Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 Sitting in the cancer hospital lobby one afternoon, I noticed a moth which had been attracted by one of the several fluorescent lights on the ceiling. Its fluttering suddenly stopped, the insect fell to the floor in the middle of the lobby and lay `helpless' on its back. There were patients all about and also their attendants who have to do the running around. I decided unless I did something, the `vulnerable' moth was sure to be stamped to death. People were too busy to notice such a tiny insect on the mosaic floor. I carefully transported the moth close to the wall along which red moulded chairs were kept for people to sit. To my utter shock and surprise, barely had a few minutes elapsed when I saw a house lizard dart out of nowhere and grab the moth in its mouth, making for a delicious mid-day morsel. A house lizard in a sanitised cancer hospital! In the afternoon? What do you think God was doing? It's a worthwhile subject to meditate upon.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 1999 Report Share Posted October 13, 1999 Similar story: Destiny : whatever is going to happen will happen and that's why we have put forward the stories of previous births and rebirth, and Pap & Punyas. An Eagle could hear the voice of saitans, the devils. One time it heared them talking about the death of a sparrow living on the same tree. So,the eagle talked about this to the sparrow and decided to take him to seven oceans apart on a very high mountain on a safe,isolated tree.Once they reached there, the Eagle thought the poor sparrow was safe now and the devils wouldn't come over there as they were talking the sparrow's death at a different place. But, too his surprise only after few hours a snake came from nowhere and ate the sparrow. The Eagle heared the Devil's " This poor sparrows death was destined here on the mountain, seven oceans apart, and this Eagle was kind enough to solve our problem bringing it all the way here. The sparrow couldn't fly by itself all the way up to here by itself.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 1999 Report Share Posted October 13, 1999 Mahesh n guhaa for the nice stories i too have heard stories like this in my childhood. There was one person who was destined to die in one city. So the person thought let me flee from this city. He left the city n on the way got on to a bullock cart. He didn't noticed that the cart was going back to the city frm whih he was trying to flee. Then it so happened that a child came under the cart n this person was sitting in the front so the blame was put on him n he was hanged in that city.
