Reflection

Reflection 

Rabindranath Tagore, in one of his beautiful stories has narrated 
about a beggar encountering a Celestial being. 

One day, by the side of a beggar, a golden chariot with divine being 
descended from the sky. The beggar thought that he was lucky and
would become rich. But to his surprise, the divine being asked him
for alms. Cursing his stars and out of disgust, the beggar took out
a small Piece of grain from his bag and offered it to the divine 
being.The whole day, the beggar was very unhappy that he had lost
a grain. Before going to sleep, the beggar opened his bag to see 
what he had collected throughout the day. To his great surprise, 
he found a piece of gold in the form of a grain. He immediately 
realized it was in return for what he had given to the Celestial 
being. He cursed himself for not having given all that he had in 
his possession.' 
Learn to give. 
The more you give the more will you receive in return;
if you hoard, it would only be for others. 

We are often brain washed into serving the "I." 
Can we wash our brains for serving the 'We'? 
To serve the 'We' is being creative. 
When we are creative, a great contentment arises. 
The acme of creativity is the flowering of 
consciousness. There is no fulfilment more satisfying than this. 

Life lived fully is a gift that we can offer to ourselves. 
There has never been, nor will there ever be, a gift greater than 
the gift of life. Share this gift with others. 
One of the services to humanity is to share the wise knowledge of living.
If we serve the universe, the universe will serve us. 
Let us experience the Law of Grace.
