THOUGHT OF THE DAY

I love this! Moved me to tears...
In this African tribe, when someone does something harmful, they take the person to the center of the village where the whole tribe comes and surrounds them.
For two days, they will say to the man all the good things that he has done.

The tribe believes that each human being comes into the world as a good. Each one of us only desiring safety, love, peace and happiness.
But sometimes, in the pursuit of these things, people make mistakes.
The community sees those mistakes as a cry for help.
They unite then to lift him, to reconnect him with his true nature, to remind him who he really is, until he fully remembers the truth of which he had been temporarily disconnected: "I am good."
Shikoba Nabajyotisaikia!
NABAJYOTISAIKIA, is a compliment used in South Africa and means: "I respect you, I cherish you. You matter to me." In response, people say SHIKOBA, which is: "So, I exist for you."

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

" दृष्टिकोण का फ़र्क " .
.
.
बहुत समय पहले की बात है ,
किसी गाँव में एक किसान रहता था .
वह रोज़ भोर में उठकर दूर झरनों से स्वच्छ पानी लेने जाया करता था .
इस काम के लिए वह अपने साथ दो बड़े घड़े ले जाता था , जिन्हें वो डंडे में बाँध कर अपने कंधे पर दोनों ओर लटका लेता था . उनमे से एक घड़ा कहीं से फूटा हुआ था ,और दूसरा एक दम सही था .
इस वजह से रोज़ घर पहुँचते -पहुचते किसान के पास डेढ़ घड़ा पानी ही बच पाता था .ऐसा दो सालों से चल रहा था . सही घड़े को इस बात का घमंड था कि वो पूरा का पूरा पानी घर पहुंचता है और उसके अन्दर कोई कमी नहीं है,
वहीँ दूसरी तरफ फूटा घड़ा इस बात से शर्मिंदा रहता था कि वो आधा पानी ही घर तक पंहुचा पाता है और किसान की मेहनत बेकार चली जाती है .
.
फूटा घड़ा ये सब सोच कर बहुत परेशान रहने लगा और एक दिन उससे रहा नहीं गया , उसने किसान से कहा ,
“ मैं खुद पर शर्मिंदा हूँ और आपसे क्षमा मांगना चाहता हूँ?”
“क्यों ? “ , किसान ने पूछा ,
“ तुम किस बात से शर्मिंदा हो ?”
“शायद आप नहीं जानते पर मैं एक जगह से फूटा हुआ हूँ ,
और पिछले दो सालों से मुझे जितना पानी घर पहुँचाना चाहिए था बस उसका आधा ही पहुंचा पाया हूँ , मेरे अन्दर ये बहुत बड़ी कमी है , और इस वजह से आपकी मेहनत बर्वाद होती रही है .” ,
फूटे घड़े ने दुखी होते हुए कहा.
.
किसान को घड़े की बात सुनकर थोडा दुःख हुआ और वह बोला , “ कोई बात नहीं , मैं चाहता हूँ कि आज लौटते वक़्त तुम रास्ते में पड़ने वाले सुन्दर फूलों को देखो .”
घड़े ने वैसा ही किया , वह रास्ते भर सुन्दर फूलों को देखता आया , ऐसा करने से उसकी उदासी कुछ दूर हुई पर घर पहुँचते – पहुँचते फिर उसके अन्दर से आधा पानी गिर चुका था, वो मायूस हो गया और किसान से क्षमा मांगने लगा .
.
किसान बोला ,” शायद तुमने ध्यान नहीं दिया पूरे रास्ते में जितने भी फूल थे वो बस तुम्हारी तरफ ही थे ,
सही घड़े की तरफ एक भी फूल नहीं था .
ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि मैं हमेशा से तुम्हारे अन्दर की कमी को जानता था ,
और मैंने उसका लाभ उठाया . मैंने तुम्हारे तरफ वाले रास्ते पर रंग -बिरंगे फूलों के बीज बो दिए थे ,
तुम रोज़ थोडा-थोडा कर के उन्हें सींचते रहे और पूरे रास्ते को इतना खूबसूरत बना दिया .
आज तुम्हारी वजह से ही मैं इन फूलों को भगवान को अर्पित कर पाता हूँ और अपना घर सुन्दर बना पाता हूँ . तुम्ही सोचो अगर तुम जैसे हो वैसे नहीं होते तो भला क्या मैं ये सब कुछ कर पाता ?”
.
.
.
‪#‎MORAL‬ :-
" दोस्तों हम सभी के अन्दर कोई ना कोई कमी होती है , पर यही कमियां हमें अनोखा बनाती हैं . "
उस किसान की तरह हमें भी हर किसी को वो जैसा है वैसे ही स्वीकारना चाहिए और उसकी अच्छाई की तरफ ध्यान देना चाहिए,
और जब हम ऐसा करेंगे तब “फूटा घड़ा” भी “अच्छे घड़े” से मूल्यवान हो जायेगा.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

 God!!

God was sitting in heaven one day when a scientist said to Him, “God, we don’t need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing – in other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning.
“Oh, is that so? Tell Me…” replies God.
“Well,” says the scientist, “we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man.”
“Well, that’s very interesting…show Me.”
So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil into the shape of a man.
“No, no, no…” interrupts God, “Get your own dirt.”

Dad, there is a man’s face on the other side of the paper….. I made the face perfect to get the map right.” She ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.

This one is absolutely awesome

One day Gautam Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him.

"You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."

Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man

"Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."

The Buddha smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger

falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."

If you are right then there is no need to get angry, and if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.

Patience with family is love,

Patience with others is respect,

Patience with self is confidence, and Patience with GOD is faith.

Never Think Hard about PAST,

It brings Tears...

Don't Think more about FUTURE,

It brings Fears...

Live this Moment with a Smile,

It brings Cheers...!!!

Stay Calm..😊

A wonderful short story :: How can we be HAPPY?

Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar.
Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the the person whose name was written on it.
Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The speaker began— Exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, you will get your own happiness.
And this is the purpose of human life.
Is this not what you are looking for?
