Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Dear All, This ancient story touches me. So I am sharing with all of you, I do not know who the author is. I understand that we cannot receive what the wise woman had that enabled her to give the stone, but we have to acquire it by constant good thoughts, good actions and good habits. Let Guruvayurappan bless us to climb all the steps in front of us to that platform where we can receive this precious gift of " giving " . Regards and prayers Savitri A wise woman, who was traveling in the mountains, found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. " I've been thinking, " he said. " I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone.
