The life each wished for


Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period. 

After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire. 

God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked god for everything like the land he had blessed the farmer with, so that he could work and win his bread and butter,  and the family he had. The only flaw the farmer complained about was he couldn't manage to feed those who had approached him for food. The food the farmer had was barely sufficient for his own family. God listened quietly and asked what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer replied if he had another life he must be in such a position where anyone who came to him for food should never leave with an empty stomach. Both the farmers were born again as humans in the same village. The first farmer became a beggar as he wished everyone gave him money without any question. The second farmer became the richest man who lived and aided others. Every situation has two sides and what matters is how we see and how we stay positive in it. Our happiness is always within our grasp.


Staying positive in a negative situation will bring a positive outcome

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...

God's will A rich doctor set off to Mumbai from Delhi to take part in a conference. The doctor was supposed to be the lead in the presentation. 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. He was all the way excited to make his way to Mumbai to attend to the conference. Half an hour post the flight's take off the flight experienced challenges due to poor weather and they were forced to land elsewhere. The captain announced that they are left with fewer choices so keeping safety in mind, they are landing.  The doctor became really annoyed at the situation.

Another gentleman at the airport who happened to be a co-passenger recognized him and walked up to the doctor and identified him as Dr. Patnaik and told him that he was also supposed to atten...

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 ...
