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 tie it to the tree while the sadhus meditated.
All of us are like the sadhus. We do not know the intention why some rituals were practiced, yet we follow blindly without any purpose.
Following any path without knowing where it leads or what its purpose was is like hitting in the dark

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 ...

Proud to be an Indian Once two gentlemen were traveling by train. One was Paras, a project head in IT. Paras was not quite happy with the train travel. The other person next to him was a well- built gentleman. Paras was keenly observed by his co-passenger. He was killing time by skimming through some contents on his laptop. The other gentleman enquired if Paras was an IT professional, to which he accepted. The other person praised Paras for being an IT professional for being part of great revenue generation for the country. Paras felt proud about his profession but still remained guarded. The other gentleman asked some  more questions about Paras' profession. Paras told him that he started as a low level associate and he used to do complex coding now, he has been promoted and now he has to get the work done. The other gentleman commented  “now things would be more easy for you.”  Paras said  “it is not like that. Meeting the deadlines, getting the work done withi...
