...in the realm of the relative nothing is what it seems Sri Sutrananda

[Guest guest]

Sri Sutrananda says, " that in the realm of the relative nothing is

what it seems. "

 

 

 

To help you understand here is a little story:

 

 

 

 

 

Two Traveling Angels:

 

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy

family.

The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's

guest room.

Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As

they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the

wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel

replied, " things aren't always what they seem. "

 

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but

very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they

had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a

good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels

found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had

been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was

infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?

The first man had everything, yet you helped him, he accused. The second

family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the

cow die! " Things aren't always what they seem, " the older angel

replied.

 

" When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold

stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with

greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he

wouldn't find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmers' bed,

the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead; things

aren't always what they seem. "

 

Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the

way you think they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust

that every outcome is always to your advantage. You just might not know

it until some time later...
