Kindness will be repaid in full

Once there was a fruit seller. One day a man came by the shop. The man was in front of a fruit shop and the man was asked the price of the bananas, the shopkeeper swayed Rs.50 per dozen . The man asked for the price of the apples, the shopkeeper said Rs.200 per kilo. An old lady approached the same shop and asked for the price of the bananas, the shopkeeper said Rs.10 per dozen and when asked for the price of the apple he says Rs.50 per kilo. 

The old woman had some change in the woman's clutch. The woman purchased very minimal fruits. As soon as the old woman left, the other man asked the shopkeeper why the price was high for him and low for her. The shopkeeper said that the old lady was lonely and she lived all alone. I love to offer her fruits for free but she has a lot of self respect so she doesn't accept anything for free. The lady comes to my shop once in a while and whenever she comes here I get a lot of business. The shopkeeper said he firmly believed that when we give to the needy God will note and repay us. 

The shopkeeper also added the story of a shop in Europe, in Italy, where the customers can pay extra for a coffee wherein the shop will offer it for free to those who are in need. They call it the anonymous coffee. The shop's name is called : Cafe Sous Peso. The system of pending coffee is a unique way of kindness and sharing. It is such an invaluable thing.


Caring for the needy will speed up the blessings awaiting.

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

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
