for ever together




Why do we yell in anger?

A sage asked his disciples, 'Why do people yell at each other when they are upset?'

The men thought for a while, ‘because we lose our calm' said one.’ we Yell for that.'

'But, why to yell when the other person is just next to you?' asked the sage. ‘Isn’t it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you yell at a person when you're angry?'

The men gave some other answers but none satisfied the sage. Finally he explained, 'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot.
To cover that distance they must yell, to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to yell to hear each other through that great distance.'

Then the sage asked, what happens when two people fall in love? They do not yell at each other but talk softly, why? Their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small...

The sage 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.'

Then the sage said, 'When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other more, else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.

to ponder over




A Father was reading a magazine and his little daughter every now and then distracted him. To keep her busy, he tore one page on which was printed the map of the world. He tore it into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again. He was sure she would take the whole day to get it done. But the little one came back within minutes with perfect map.

When he asked how she could do it so quickly, she said, “Oh. 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.

Moral of the Story: There is always the other side to whatever you experience in this world. Whenever we come across a challenge or a puzzling situation, look at the other side. You will be surprised to see an easy way to tackle the problem.
Many times we may think solution to a problem is difficult but if we see other side of the problem solution may perhaps easy.. good moral story....
