God: *I am sorry but, it’s time to go*

Man: What do you have in that suitcase?

God: *Your belongings*

Man: My belongings? You mean my things... Clothes... money...

God; *Those things were never yours, they belong to the Earth*

Man: Is it my memories?

God: *No. They belong to Time*

God: *No. They belong to Circumstance*

Man: Is it my friends and family?

God: *No son. They belong to the Path you travelled*

Man: Is it my wife and children?

God: *No. they belong to your Heart*

THE ARROGANT GREEN LEAF

A Short Moral Story.

One sunny afternoon, a green leaf fell off his tree mother. He stood up and looked at himself with astonishment— He was shiny and bright, deep in color, and had no spots. He was perpetually amazed at how healthy he looked.

As the green leaf turned around, he saw a yellow leaf lying helplessly on the ground beside him. He said to him with mocking laughter,

"Oh, poor thing! You are yellow and full of brown spots. You know, you're already fading away! It only means that you will die soon! As for me, I'm still fresh, thick and healthy. I will live a long and happy life!"

The yellow leaf said in a weak and sad whisper,
"Please, can you bring me back to health? I feel like my life is slipping away."

The green leaf laughed out loud, ridiculing him and saying,
"Back to health? Of course not! I can only help hold a nice funeral for you! Hahaha!"

Upon saying that, the green leaf forcefully picked up the poor yellow leaf, and took him to the palace, and said to the king,
"Your Majesty, I am healthy, strong and beautiful. In fact, I am the best leaf in the whole world. But unlike me, this yellow leaf is shamefully fading away and will die soon. Let's hold a funeral for him!"

The king paused for a moment, then said,
"Okay, we would arrange a funeral for the yellow leaf. How many coffins do we need to get?"

The green leaf chirped,
"Just one! One for him!"

The king nodded his head in understanding. However, he called his servant and whispered something into his ear, ordering him to get two coffins. The servant left and returned shortly with two coffins.

Surprised, the green leaf whistled,
"No, no, no. It seems you didn't hear me clearly, Your Majesty. I said 'one coffin'. We need just one coffin for the yellow leaf!"

The king smiled and said,
"I heard you clearly the first time, but we need two coffins. One coffin is for the yellow leaf, and one is for you. Don't you know that you will become shriveled and die soon too? You are so proud of your beauty and strength that you forgot you will become weak and dry very soon. A green leaf that laughs at the yellow leaf should know that it's just a matter of time, it will also turn yellow. Now, it would be wise if we reserve you a coffin for your own funeral!"

People always forget that no one can live forever. Every one and every thing will be gone one day. The beauty will fade away. The big house will crumble to dust. The new car will become old and faulty. The degree will become useless. Time has its way of changing every situation. Be humble and never think that you are better than anyone else. Never laugh at anyone whom you are doing better than today, you might find yourself in their shoes tomorrow. Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Most importantly, make the most of your life everyday!

Last three wishes of Alexander The Great :

When Alexander The Great, after conquering kingdoms returning to his country, he fell ill that led him to his deathbed. He gathered his generals and told them, “I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail.”

The king asked his general to abide by these last wishes:

1) The Greek king of Macedon said, “My physicians alone must only carry my coffin.”

2) “I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be filled with the wealth that I collected,” the king said.

3) “My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept hanging out of my coffin,” Alexander said.

The generals agreed to abide by their king’s last wishes and asked him the reason for doing so. Alexander said, “I want the world know the three lessons I have just learnt.” The king interpreted his wishes and continued; “I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor on this earth can really cure anybody. They are helpless in front of death.”

Describing his second wish, the king said: “I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people know that wealth is nothing but dust.” Thirdly, I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and I will go empty-handed.”

KEEP YOUR CIRCLE SMALL

A Short Valuable Story

A young girl asked an elderly woman:
"Do I really need friends in life?"

The elderly woman responded:
"Yes. Life is truly very rough. There should be someone by your side with whom you can talk for hours without feeling that they would judge you; on whose shoulders you can cry, one who will give you emotional support. When no one will be there for you, they should be there. One who should help you share the good times and overcome the difficult ones."

The young girl asked:
"Is it true that a fake friend is more dangerous than an enemy?"

The elderly woman responded:
"Yes. It's because you know who your enemy is and you're not going to let them get close to you. But a false friend is pretending while getting your trust. They find out your vulnerabilities, your secrets and your dreams. They know which button to press and how to stab you in the back."

The young girl asked:
"How do I avoid being surrounded by fake friends?"

The elderly woman paused for a short moment, then asked,
"Between a small garden and a forest, which one has more snakes and scorpions?"

The young girl responded:
"The forest, sure!"

The elderly woman smiled, and then said:
"Good! When you keep your circle of friends small like a small garden, the less snakes and scorpions you have to worry about, even rats. The fewer people you hang out with, the fewer problems you have to deal with. When I was young, I had a very big group of friends. But as I grew old and wise with experience, my circle of friends became smaller. I realized that quality outweighs quantity when it comes to friendship. Don’t fool yourself by holding onto the illusion that everyone is your friend. You may have numerous acquaintances, but real friends will always be just a few people you love and trust. The best way to prevent yourself from falling into the fake friend trap is by being more mindful about the size of your circle."

Amitabh Bachchan says..."At the peak of my career, I was once travelling by plane. The passenger next to me was an elderly gentleman dressed in a simple shirt and pants. He appeared to be middle class, and well educated.

Other passengers perhaps recognising who I was, but this gentleman appeared to be unconcerned of my presence... He was reading his paper, looking out of the window, and when tea was served, he sipped it quietly.

Trying to strike a conversation with him I smiled. The man courteously smiled back and said 'Hello'.

We got talking and I brought up the subject of cinema and movies and asked, 'Do you watch films?'

The man replied, 'Oh, very few. I did see one many years ago.'

I mentioned that I worked in the movie industry.

The man replied.." oh, that’s nice. What do you do?'

I replied, 'I am an actor '

The man nodded, 'Oh, that's wonderful!' And that was it...

When we landed, I held out my hand and said, " It was good to travel with you. By the way, my name is Amitabh Bachchan!'

The man shook my hand and smiled, "Thank you... nice to met you..I am J R D Tata(Chairman of Tata Group)!"

I learned on that day that no matter how big you think you are, there is always someone bigger.

Be humble, it costs nothing.

Every month Kelvin’s parents took a trip to see Grandma and came home on the same train the next day. One day the child said to his parents:
“I'm already grown up. Can I go to my grandma's alone?"
After a brief discussion, his parents accepted. They stood with him as he waited for the train to exit. They said goodbye to their son and gave him some tips through the window. Kelvin repeated to them:
“I know. I've been told this more than a thousand times."
As the train was about to leave, his father murmured in his ear:
“Son if you feel bad or insecure, this is for you!"
And he put something in his pocket.
Now Kelvin was alone, sitting on the train as he had wanted, without his parents for the first time.
He was admiring the landscape out the window. Around him some unknowns pushed themselves in. They made a lot of noise. They got in and out of the train car. The conductor made some comments about him being alone. One person looked at him with eyes of sadness.
Kelvin was feeling more uneasy with every minute that passed. And now he was scared. He felt cornered and alone. He put his head down, and with tears in his eyes, he remembered his dad had put something in his pocket. Trembling, he searched for what his father had given him. Upon finding the piece of paper he read it:
“Son, I'm in the last train car!"
That's how life is, we must let our kids go. We must let them try new things. But we always like to be in the last car, watching, in case they are afraid or in case they find obstacles and don’t know what to do. We want to be close to them as long as we are still alive.

I will tell you a little story. There was once a baby lion left by its dying mother among some sheep. The sheep fed it and gave it shelter. The lion grew apace and said "Ba - a - a" when the sheep said "Ba - a - a". One day another lion came by. "What do you do here?" said the second lion in astonishment: for he heard the sheep - lion bleating with the rest. "Ba - a - a," said the other. "I am a little sheep, I am a little sheep, I am frightened." "Nonsense!" roared the first lion, "come with me; I will show you." And he took him to the side of a smooth stream and showed him that which was reflected therein. "You are a lion; look at me, look at the sheep, look at yourself." And the sheep - lion looked, and then he said, "Ba - a - a, I do not look like the sheep -- it is true, I am a lion!" and with that he roared a roar that shook the hills to their depths. That is it. We are lions in sheep's clothing of habit, we are hypnotised into weakness by our surroundings. And the province of Vedanta is the self - dehypnotisation.

Small Things!!

It was only a smile, but it said, "I care, And it reached out to me in my deepest despair.

It was only a small thing-Not too much to share;
But small things work miracles.
They say, "God and I care."

It was only a hug, but it eased my pain, And I knew then that things would be better again.

It was only a handshake, a warm friendly clasp, But strength flowed to me from its firm, caring grasp.

It was only a kind word, but it spoke to my heart, And eased the pain felt there from Satan's fierce dart.

It was only a touch, a miraculous thing, For a feeling of worth and love it did bring.

It was only a small thing
Not too much to share;
But small things work miracles
They say, "God and I care."

Once upon a time there lived few street dogs. Always lived happily barking on streets. This always annoyed few good men living in the same colony. Unfortunately the men though wise couldn't help the dogs live silently.

Hence the wise men learnt a lesson that street dogs cannot be silenced. However, they can avoid the dogs by simply ignoring the barks.

While the count of street dogs kept increasing and growing. Dogs become much happier and laughed at men considering them week.

Lesson Learnt: Barking dogs are sweet when they bark. It is their nature. Wise men are sweet when they are silent and invest their time in improving their wisdom.

Love and blessings 😇🙏❤️
