' Life May Shovel Dirt On You...! ' -
10th October 2010, 11:56 AM
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway. It just wasn't worth retrieving the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him...!
They all grabbed shovels and began to shove dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's surprise he calmed down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that fell on his back, the donkey was doing some thing amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shove 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 trotted off...!
Life may shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt. The trick is to not to get bogged down by it. We can get out of the deepest wells by not stopping. And by never giving up ! Shake it off and take a step up !
This is what happens and can be made to happen in practical life, but the inspiration to make it happen, lies in the inner balance. Had the donkey succumbed to pitiful wailing and got so bogged down by the grief that his master had forsaken him, he would never have been able to do what he did. Here we come to yet another saying: God helps those who help themselves...!
Therefore arise, awake and learn of the Great Ones, seek their inspiration and grace. Have full faith in your innate virtues and potential, for it is the proof of the God which dwells in you. Shed off the dirt of ignorance and wrong emotions and seek the 'divine power' within. Always be grateful for its presence and with gratitude will its power increase manifold and open the doors to holistic success and everlasting peace...!
Jeene ke liye mujhe ek sapna dedo
Haqeekat meri jaaN liye jaa rahi hai
