Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 OM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAH AMMA SAYS - STORY A brother like that A little boy was staring in wonder at a beautiful, newly-built mansion. As he stood in front of the house, a young man came out of the gate. The boy asked him, 'Who does that beautiful house belong to?' 'It's mine,' said the man. 'I have a brother who happens to be very rich. He built it for me.' Hearing this the boy exclaimed, 'Oh, if only......' and he sighed deeply. The man could easily guess what the boy was about to say next-that if only he had a borhter like that... But when the boy continued to speak, the man was surprised by what he said. 'Oh,' said the boy, 'If only I was a brother like that!' "Children, it is this sort of attitude that brings joy to our lives. Why should anyone have to suffer in this world? If you are goodhearted enough to put others before yourself, you will experience peace and happiness. But for this to happen, you have to move away from selfishness and journey along the path to selflessness." :: AMMA SHARANAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
