The foolish frog

[Guest guest]

The foolish frog? The

throat of a snake is only as thick as a needle. So when it catches a

prey, it takes a tremendously long time to ingest it. The snake does

not use its tongue to kill its prey. This is because the venom present

in its tongue could prove detrimental to itself. So it only crushes the

prey and ingests it. When

a frog is caught in the jaws of a snake, it sits there for an extremely

long time (until it is consumed via the snake's throat) alive, not

knowing that it is truly in the jaws of death. In the mean time, the

frog happily sticks out its tongue and tries to catch the flies and

insects to satiate its hunger!Similarly, we are all in the jaws of the snake called

death. This venomous snake consumes us instant by instant. We have lost

as much percentage of our life to death as our age is! Oblivious of

this fact, we indulge in worldly matters and mundane pleasures akin to

the foolish frog. Should

we not be afraid of death? Should we not make the best use of our time

and surrender unto the Lord by chanting His Name always? -- With Love,Ganesh BabaMy Group: Kriyababa_spiritualjourney- (Send a blank email)
