Let me grow for now
A sparrow was pecking at a seed that she has picked up from the village courtyard. The seed slipped from here beak and fell on the ground. The sparrow searched and searched for the lost seed, but in vain. She flew away to find another seed.
A few days later it rained in the village and the land was wet. The seed that the sparrow had lost grew into a tiny plant.
A squirrel moving and leaping friskily in the village courtyard saw the green sprout and came to explore. It smelled good. The squirrel was about to nibble it when the seedling spoke, “Don’t eat me now, dear squirrel, let me grow”. The squirrel went away in search of something else to eat.
The seedling grew day in and day out, soaking sunshine and taking nourishment from the soil. Soon it was a lush green bush.
A village goat searching for food wandered near the bush to feed on it. But the bush begged earnestly with the goat, “Be patient, my friend. Leave me alone for now”. The goat moved away in another direction.
The bush grew into a small tree. A woman who wanted some firewood saw the small tree and said to herself.” Why go far? I will cut a few branches of this tree itself”. But when she came near the tree, it said.” Don’t cut me now. Wait till I am bigger”. The woman collected firewood from another place.
Soon the tree had grown as high as the sky itself. Its branches had spread far an wide. Squirrels and sparrows played about and settled comfortably in the safety of its crown as in a nest. They ate its delicious flowers, fruits and seeds. A whole herd of goats now fed on its green juicy leaves. The dry branches that fell from the tree became a continual source of firewood for the women. In the shade of the tree villagers found comfort from the scorching heat of the Sun. The tree too lived happily in the company of all these friends who defended on it, and on whom it had once depended for its survival.
Symbol of Holy Life
Youn bubbling brook,
Behold its sparkling drops!
It is symbol of holy life,
Ever new, ever flowing, ever fresh.
For it springeth from an unfailing source , ever fresh and ever new.
The worth of a thing is known by the want of it.
All true happiness is an inner experience.
Life is a continuous flow of experiences.
An honest man is the noblest work of God.
The word which God has written on the brow of every man is Hope.
Give the world the best that you have and the best will come to you.
No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.

I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the ten minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha
