Make the world a better place

In the lap of forest once lived a donkey. On a fine afternoon, after a nice full meal, the donkey was resting underneath a coconut tree. He got nothing to do, so he let himself sink in thoughts, a whole lot of negative thoughts! 
He thought, what would happen if the whole world just collapsed? Just as he was thinking....he heard a loud noise!! Upon hearing the noise, the donkey opened his eyes and he saw the rising clouds of dust, and he immediately believed that its the world collapsing exactly as he imagined it. The donkey ran in panic.
On his way another donkey saw him running and when asked he informed him about the world that is collapsing. The donkey spread the same word to the monkeys, bears, birds and every living being in the forest. All of them started to run and howl in panic. 
The lion king who was having a nap, was disturbed by the panic. He woke up and came across the news of the world collapsing and he asked everyone to assemble. The King analysed the situation and asked everyone how they came to the conclusion that the world is collapsing. Everyone took names of the other one and finally all the fingers tended to point towards the donkey. Now the king asked the donkey how he came to spread such a message.
The Donkey explained the situation wherein he heard the loud noise and the rising dust. The lion took the donkey and other animals to the coconut tree where the donkey was resting a while ago. 
The noise the donkey heard was from a bunch of coconut that fell down from a tall coconut tree in the wind, it was the same wind that caused the dust to rise. All the animals realized their mistake. Everyone heard the word and spread the word without checking the facts.

Fact in gossip is like plain porridge being publicized as the spicy oysters Rockefeller, if we look for the spicy oyster Rockefeller, we will never get to it because there isn't any!

The food for thought here is “The world will be a much better place if we can talk to each other than talk about each other”

Kutty story #61

World moves on without you: There lived a teacher in a small village. He had a wife, a son who was doing his higher studies and daughter who was ready to get married. He was living a contented life when a thought came to his mind that totally disturbed his peaceful existence.  He suddenly thought that he was the reason the whole family was happy. He felt that things wouldn’t be the same for them in his absence. This thought bred in him and over a few days turned into an ego in himself. One day when he was introspecting himself as a teacher he realized that he had become egoistic but it was already late as the ego had got the better of him already. At around the same time, a yogi arrived in the village and coincidentally he was speaking about controlling ones egos and vices. The yogi said that the world remains the same although many have come and left before this and continue to do so. After the talk, the teacher approached the yogi and confesses to him that hes already suffering w...

He had prepared well and he was excited to share the information he had collected and prepared. The doctor reached the airport and he had done the check-in.

Ritual Once a Sadhu finished meditation and got up to find a wounded kitten. As he was a very kind man, he took the kitten to his ashram and started taking care of it. The kitten eventually recovered and grew to be a pet to Sadhu. The kitten was a very naughty one, it always play around the sadhu.  The Sadhu began to get distracted from his meditation. So one day, the Sadhu asked one of his followers to tie the kitten to the tree in front of the ashram. The disciple did so without a question. In some time it became a practice that whenever the sadhu started to meditate, the kitten will be tied to the tree. After some time, the Sadhu passed away. The senior-most monk who now became the sadhu, continued to tie the kitten to the tree while he was meditating. The practice continued. Every sadhu followed the ritual of tying the kitten to the tree when they meditated. After sometime the cat died.. The whole ashram was under chaos, thinking and brought a new cat to the ashram to ...
