Get out of comfort zone

Once, there lived a group of vultures in the abundance of a thick forest. The vultures used to fly around in flocks in large groups of 100-150.  One day, they ended up finding an island where they found a lot of food and a very favorable condition to live in. There were a lot of fishes, seagulls, frogs and all that the vultures could imagine. The island was very beautiful as well. The group of vultures got further assured that there is no other animal above them to hunt them down. So all of them desired to stay on the island. The youngsters among the pack were certain that they would stay on the island forever. 

A fews passed by, an old vulture observed that the other vultures are slowly losing their skills; they are no longer being challenged to use their potential, they merely fly. The old vulture summoned every other vulture and shared his thoughts. The old vulture said that they all should go back to the forest and hunt their prey and fly up like they used to be than to live by just eating and losing on their true skills. The young vultures who earlier decided to stay in the island forever quickly disagreed with the old vulture and said the old vulture has lost his mind as he is too old. The other vultures found the old vulture's thoughts genuine and they agreed. The old vulture said they will be flying back to the forest so anyone can join them. The young vultures stayed back and the rest left to the old forest. 

Weeks passed. The vultures who returned to the forest from the island wanted to know how the rest are doing back in the island. So they decided to pay a visit to them. Upon reaching the island the vultures were shocked to find the corpus of the vultures and only a few among the pack were left and even they were wounded. The vultures wanted to know what happened on the island. One among the wounded spoke about the mishap. A ship anchored near the island and in the ship were cheetahs and the cheetahs were set free on the island. The cheetahs' initially didn't attack the vultures but soon they discovered that we are overweight and cannot move quickly or fly away.So they began to feast on us and most of us ended up as meals to the cheetahs' and the remaining are injured as you can see. We made a mistake by choosing to stay.

We must challenge ourselves to become a better version of us

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...

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...

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 ...
