A CUP OF TEA.....

Once upon a time there was a bright student of Indian Scriptures. He wanted to become more and more learned. One day he came to know about the great Buddh Guru. He went to him. He introduced him and told the purpose of his visit. Buddh Guru smiled and welcomed the student. He asked about his wellness. Then Buddh Guru started asking him about his past knowledge. The student described all what he has learned and told that he has acquired knowledge about almost everything.

Little later the Guru asked one of his helper to bring some tea. He got tea in a big pot and two cup-plates. The boy started to make the tea but the Guru stopped him.

The Guru asked the student to hold a cup plate so that he can pour tea into it. The student did the same. The Guru started to pour tea in his cup. The cup got filled with tea but the Guru continued to pour tea in it. The tea started to fell in the plate. The guru still continued to pour the tea. The student wondered, “What is happening?”

When the tea started coming out from the plate also then the student told his Guru that the cup is full. It cannot hold more tea now. The Guru stopped pouring the tea and told his student with a smile, “ Son, your case is also similar to this. We need an empty cup to pour the tea similarly the mind has to be open to accept the knowledge. You should be free from all pre-notions about the knowledge acquired and pride. If you are already filled with what you have learned where will my teachings be accepted. It will flow out of your mind like the tea and it will go waste.”

MORALE:

TO RECEIVE KNOWLEDGE THE BRAIN HAS TO BE FREE FROM BONDAGES AND OPEN TO ACCEPT THE NEW KNOWLEDGE.

I KNOW AND MY GOD KNOWS....

Once upon a time there was very intelligent and religious person. For the people of his town he was getting a temple built on his own land. He use to visit the place of construction regularly and observe the people doing their respective jobs. Once he saw that an artist was carving a sculpture of the GOD. Suddenly he saw that at some distance a similar sculpture was lying on the floor. He wondered and asked the artist “Do you need two sculptures of the same GOD?”

The artist replied, “No, I need only one sculpture, but the first one got damaged in its last finish, so I am making the other one.”

The wise man went near to that damaged sculptor and tried to find out what might have wrong with it. After a very long observation he saw a small scratch, almost negligible, near the nose of the sculpture.

He asked the artist, “Where will you keep this sculpture?”

The artist answered, “ On a 20 feet high pillar.”

“No body would be able to make out this scratch from such a height” the wise man said.

The artist looked at the wise man with a smile and said, “I know and my GOD knows that.”

MORALE: 

The inner consciousness knows the right thing and always wants to achieve it.

Inspiring Story - "FLIGHT OF SWANS"

Whenever you see the group of swans flying in the sky in “V” shape, you might think why they fly in a particular shape? Earlier no body knew the reason for this shape. Now the science has solved this mystery. 

Whenever any swan open and moves his wings to take a fly, this helps the other swan to take up the flight. Like this when the entire group fly in a “V” shape the efficiency of the speed goes up by 71% as compare to the speed of one single swan. 

This is why the intelligent swans fly in “V” shape. If any swan tries to get away from that shape, he starts feeling the stress and resistance, so he don’t fly alone. Hence, this swan set back to his own group to take the benefit of group synergy. 

When the leader of the group gets tried, he comes back by folding his wings and another swan takes the place of the leader. They also make a particular sound while flying as to motivate the swans flying in the front. When some one gets hurt or not well, he start to fall out from the group, to help him immediately other two swans also leaves the group and come down with him. They stay with him till he recovers back or he dies. Then, go back to their group or join some other group in the sky. 

MORALE:  

THE NATURE HAS GIVEN INTELLEGENCE TO THESE SWANS. WE SHOULD LEARN THE TEAM WORK, POWER OF UNION AND ONENESS FROM THEM.
