Heart speaks beautiful story.

[Guest guest]

Dear friends and devotees,

 

Bhakti is eternal.

 

A heart touching article though not connected to Bhakti.

 

One day Math's teacher asked her students to list the names of the

other students in the room on two sheets of the paper, leaving a space

between each name.

 

Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about

each of their classmates and write it down.

 

It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment,

and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

 

That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a

separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about

that individual.

 

On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire

class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. 'I never knew that I

meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so much,'

were most of the comments.

 

No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if

they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't

matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were

happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.

 

Several years later, one of the students was killed in 'Kargil' war and

his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never

attended Funeral of a serviceman before. He looked so handsome, so

mature.

 

The place was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him

took a last walk. The teacher was the last one to bless.

 

As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up

to her. 'Were you Sanjay's math teacher?' he asked. She nodded: 'yes.'

Then he said: 'Sanjay talked about you a lot....'

 

After the funeral, most of Sanjay's former classmates were there.

Sanjay's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with

his teacher.

 

'We want to show you something,' his father said, taking a wallet out of

his pocket 'They found this on Sanjay when he was killed. We thought you

might recognize it.'

 

Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook

paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The

teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she

had listed all the good things each of Sanjay's classmates had said

about him.

 

'Thank you so much for doing that,' Sanjay's mother said. 'As you can

see, Sanjay treasured it.'

 

All of Sanjay's former classmates started to gather around. Arjun smiled

rather sheepishly and said, 'I still have my list. It's in the top

drawer of my desk at home.'

 

Prithwiraj's wife said, ' Prithwiraj asked me to put his in our wedding

album.'

 

'I have mine too,' Rashmi said. 'It's in my diary'

 

Then Deepa, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her

wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. 'I carry this

with me at all times,' Deepa said and without batting an eyelash, she

continued: 'I think we all saved our lists'

 

That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Sanjay

and for all his friends who would never see him again.

 

The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life

will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.

 

So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special

and important. Tell them, before it is too late.

 

And one way to accomplish this is: Forward this message on. If you do

not send it, you will have, once again passed up the wonderful

opportunity to do something nice and beautiful. But it is up to you to

fwd this one.

 

If you've received this, it is because someone cares for you and it

means there is probably at least someone for whom you care.

 

The more people that you send this to, the better you'll be at reaching

out to those you care about.

 

Remember, you reap what you sow. What you put into the lives of others

comes back into your own.

 

May your day be blesses as special as you.

 

WISHING YOU A GREAT HAPPENINGS DAY............

 

Happy moments, praise God.

 

Difficult moments, seek God.

 

Quiet moments, worship God

 

Painful moments, trust God

 

Every moment, thank God.

 

HAVE A GLORIOUS DAY AND GLORIOUS YEAR AHEAD

 

With love and regards,

 

Sastry
