Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Swami once told the Following Beautiful Story to a Group of Students in Prasanthi Nilayam : One day a farmer's donkey fell into a well. The animal cried badly for hours as the farmer tried to think as to what to do. Finally, he decided the as the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyhow; it just wasn't worth it to save the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come help him and they all grabbed a shovel and began to put dirt into the well . In the beggining the donkey realized what was happening and started crying very badly, then suddenly to everyone's great amazment he kept very quiet, after a few more showels of dirt were filled, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw,With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily walked off! Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. This everyone can do only when you have God's Grace and Blessings. Chant the Lord's name and you will be ready all Troubles, If your Devotion for the Lord is great, he will face all your Troubles and will keep you safe. That is The Lord's Love and that is Swami's Love. Om Sai Ram The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS! See your Homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
