Once
there was a small boy named Shankar. He belonged to a poor family.
And one day, he was crossing through the forest carrying some woods,
when he saw an old man who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him
some food, but he did not have food even for his own; so, sad as he was,
he continued on his path. On his way then, later, he saw a deer who
was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have
water even for himself; so, sad as he was, he went on his way ahead…
Then
he saw a man who wanted to make a camp but he did not have woods, so
Shankar asked about his problem and then gave some woods to him. In
return, he gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old
man and gave him some food and gave some water to the deer. The old man
and the deer were very happy. Shankar then happily went on his way…
One
day Shankar fell down the hill! He was in pain and he couldn’t move;
no one was there to help him. But, the old man who he had helped before
saw him, he quickly came and pulled him up the hill. Shankar had many
wounds on his legs. The deer whom shankar had given water saw his
wounds and quickly went to the forest and brought some herbs; it so
happened then that after some time his wounds were covered. All of them
were very happy that they were able to help each other…
When
we give a good example and help the ones in need, we are truly helping
ourselves; not because we expect them to do the same for us, but because
we are filling our conscience with truth, we are building a stronger
and valuable persona in us, and because we are nourishing our own heart
with pure and beautifying love–i.e., a love which brings glow and shine
into our lives, and a love which brings bliss into all we do.
We
are all human beings, and as human beings we all have that inner light
within us but also we have that terrible darkness; and so, each one of
us must find a balance between our divine light and our terrible
darkness. Moments of bliss. Moments of misery. We all need to help
each other, especially help the weaker and innocent among us, and see
that we are truly the same; as we all feel joy and feel pain, as we all
desire to feel loved and happy… No matter how upset, how hurt you are,
always remind yourself of this…
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” ~ Matthew 5:14.
