Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 namaste. Continuing with the series of excerpts from "The prayer of the frog" by Anthony de Mello. The book can be obtained from the publishers: The Gujarat Sahitya Prakash, Post Box 70, Anand, Gujarat 388001, India. Regards Gummuluru Murthy SERVICE Once upon a time God gave a party to all the virtues, great and small, humble and heroic. They all gathered together in a splendidly decorated hall in heaven and soon began to enjoy themselves because they were well acquainted with one another; some were even closely related. Suddenly God spotted two fair virtues who seemed not to know each other at all and were somewhat ill at ease in each other's company. So He took one of them by the hand and formally introduced her to the other. "Gratitude," He said, "this is Charity." But God had hardly turned around when they were again parted. And so the story has gone around that even God cannot bring Gratitude to be where Charity is. ------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
