Like he killed Narakasura, He wants us to uproot thedevilish selfish desires and attitudes. We promise Him on this Happyand Bright Deepavali that we adhere to HIM. SIMPLE BUTPROFOUND MESSAGE A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got togetherto visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned intocomplaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee,the lecturer went too the kitchen and returned with a large pot ofcoffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, someplain looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to helpthemselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee inhind, the lecturer said: " If you noticed, all the nice-looking,expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves,that is the source of your problems and stress " . " What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but youconsciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups.Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in societyare the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but thequality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only onthe cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it. " So don't let the cupsdrive you …. Enjoy the coffee instead. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
