The Monkey’s Justice for two cats

Once two cats who were very good friends went on a walk. While they were walking on the street, one of the cats saw a box of butter lying besides the road and told the other. The other cat at once jumped and grabbed it.

The first cat said, "Give me the butter. It is I who saw it first."
The other cat said, "Keep away from it. It is I who picked it up."

A fight started between them and they were unable to find a solution. A cleaver wicked monkey was passing by who saw them fighting over the butter.

He thought “How foolish the cats must be. Let me take the advantage of their quarrel”. He came to the cats and said in a loud voice. "Don't fight. I will do justice. Let me share the butter among you both". Thus the cats gave the butter to the monkey thinking that he will do justice by distributing it equally between them.

The monkey split the butter into two parts. He shook his head and said, "Oh! One is bigger and the other is smaller". He ate a little bit of the bigger share to make it smaller. But the bigger share now had become smaller than the other. Thus he again ate from the other. He repeatedly ate part by part from both the shares to make them equal. At the end there was nothing left to share. Thus the poor cats were disappointed and realized their mistake of fighting over the butter.

Moral: When two quarrel, the third takes the advantage. Quarreling and fighting over any issue is destructive. One must not loose temper without a clear thought. One must be calm, gentle and humble to analyze and resolve the conflict. One must confess, seek and pray for justice. Quarrel leads to anger and anger leads to frustration, thus a situation is created where in the wisdom of justice for reasoning is obsolete and lost.

We have to resolve the issues peacefully. We have to put our best efforts with calmness, gentleness, love and compassion. We have to avoid hatred, enmity and criticism. Free and fare constructive communication is one of the basic rights of human beings. It’s one of the means to achieve freedom and liberty. Freedom and liberty are contagious where communication is the means to spread it across. In other words it’s impossible to achieve freedom and liberty without communication. A strong belief in freedom and liberty is a must. We have to communicate without any fear, to spread it effectively, thus to create an effective team work. We can avoid fear with strong faith in optimism. We have to dream of a secured peaceful future, thus put effective efforts to achieve the objective. We have to put our efforts without any frustration. We must never loose hope. Things will definitely change as the history proves that change it self is not constant. In other words history keeps repeating. Good things will definitely happen. The more effective the efforts, thus are the results. Lets make a humble request to all our loved ones so that we can achieve our objective. Good things are possible only with the blessings and wishes of the loved ones. It’s a collective effort. *[ Watch Animation.]

Once a Landlord employed two Gardeners who had their duties on alternate days. They disagreed about how the garden should be. One would till the land, and the other would come and undo the other’s efforts. This went on for months. They kept undoing the other’s work and doing things their own way. At the end, the land was barren and infertile. All their efforts were in vain.

The Blind Men And The Elephant.

The people who lived in a small village were always arguing and fighting among each other about God and different religions. They could never agree to a common answer. So they came to the Buddha to find out what exactly God looks like. The Buddha asked his disciples to get a large magnificent elephant and six blind men. He then brought the blind to the elephant and asked them to describe what an elephant looks like.
The first blind man touched the elephant leg and reported that it "looked" like a tree trunk.
The second blind man touched the elephant’s stomach and said that the elephant was a wall.
The third blind man touched the elephant ear and said that it was a fan.
The fourth blind man touched the elephant’s tail and described the elephant as a piece of rope.
The fifth blind man felt the elephant's tusks and described it as a spear.
And the sixth blind man rubbed the elephant’s snout and got very scared because he thought it was a snake.
All of them got into a big argument about the "appearance" of an elephant.

The Buddha asked the citizens: "Each blind man had touched the elephant but each of them gives a different description of the animal. Which answer is right?" "All of them are right," was the reply.
"Why? Because everyone can only see one part of the elephant. They are not able to see the whole animal. The same applies to God and to religions. No one will see Him completely."

Two rich merchants and a thief.

Once upon a time in a city of vikramaditya, Ujjayini there lived two friends who were very rich merchants. No doubt they were friends but they had different attitudes and business strategies. One of them was a miser, he used to hide his treasures in a safe place without showing it to anyone. The other was a generous man who used to invest in building the society and thus made good reputation with blessings and well-wishers.

People of that city used to respect both but in a different manner. They knew that the miser merchant was rich and greedy so they respected him in fear, as they were afraid of his hidden secret witchcrafts. Where as they also respected the generous merchant who was good at heart and in turn did justice to the citizens.

There was a famous thief in the same city who was well known for his wicked robbing tricks. Obviously he was constantly in search of valuable treasures. He saw both the merchants and thought of how to rob their rich treasures. After thinking for a long time he came to a conclusion that it would not be possible to rob the generous merchant who had no secret treasures but had invested everything in the open world without hiding anything. He thought it would be possible to rob the miser greedy merchant who had hidden his treasures. Thus he made a plan and was looking for an opportunity to fulfill his bad desire.

Once when there were celebrations in the city, when everybody were completely lost in the pleasure of joy and celebration, he mysteriously robbed the treasures of the greedy miser merchant.

Moral of the story: Hidden richness will be robed easily. Money is like Manure, Spread it and it does good. Pile it up in one place and it Stinks.

Healing is contagious:

Once a customer went to a hotel to rent a room and told the frond desk person, “give me a discounted price on a smoking room. I need some liquor, do you have a bar here?” The customer seemed to be in his mid forties. The FD (front desk person) asked him “are you married sir?” The customer said “No! I’m still a bachelor” The FD asked him why he was not married. The customer told him that all his friends were like him, they are all free birds like him and said that some of them are married but divorced. The FD asked him “don’t you know any one who is married for a lifetime and is happy?” The customer said “The only person I know are my parents, they were married for their life time.” The discussion started. The FD told him not to worry and everything will be fine soon. FD told that they don’t have a license for the liquor bar and thus they hope to get it soon. He asked the FD weather he was married. FD said “no sir not yet”. He asked the FD what was his age. FD told him his age. Then he asked the FD did he have a girl friend. The FD said “no sir not yet”. He started laughing and asked him why didn’t he had one? The FD told him “I’m trying to find one and hope to find one soon”. The FD told him that he had lost all his property. His dad had a heart attack few years back due to a heavy loss in his business. The FD told him that his dad was a business man and was a self made man. He took his own decisions and never discussed any of his business matters with his family members. The FD told him that his dad had close friends who were his childhood classmates. He believed in them. They were all in high, top notch positions, like ministers, bank chairmans, police inspectors, etc. He took loans from them and as the market was in recession he couldn’t pay them back and under pressure he underwent a heart attack. He told him that people tend to follow their leaders as there is no way out. It’s the corrupt system, the miss management which makes them helpless and stuck. When the leaders are corrupt then the followers have no option but to become corrupt. The FD told him that “you should be the role model, just like your parents.” Others should look at you and learn the good things from you. They should be proud of you. Our personalities are carved depending upon the friends and environment we are in. Thus he told him to visit places where in he could find good quality people. Quantity is appreciated when it has quality in it. For an example, let’s imagine how a small kid learns in his initial stages of growth. He looks at his parents, his friends, his teachers, his relatives, etc and tends to learn what he thinks is good for him. How can the kids learn when they are unable to see good personalities around them? He told him to visit places where he can experience peace and calmness, from where he can learn good things. He told him that “for every action there is a equal and opposite reaction”. When we are frustrated and tired we tend to achieve quick relief by giving our self’s to bad addictions and habits. Instead of taking the support of bad ones we should tend to release our frustration by going to calm and quite place, where in the mental pressure can be released. Where in we can find solutions to problems. We tend to think better when our mind is in a relaxed state. He told him why not go to a spiritual place instead of going to a liquor bar. The customer realized it and told the FD that he would be going to a spiritual place where in he could find peace. Thus a FD was able to spread the peace and happiness to one of their customers. The customer thanked the FD for his peaceful stay in the hotel. The hotel was appreciated with customer loyalty.

What happens when “red hot iron” is immersed in “cold water”? It neutralizes, becomes normal, its nature, things always tend to return to the nature. What happens when a calm, gentle, humble and stable person interacts with an arrogant, harsh, rude, and short tempered person? It’s transformation, conversion from one form to another, bad to good. There will be some reaction. It will take some time to neutralize and to retain the normal form. It’s always better and constructive when anger is converted to forgiveness. Arrogance is converted to calmness. Unstable is converted to stable. Fear is converted to hope and joy. Never loose hope in order to achieve a good purpose.

Two saints in a market place:

On an auspicious day two saints decided to go to a city market to do some purchasing. One of the saints wanted to purchase a parrot and a cow. He wanted to teach the parrot to speak and he wanted the cow to milk. They went to a merchant and asked him if he could show them a few of them before they could decide which one they wanted to purchase. The humble wealthy merchant took them around his store and showed them all he had and told them that all the parrots they could see there were booked and were sold to other customers, thus they could purchase the cow but not the parrot. He told them that the cow would cost them $100 and the parrot would be only $10 and he would inform them in a couple of days later when he would get some more parrots for sale. The saint who wanted to purchase them was very happy to hear this. Where as the other saint who accompanied him was not happy as they were asked to come again later. He felt that it was an utter waste of time and money. After purchasing the cow and placing an order for the parrot while they were returning back on their way home the accompanying saint wanted to know why the saint who had not purchased the parrot was happy while he was feeling the frustration and uneasiness. He asked him for an explanation.
The saint said “Some things at sometimes are not in our hands. We have to except the situation as and how they appear”.

He was not happy with the answer and thus asked for an explanation. The saint said “Its destiny which plays a major part in the life cycle. Destiny, for example lets say there are two things kept in front of me which are for sale. Parrot costs me only $10 while the cow is $100. Now I want to buy both of them and I have $1000 in my bank account. I'm able to purchase and posses only the cow that is $100. I'm unable to purchase the one that costs lesser i.e. the parrot for $10. No doubt I have $1000 in my bank account but still I could not purchase it, as it was no more in stock left for sale. Someone else purchased it before I did. Everything happens for good. It belonged to someone else's destiny. May be it was lucky for him. May be I would have a loss of $10,000 if I would have possessed it or may be the parrot would never learn to speak. Let’s look at this in detail. Should I feel sorry or feel happy for not purchasing this parrot. If I realize the truth and respect the decision of destiny, then I will feel happy that I was saved by a loss of $10,000. If I listen to my egoistic desire of possessive nature, with a false ego of superiority then I will feel the pain of not purchasing the parrot for $10. It’s up to me to be happy or sad. It depends on the way we analyze the things around us. These decisions are taken by our subconscious minds. To heal the subconscious mind it is necessary to have good ideas, good purpose, faith in good God, faith in the acceptance of destiny, faith in forgiveness, faith in love and compassion, faith in being constructive and optimism, faith in brotherhood, faith in learning from our mistakes.”

“It’s something like who came first? It’s the hen or the egg? They are both correlated, it would have not happened if the other would have happened. Lets say you are not going to marry until and unless you mature mentally and you are not going to mature until and unless you marry. Things happen at the right time, right place and under the right favorable conditions. We can put our good sincere efforts to achieve these conditions, at the same time we should not feel frustrated if they do not happen as expected. If we start feeling frustration and humiliation then we will loose the balance of mind, thus creating confusions and miss understandings. Our face is the reflection of our mind. Once we lose our mind it give rise to anxiety, which will give way to anger, which will lead to high blood pressure, which will tend to high sugar, if this is not stopped, then it will lead to a heart attack and loss of good relationships with valuable friends and personalities.” After listening to the explanation the other saint was relieved of his confusion and started to feel the happiness. Thus he told him “We cannot attain the salvation and haven until and unless we learn from the right preacher. No doubt doth haven and hells are within us, here on earth. It’s up to us to decide what we want”. He thanked him for giving a satisfying explanation, which opened his eyes. This changed the way he looked at the things around him.

What happens when “red hot iron” is immersed in “cold water”? It neutralizes, becomes normal, its nature, things always tend to return to the nature. What happens when a calm, gentle, humble and stable person interacts with an arrogant, harsh, rude, and short tempered person? It’s transformation, conversion from one form to another, bad to good. There will be some reaction. It will take some time to neutralize and to retain the normal form. It’s always better and constructive when anger is converted to forgiveness. Arrogance is converted to calmness. Unstable is converted to stable. Fear is converted to hope and joy. Never loose hope in order to achieve a good purpose.

Morale: When we have prayers, wishes, faith and blessings then the luck and destiny will follow us.

A Terrible Fight Between Two Wolves:

An old grandpa was teaching his grandchildren about life.

He said to them, "A battle is raging inside me, it is a terrible fight between two wolves.

One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The old man fixed the children with a firm stare. "This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too."

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?".

The old Grandpa replied: "The one you feed."

Moral: Think before feeding. Feed the good ones to achieve good purpose in life. Face is the reflection of mind. What we sow is what we reap. Ego of superiority is the destruction of individuality.

There are two kinds of kings, one is the destructive lion king and the other is constructive humble king. Now this destructive king want to rule, ultimately leading everyone to destruction. Where as there is another humble king who ultimately leading us to paradise. If every Indian realizes this secret to success, then our country will be number one, with constructive optimism. May the concept of optimism, called as "God" bless my mother-land I N D I A.

No one can hurt us, without our own permission. May be, by using anger, one can control other person. It would be a foolishness to bring transformation by destroying oneself. When we feel anger inside, When we focus on the sensation of anger, it gets dissolved within. Why should we spoil our own nervous system? Why should we spoil our own beautiful body because someone said something. When others do mistakes, instead of getting angry, we can as well correct their mistakes politely. But when others commit mistakes purposely, and repeatedly, in-order to create anger, to make fun of others. Then just neglect them, instead of hurting yourself. We know that, 72 muscles are strained when we frown. Our body becomes a wreck. Each one of us have encounters difficult times in the past. Everybody gets some difficult time, The wise one would smile and move through it, and the foolish one would keep crying, yelling, shouting, being miserable and making others miserable.

What is happiness and what makes us happy, and why are people not afraid of death? When one is completely soaked in knowledge, they would definitely commit efforts to serve the mankind. To heal and cure the humanity, to bring peace. They would experience a deeper sense of happiness and gratitude. Such a person would have very few enemies. But certainly he may have a few jealous enemies, enemies who are affected by such noble deeds, and they may even try to destroy the noble man, but the one with the noble deeds, with happiness, would be free from fear, of destruction, as they realize that they are alive only because they are happy. The moment they are unhappy, when they are unable to achieve their purpose, to serve humanity, their life would have no meaning as well. Being alive would be of no use either. Thus many great souls, who have been assassinated by their enemies, while performing their humble deeds of compassion and love, to serve mankind, never had any fear of death, as they experienced great enthusiasm and happiness while walking there path of peace and love. It seems they preferred dieing only once with a smile, instead of dieing every moment with fear, regret and repentance.

Within ourselves is a fountain of bliss, a fountain of joy. While meditation helps us to answer all our questions, to clarify all our fears, helps to make our future efforts towards peace and brotherhood, to convert enemies to friends, to convince enemies towards understanding knowledge, one would have no fear when they would have no enemies, thus meditation helps create the truth, light, love, where there is no guilt nor fear. Psychologists might have a defined term for this state, as nirvana.

Why We Shout In Anger

While a Master (Guru, Teacher) was on his way to River, to have his bath,
he finds his disciples shouting in anger at each other.
He turned to his disciples and asked them with a smile.
"Why do people shout in anger at each other?"
Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, "Because we lose our calm, and we shout."
Master said:
"But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you?
You can as well tell him, what you have to say, in a soft manner."

Disciples gave all different kinds of answers but none were satisfying.
Finally the Master explained:
"When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot.
To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other.
The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout, to hear each other, to cover that great distance."

What happens when two people fall in love?
They don't shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very close.
The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small..."

Master continued, "When they love each other even more, what happens?
They do not speak, only whisper, and they get even closer to each other in their love.
Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all.
That is how close two people are when they love each other."
He looked at his disciples and said:
"So when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant, Do not say words that distance each other more,
If not, a day will come, when the distance gets so great, that you will not find the path to return."
Thus Anger is a quite natural common phenomenon, which is destructive,
and must be controlled and conquered by humans in order to bless humanity and mankind.

Wisdom: Building Positive Attitude !
Once the head preacher teacher, instructed one of his young student followers on a spiritual path:
“For the course of next one year, give a coin to each person who offends or upsets you”.
For the next twelve months, the young man gave a coin to each person who offended or upset him, as he was instructed.
At the end of the year, he returned to the teacher to find out what was the next step.
“Go into town and buy food for me” the master responded.
Once the boy left, the master changed his clothes, disguised himself as a Beggar and went to the gate.
When the boy returned from town, the beggar began to insult him.
“Good!” said the boy, “for a whole year I had to pay the people who upset or offended me, and now I can be offended for free, without spending anything!”
Hearing this, the teacher removed his disguise, and said “He who does not take insults seriously, is on the path to wisdom.”

Hen that laid golden eggs:

Once in a village there lived a cottager with his lavish wife. They had a hen in their farm which used to lay golden eggs. It used to lay one egg at a time. Due to the greed with a bad ambition and an dirty desire of becoming more richer. To be wealthy and to make easy money they supposed that the hen must contain a great lump of gold within it. In order to accomplish their evil desire they killed it. Having done so, they found to their surprise that the Hen differed in no respect from their other hens. They did not find any eggs. The foolish pair, thus hoping to become rich all at once, deprived themselves of the gain of which they were assured day by day. They realized that it doesn’t pay to be greedy.

Moral: Never be greedy with bad ambitions and dirt desires. Confess, seek and pray. Be calm, gentle, humble and stable. Live and Let live. Have good purpose and have patience in life.
