Beautiful.. where do u get all these little stories.. I’m reading and they make me think wow.. thank u

Pen Jee,

there is something called sharing.

Some of my friends, do share these stories with me,  others, I do find by my own.

But in the end, it is all comes to sharing the goodness  one gets/finds, which, I also share here on this forum of Sikh Sangat.

Sat Sree Akal.

The difference in being a devotee or a manmukh

 

Once there were two friends, one was a god oriented devotee, and the other one, was a manmukh.

Their friendship was deep, but the devotee believed in god, while the manmukh did not.

The devotee would wake up early in the morning, take a bath and recite the holy hymns, while the manmukh would still be in bed sound asleep.

Once they were traveling through a forest. As they were passing through the forest, the manmukh found a bag of coal.         He was very happy, because he could sell it and make some money. As they further walked while talking about how lucky the manmukh was to find the bag of coal, the devotee screamed with pain.

It appeared that a splinter went in the devotee´s foot. While he was in pain,  the manmukh started laughing.

The devotee was surprised, and asked him why was he laughing?

The manmukh said, “You have been worshipping God everyday and what you got as a result, is a splinter in your foot. While I have never worshipped God and I still got a bag full of coal.”

An old wise man happened to be passing by when he heard manmukh’s comments.

The old man had a big ironic smile on his face. The manmukh was astonished, when he saw the old man smile.

So the manmukh asked the old man about the reason for his smile.

The old man replied, “You are naïve. You do not worship God. You were destined to find a bag of diamonds today if you have been worshipping God.

And you bhagat devotee, you were destined to die at the moment you got the splinter in your foot.

But because you have been worshipping God, the pain of death, simply turned into a splinter.”

एक मिट्टी की मूर्तियां बनाने वाला  (कुम्हार) ईश्वर से कहता है....._     
⚘_"हे प्रभु तू भी एक कलाकार है और मैं भी एक कलाकार हूँ,_   
⚘_तूने मुझ जैसे असंख्य पुतले बनाकर इस धरती पर भेजे हैं,_
⚘_और मैंने तेरे असंख्य पुतले बना कर इस घरती पर बेचे हैं।_ 
⚘_पर ईश्वर उस समय बड़ी शर्म आती है, जब तेरे बनाये हुए पुतले आपस में लड़ते हैं_, 
⚘_और मेरे बनाये हुए  पुतलों के सामने लोग शीश झुकाते हैं"_..     ??

MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL

WORK FOR A CAUSE

NOT FOR APPLAUSE

LIVE LIFE TO EXPRESS

NOT TO IMPRESS

DO NOT STRIVE

TO MAKE YOUR PRESENCE NOTICED

JUST MAKE YOUR ABSENCE FELT

 

 

RELEASE  THE EXPECTATIONS

HOW MUCH TIME &

ENERGY WE WASTE

IN ASKING PEOPLE TO CHANGE

WAITING FOR THEM TO CHANGE

UPSET BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CHANGE?

INVEST A LITTLE TIME

AND ENERGY

IN TEACHING YOUR OWN MIND TO

RELEASE THE EXPECTATIONS

 

 

 

SELF IMPROVEMENT

I AM IN COMPETITION WITH NO ONE

I RUN MY OWN RACE

I HAVE NO DESIRE IN BEING BETTER

THAN ANYONE

IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM

I JUST AIM TO IMPROVE

TO BE BETTER

THAN I WAS BEFORE

THAT IS ME

AND I AM FREE.

 

 

COURAGE

KEEP YOUR DREAMS ALIVE

UNDERSTAND TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING

REQUIRES FAITH AND BELIEF IN YOURSELF

VISION, HARD WORK

DETERMINATION AND DEDICATION

REMEMBER ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE

 

 

 

[harsharan000]

 

STAYING  PURE

Asceticisim does not lie is ascetic robes,

in a walking staff or in ashes

Asceticism does not lie in the earring

or in the shaven head

nor does it lie

in blowing a conch.

Asceticism lies

in staying pure

amidst impurities.

 

[harsharan000]

 

 

ENCOURAGEMENT

DONT FEEL LOW

WHEN SOMEONE  DOUBTS YOUR CALIBER.

JUST BE PROUD OF YOURSELF

BECAUSE

THE PEOPLE ALAWYS DOUBT THE GOLD

FOR ITS PURITY

NOT THE IRON.

Overthinking :

The art of creating problems that weren't even there."

Maturity:

is learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten your peace of mind, self-respect, values, morals or self worth.
"Sometimes walking away is the only option.

Not because you want to make someone miss you,

or realize they took you for granted.

But because

you finally respect yourself enough

to know that you deserve better."

 

About expectations
"When you learn to accept instead of expect,

you will have fewer disappointments."
