EAGLE IN A STORM

[Guest guest]

Pranamam to All,This story will be useful to us.Eagle in a Storm

An eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks. The eagle

will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits,

it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm.

While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not

escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the

winds that bring the storm.

Similarly when the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will

experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief

toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God’s power to

lift us above them.

God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy,

failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down; it is how we

handle them.

Srila Prabhupada says: A devotee is always satisfied. He does not grudge,

that “Why I am put into this condition? Whatever condition Krishna

has given me, that is all right. tat te anukampam, it is His grace.†-

Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.5.36 — Vrindavana, August 17, 1974
