Excellent life's stories - Short Story with a beautiful message

[Guest guest]

Here is a short story with a beautiful message...

 

 

 

 

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

 

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,

 

" Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river. "

 

The little girl said, " No, Dad. You hold my hand. "

 

" What's the difference? " Asked the puzzled father.

 

" There's a big difference, " replied the little girl.

 

 

 

" If I hold your hand and something happens to me,

 

chances are that I may let your hand go.

 

But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens,

 

you will never let my hand go. "

 

 

 

 

 

 

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its

bond.

 

 

So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to

hold yours...

This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings.

 

 

This message probably and you receive few times, but I add my first

feeling and share with you one more.

 

Please God hold us in each our action, so thah is only bridge between You

and us.

Namaste Branko-Ji:

 

 

IMO - advaita teaches to become serf reliant through acquisition

knowledge.

 

Here the little girl realizes her own weakness and makes uses that

knowledge to arrive at her decision to entrust her father.

 

Similar thoughts appear though our vedic literature.

 

na mR^iShaa shraataM yadavanti devaaH || R^igveda 1.179.3 ||

 

naR^ite shraantasya sakhyaaya devaa || R^igveda 4.33.11 ||

 

na anaashratntaaya shriiH asti | indra iat carataH sakhaa || aitareya

brahmaNa 7.15 ||

 

Overall meaning of above statements meanings that Gods only help

those who make efforts with full knowledge and not just for the sake

of doing.

 

Can you please please provide the source for the above story?

 

Regards,

Namaste:

 

Thanks for the insightful story. Mother nature provides vivid

examples to this story: The mother cat catches the kitten with the

mouth and carries it wherever it goes. The baby monkey uses both its

hands to stick to mother's body and follow her. The baby fish begins

its life by swimming and looking for food to swallow without

depending on its mother. There also schools of thought associated

with cat, monkey and fish. Under the cat-doctrine, the takes full

responsibility for the student and under the monkey-doctrine, the

student takes the responsibility. The fish-doctrine associates with

self learning without dependence on the teacher. In Vaishnavam, the

cat-doctrine of surrender implies that the disciple totally

dependence on Narayana; under the monkey-doctrine of surrender, the

disciple though surrenders to Narayan has take some responsibility.

 

With my warmest regards,

Namaste Yadu-ji,

 

 

Thank you very much for your replay. I haven't source this story.

Last three years I receive this story few times, and each time when

read and thinking about - this is very inspiration story for me.

 

 

I only want share few intuitional moments with friends which find

time for careful read.

 

 

 

All is perfect, and soul must first receive and each thought, before

have this idea, all depend only of soul interest and heartily waiting.

 

Many times I say my friends: Five Saints always protect each soul

through lower hierarchy, and They always wont help soul to find best

way for God. Off course two souls can have or not same five Saints.

 

 

I add and one my short writings:

 

Real Friendship

 

Friendship is like open heart (consciousness).

Friendship is like pure smile.

Friendship is like best teaching for social life.

Friendship is good goal for change character on the better.

Friendship is part teaching of love.

Friendship is last relation with all, without realization this nobody

can't go deeper in Our Source.

 

 

Friendship is truly or real only when soul involved heart

(consciousness) in relationship or heartily thinking.

Much better, deeper, truthfully and powerful is thinking without

thoughts!

Friendship must be before many thoughts!

Friendship is always real when truth is greater (then friendship) and

when is goal friendship.

 

Thinks one more dear spiritual friend!

 

 

With Kind Regards,

 

Mahapratibhawan

Namaste Ram-ji,

 

 

Thank your very much for your excellent replay.

 

 

I add one my short writings:

 

O God Bless soul with all love.

 

O God what is purest soul feeling with purest outside actions?

O God what is purest soul willing with purest outside tendency?

O God what is purest soul cognition with purest outside knowledge?

This is only sign your Love which live inside soul and became soul

source.

 

Thanks is and God's word, only when thanks have real meaning.

Thanks is much greater if permanent live like inner sound " thanks " ,

and when usually follow each outside and inside situation.

Thanks is much greater when soul can't say and think about this on

any way, or when permanent usually present in each soul action.

And greatest thanks is " Thanks God for all " .

 

O God Bless Soul With This State. Only then Soul can always real

thanks You for each soul's moment and for all.

Then each (soul's) Namaskar You and each soul became greatest.

Then each Your next darshan became greater.

Then open all, and then Your permanent darshan became soul life.

 

Thanks God for all!

 

With Kindest Regards

 

Mahapratibhawan
