[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] perception!!!!

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

Radhe Krishna!

It only shows that all matters pertaining to the mundane world, are

subject to logical reasoning (Anatma). Only matters pertaining to

Atman do not come within purview of logical reasoning, and have to be

learnt from the Vedas through a Guru.

Regards

KVG.

OM NAMO NARAYANAYA

 

This is a real story that happened between the customer of General

Motors and its customer-care executive.

 

A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors:

 

"This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't blame you

for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we

have a tradition in our family of ice cream for dessert after dinner

each night. But the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after

we've eaten the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should

have and I drive down to the store to get it. It's also a fact that I

recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store

have created a problem. You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice cream,

when I start back from the store my car won't start.

 

If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts just fine. I want

you to know I'm serious about this question, no matter how silly it

sounds: "What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I

get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?"

 

The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the letter,

but sent an engineer to check it out anyway. The latter was surprised

to be greeted by a successful, obviously well educated man in a fine

neighborhood. He had arranged to meet the man just after dinner time,

so the two hopped into the car and drove to the ice cream store. It was

vanilla ice cream that night and, sure enough, after they came back to

the car, it wouldn't start. The engineer returned for three more

nights. The first night, they got chocolate. The car started. The

second night, got strawberry. The car started. The third night he

ordered vanilla. The car failed to start. Now the engineer, being a

logical man, refused to believe that this man's car was allergic to

vanilla ice cream.

 

He arranged, therefore, to continue his visits for as long as it took

to solve the problem. And toward this end he began to take notes:

 

He jotted down all sorts of data: time of day, type of gas uses, time

to drive back and forth etc. In a short time, he had a clue: the man

took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavor. Why? The answer

was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the most popular flavor,

was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick pickup. All

the other flavors were kept in the back of the store at a different

counter where it took considerably longer to check out the flavor.

 

Now, the question for the engineer was why the car wouldn't start when

it took less time. Once time became problem – not the vanilla ice

cream, the engineer quickly came up with the answer: "Vapour lock". It

was happening every night; but the extra time taken to get the other

flavors allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently to start. When the

man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the vapour lock to

dissipate.'

 

Remember: Even crazy looking

problems are sometimes real and all problems seem to be simple only

when we find the solution with a cool thinking. Don't just say its

"IMPOSSIBLE" without putting a sincere effort... Observe the word

"IMPOSSIBLE" carefully? We can see "I'MPOSSIBLE"...

 

What really matters is our attitude

and our perception!!!!

 

Radhe Shyam,

Arun
