KUTTY STORY 11




God swapped a day with a templeboy..
Long ago, there was a boy who worked in a temple as a helper. Everyday he cleaned the deity , the sanctum and sanctorum.
He was always amused at how God always was limited to only the Sanctum and he thought that it must be much fun and easy to be so. 
One day, in his ignorance, he negotiated and managed to have God agree for a swap between them for a day. God told the boy only one thing - "whoever comes to the temple, whatever the person says, you must not speak, you must not do anything". The boy agreed and so the swap happened.
As agreed, the boy took the place of God and stood there as the statue. A devotee came and thanked god for all the wealth God had bestowed him. Also the devotee sought blessings for the new business he was about to start as a factory. After thanking God, he bowed in front of the sanctum and took a leave, but he forgot his wallet at the sanctum.The boy wanted to tell him that his wallet was left behind but he suddenly recollects the only thing God has asked him to do. 
A second devotee came and complained to God about his miserable life as he doesn't have any fortune. He too, bowed at the sanctum and to his surprise, he found ta wallet lying there. He became so happy and thanked god. The boy wanted to tell him not to take that wallet but his promise to God forbid him from doing so. The second devotee left with the wallet of the first.
 A third devotee came and he prayed for his protection as he is a merchant navy employee and he is about to set off for his new voyage of 30 days. The first devotee suddenly showed up at the temple with cops and on seeing the third devotee near the sanctum and nobody else around, they suspected him to be the thief who took the wallet of the first devotee. The third person couldn't convince the cops about his innocence. 
At this instant, the boy lost all his patience, addressed them all and clarified how the wallet is with the second person. He said that the one who is handcuffed is innocent. All of them were astonished to hear it all straight from God himself. They went ahead and found the poor person who thought the wallet was God's gift to him. The boy felt relieved because he thought he did the right thing. 
God returned by evening and the boy told him how happy he is for what he did, to which God explained to the boy how he had ruined everything. 
The first devotee had done so many wrong things to pursue the wealth - by losing the wallet with all that money, his evil karma would have reduced by a small fraction. 

The second devotee on the other hand is a good man whose actions are for the welfare of others.

The third devotee was about to start a voyage with around 30 men in the ship and the in the sea they were supposed to have encountered a hurricane, the ship would have wrecked and all of them would die. But now, since the man was arrested by the cops it would have saved all those lives and eventually the man will be freed without any harm.
The boy's action had ruined all the plans of God. The same is the case with us when we weep on the smaller loss without seeing the bigger picture.

Trust God for his plans, we must have faith in him. The small losses or the bad times are not permanent; trust that he has some great plans for us ahead!!

2.     Mother's Love It was a hot summer day. There was a chemist along with his assistant doing brisk trade under the mid-noon hot sun. The pharmacist noticed an old woman across the road, staring at the shop for a long time. The shopkeeper suggested to the assistant to take care of the customers in the line and he went to check on the old lady.  The chemist crossed the road and approached her and asked her “why you are standing here alone, do you need any help from me”. The lady said she was fine. She had a son who lives in the city with his wife and three children. He and his family came and visited her every summer but this time he called her up last night and said he is going to a hill station with his family so he will not be visiting her this summer. He might come next summer. Saying this, her wrinkled grey eyes shed tears of pain out of a broken heart.  The shopkeeper was muted for a moment and he had no words for her. The mother held h...

KUTTY STORY 1

STORY.1 It is not necessary that time favours you every time. Sometimes, it teaches a lesson : How to lead a disciplined life through difficulties Once there were two youngsters, one had an office job and the other, being blind, used to beg on the pavement of the office complex where the other worked.  The employee was never appreciated by anyone in his office and so he was demotivated. He had a tough time at his work place. Everyday, the employee on his way to and from his office, watched the blind beggar. One day he saw the begger with a note saying 'I am Blind'. The employee walked up to the begger and made a small change in the note and carried on with his day.  At the end of the day, on his way back from office the employee  was curious to know if his small change in the note made any difference to the beggar. As he neared the place, the begger recognized the employee with his foot steps and said  " I understand you are the one who cam...

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...
