the teacher and the students

pondered over the issue. The Rabbi continued after a

pause, " However, I believe there is someone who can give you the

answer. " He proceeded to tell his students of an old man who lived

in their city, not far from the synagogue. He had been an abandoned

child – an orphan. When he grew up, both his legs were paralyzed in

an accident. His life had been a series of struggles, a saga of pain

and suffering. " And yet, " concluded the rabbi, " he always wears a

lovely smile! He is a wonderful human being. You must go to him and

ask him to answer our question. "

 

The students were amazed to hear of this brave man. In a group, they

went and knocked at his door. The door was opened by the man

himself – moving briskly on a wheel-chair. He welcomed the young

students cordially, and asked them the purpose of their visit.

 

" Sir, It's this text we are discussing in the class, " said one of

them hesitantly. " It's all about how one must continue to smile

amidst the greatest of difficulties in life. The Rabbi told us that

you were the best person to talk to. " " Tell us please, sir, " added

another. " How do you continue to smile amidst so much pain and

suffering? "

 

" I'm afraid you've come to the wrong address! " replied the old man,

with genuine surprise. " I am middle aged, and in all these years I

have never had to face any difficulty! The Lord has always been good

to me, and protected me in His mercy. How can I teach you how to

smile in the midst of difficulties? " This was indeed a man who lived

in close proximity with God!

 

In times of difficulties, don't ever say, " God, I have a big

problem! " Instead say, " Hey problem, I have a big God! " and

everything will be all right by Sai's Grace & Blessings the way we want.
