Ask when you need a helping hand

Once there was a father and son. They were having a good time in the backyard playing and tugging at each other when the father quickly came up with an idea. He wanted the son to help him with gardening. Both the father and the son moved their hands quickly and planted a few plants. Then the father felt his son might not be learning enough, and so he showed the boy a corner of the yard and asked him to clean the area and make it ready to plant a few nice flowering plants. 
The boy went there to find big stones which had to be removed. The boy tried, but he couldn't move the stones. He returned to the father and said he couldn't do it. The father said "Do your best and you can do it."
 The boy went back to the stone and he tried harder but still he couldn't do it. He came back to his dad with a sad face. The father said "Try all your tricks and take it up as a challenge and try again." The boy went back to the stone and then he started to cry and roll down on the ground. The father rushed to the boy and asked him if he was hurt. The boy was annoyed. He said " You purposefully asked me to get this done which i cannot do. " 
The father held the boy in his arms and said " There was one thing you could have done. I told you to use all your tricks and get it done. You could have asked for my help. "
The father wanted the boy to learn the importance of realizing that his father will be around for him at the time of his need. The dad would have definitely helped him and the boy could have finished the work but he was thinking only about what he can do. At times we should go ahead and seek help, not everyone can do everything all by themselves.

Our parents always do so much for us unconditionally. We must learn to let go of our pride and ask for help when needed.

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.

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...
