The stones never found

It was a family reunion after a very long time. Appetizing aroma of the food filled the mansion and everyone in the family were enjoying its flavor of the biryani. The biryani took a long time to be prepared. The family members waited so long and eventually their appetite peaked as well. Finally the biryani was served and as soon as the family members started their feast, the chef told aloud to be careful while eating the biryani. A member of the family asked the reason for it. The chef said there were stones among the rice and he removed the stones as much as he could and he didn't want anyone to eat a stone and ruin the taste of the meal. The family members who were talking, shouting and having fun quickly turned quiet and they were all focused on the stones which they may get. Everyone ate the biryani slowly and they were not really enjoying the moment, not really enjoying the taste of the meal they were having. After some time they were all done with their food and luckily none of them got any stones from their portion so far. A family member called upon the chef and said none of them got any stones. 

The chef said he was just making sure that no one gets any stone and he at his best had removed the maximum stones still there may have been one or two missed by him.

We are among the family members, the reunion and the biriyani are all the good things that we are supposed to enjoy and live with, but here we are, we are all focused on the stones in the biryani; the problems of our life or the problems in our beloved ones' lives. We may bite a stone, we shall deal with it then, but we all end up ruining the present moment.

Problems are a part of life. What matters is what are we focused on,

Is it the problems or the pleasant present we have?

Kutty story #59

   God is within us through our journey of life. The story is about a baby boy who was about to be born into this world. He pleads to God not to send him to earth as it’s very chaotic and deceitful. God convinced him with his soft spoken voice and soft strokes, all about life and death. He tells him its very important for him to be born on earth for a reason. The baby boy finally gives in but asked for a promise from God in return. He asked that God be with him always as he wouldn’t want to go otherwise. So God agrees with a smile. The baby boy asked God “how will I know you are with me when we are on earth as I will not see you”. God replied with a smile “whenever you close your eyes and see you will see two footprints, one will be mine and one will be yours”. So the baby boy was born and life went on as any other baby. He grew into a kid and then into a young man, got settled in life and got really busy with life and its tensions. He had forgotten all about the discussion he had with

Mother : Love This is the story of a woman who is a mother to three men. As the mother aged she equally divided all her wealth among her 3 children and she also announced that she will be staying with each of her sons for 3 months. All the three brothers were really excited to welcome their mother home and take care of her. They were happy to see her.

The bond Sudhama and Lord Srikrishna were great friends. Both of them were good friends since their days at Sandeepani Saints Ashram as disciples. The students were supposed to follow the instructions by the Saint also they were all supposed to help the master's wife by collecting wood for household purposes. The boys were in charge for collecting flowers for Pooja and wood for cooking.  One day it was ekadashi (the day for fasting) the wife of the master had kept two hands full of dry fruits for Sudhama and Lord Srikrishna as they had to go to the forest. Since it was the day of fasting the students were not allowed to go to the street seeking food from the villagers. However another sage walked into Sandeepani's ashram and asked for food. Sandeepani's wife politely replied they have not cooked anything as it is ekadashi and there is no food in her kitchen to spare for the sage. The sage meditated for a moment and with his inner eye he could see the two hand full of dry fr
