ALL PARENTS are like ERASERS

        ALL PARENTS are like ERASERS

 It is a meaningful conversation between a PENCIL & an ERASER

Pencil: I'm sorry dear eraser.

 Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

 

Pencil:

I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser:

That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my ASSIGNED JOB. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad dear.

  

ALL Parents are like the ERASERS

&

All Children are like the PENCILS

 

 They are always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes.

Sometimes along the way, they get hurt and become smaller/ older, and eventually pass on.

 

Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse) but parents are still happy with what they do for their children

 &

WILL ALWAYS HATE SEEING THEIR PRECIOUS ONES WORRYING OR SAD.

All my life, I've been the PENCIL.

And it pains me to see the ERASER that is parents getting smaller and smaller each day.

For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings the memories of what I used to have.

  

 

LIFE LEARNING FROM THIS STORY 

 

May THE ERASERS live longer?

THE PENCILS write good things

FOUR WIVES

                       THE FOUR WIVES

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives

He loved the 4th wife.

He adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies.

He took great care of her

 and GAVE THE BEST.

He also loved the 

3rd wife very much.

He's very proud of her & 

always wanted to show her off… 

TO ALL HIS FRIENDS. 

However, the merchant is always in 

GREAT FEAR that she might run away with some other men.

He loved his 2nd wife a lot.

She is a very considerate person, 

ALWAYS PATIENT and in fact 

“MERCHANT’S MOST CONFIDENT.” 

Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always HELP HIM OUT AND TIDE HIM THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES.

Merchant's 1st wife is the MOST LOYAL PARTNER and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household.

However, the merchant 

“DID NOT LOVE THE FIRST WIFE” and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the merchant FELL ILL. 

Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me. 

But when I die,…..

 “I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!"

Thus, he asked the 4th wife, 

"I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" 

"No way!" replied the 4th wife 

& she walked away without another word. The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart.

Sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, 

"I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" 

"No!" replied the 3rd wife. 

"Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!" 

The merchant's heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife,

"I always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" 

"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." 

The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.

Then a voice called out : 

"I'll LEAVE WITH YOU. Also I'll FOLLOW YOU

NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO." 

The merchant looked up and 

there was his 1st wife. 

She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, 

"I should have taken much better care of you while I could have !"

Actually we all have 4 wives in our lives,..

Which one is MAN’s

FOURTH

WIFE

OUR FOURTH WIFE 

is our Human body

No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making to look good,     IT WILL LEAVE US WHEN WE DIE

Which one is MAN’s

THIRD

WIFE

OUR THIRD WIFE 

Our Possessions, Status and Wealth

When we die,

THEY ALL GO TO OTHERS

Which one is MAN’s

SECOND

WIFE

OUR Second  WIFE 

is our Family & Friends

No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, 

the furthest they can stay by us is..

..UP TO THE GRAVE ONLY

Which one is MAN’s

FIRST

WIFE

OUR FIRST WIFE 

is in fact our soul

Something you can’t see

OUR SOUL 

 The REAL WIFE 

But …often neglected 

in our chasing of

Material Wealth and Sensual Pleasure. 

“It is actually the only thing 

that follows us wherever we go.” 

Perhaps this is the TIME to cultivate &  strengthen it now

 Rather than to wait until

 we're on our DEATH BED .

WHAT Should 
I DO ABOUT This

The Least we can do is

LET OTHERS 

KNOW

MAN'S IMPULSIVE BEHAVIOUR

                           MAN'S IMPULSIVE BEHAVIOUR 

Read on

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block.

He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.

On seeing him, the dad shouted with series of questions: 

“Why did you take all this time to come?" 

"Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger?" 

"Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”

The doctor smiled & said: 

“I am sorry, I was not in the hospital & I came as fast 

as I could after receiving the call…… 

And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”

“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now..

"Would you calm down? "

If your own son dies now what will you do??”

 said the father angrily

The doctor smiled again & replied: 

“I  will say what Job said in the Holy Book 

“From dust we have come & to dust we will return

 blessed be the name of God”. 

Doctors cannot prolong lives. 

Go & Pray for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”

“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy” 

Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, 

“Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” 

And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. 

“If you have any questions, asks the nurse!!”

“Why is he so arrogant? He could not wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered with tears coming down her face:

 “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. 

And now that he saved your son’s life

, 

he left running to finish his son’s burial.”

 

MORAL

NEVER become IMPULSIVE in 

JUDGING PEOPLE, 

because YOU NEVER KNOW ... 

"HOW THEIR LIFE IS"

&

"WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH"

THREE LEGS OF GOOD HEALTH

 THREE LEGS OF  GOOD HEALTH

 

There was a king called Sheelbhadra.

 

He along with a number of ministers and courtiers was on a pilgrimage. En route they stopped at many temples. The king offered his prayers at each of the temples. Some days passed like this.

One evening as dusk fell, the king's party looked around for a place to spend the night. They found the ASHRAM of a saint. They stopped over for the night. During the night the king became sick. The saint’s people brought a Vaidya (Ayurvedic doctor) to attend to the King. The king recovered in a couple of days. During his stay at the ashram, he saw from close quarters, the hard life style of the residents of the ashram. To express his gratitude, he asked the saint to keep the Vaidya there on a permanent basis. He said that he would provide for a monthly sum to be paid as salary to the Vaidya.

 

Accordingly, the Vaidya was put up in the Ashram. Months passed. The Vaidya had to sit idle all the time because nobody seemed to fall sick there. One day the Vaidya got fed up of his idleness and said, "Oh sage! I really don't think that I am needed here; I am fed up of sitting idle all the time. Please ask the King to relieve me of my services."

 

The saint smiled. The Vaidya went on, "Tell me, Oh Holy one!

How it is that nobody falls sick here?

 

 

Is it because you have a tantra-mantra of protection over them?" The saint laughed and said, "Let me tell you the mantra of our good health. All of us here wake up at the break of day. We work hard from dawn to dusk. We eat frugally because we eat to live; not live to eat. This place has fresh air and sunlight. Our rooms are cooled by the breeze of trees we have planted all around. Where is there room for any illness to creep in?"

 

Always remember

·    Living close to NATURE,

·    Eating Simple Food &

·     Working Hard

are the three legs of the tripod of good health.

 

In today's world we want to satisfy our taste buds with pizzas and burgers; pakoras and rasmalais; pastries and cheese puffs.

 

We use gadgets to execute all the menial jobs around us, but when it comes to eating, we want to eat all the rich food that is loaded with calories that we don't know how to burn!
