Fate and Intelect

                                     Now a days it has become a habit togo to an astrologer or a numerologist  to know about our fate.  This some times gives us happiness, some times sadden's us.  Is it correct to know about it or should we use our intelect to over come this?  This is the question which has to be answered.
                                     Once a man went to a astrologer. He gave his horoscope to be analysed. The astrologer took two days to go through the horoscope and finally told the man - You will live for another month only.  This news upset the man very much.  He started grumbling to everyone he saw about this.  He said that he wanted to live atleast for another ten years.  People were tired listening to him. To avoid him and his grumbling , one of them said, you go to Sage Vashista, he will surely help you to change your age somehow.  
                                    He went to the Sage and told him of his fate.  Taking pity on him the sage decided to help this man.  He went straight to Yama and enquired about this.  Darma Raja said -'whatever is written in one's fate cannot be extended or reduced.  Then the sage asked the death god to atleast tell him at what time he is going to die.  Yama said, all the details are kept in the record room, you are at liberty to verify it yourself.  Vashista started hunting for this man's details.  Days passed on. One, two, three. Even after ten days he was not able to find the details. The next day sage Vashista decided in his mind that, today will be the last day, if I don't find the details today, I will stop searching for the record. Deciding thus he started
searching for it.  Fortunately he found the details.  He eagerly opened the record to know the details.  It was
written -' the day sage Vashista finds the record and reads it, this man will die.'
                                  So dear friends do not try to change your fate using your intelect. Knowing your fate is the most unfortunate thing, as fate always goes hand in glows with intelect.

Voice of god

                            Everyone of us aspire for a saviour in our distress. Someone who could help,or protect
us in our hard difficult times and bring happiness. But we fail to recognise the voice of god that guides us.
No we don't beleive that voice.  here we go................
                           There was a young man,pious and religious.  Once he wanted to go up a mountain to
the shrine of god there.  It was already 2p.m. in the afternoon, and going up and coming down the mountain
would take him nearly 5 to 6 hours.  He thought that he could travel the distance within four to five hours as
he was very young and energitic.Hence started off.  Went up, prayed to God heartfully, sincerely and devotionally. Fully satified he started off on his return journey. He didn't know that climbing the mountain was more easier than getting down.  Sun started setting.  Darkness made his journey more strainful and difficult.  He had to be more careful as there were deep vallies on his path.  He found that trekking down the  mountain was very hard and  frightening. Then suddenly he fell down into a pit. But fortunately  caught hold of a branch and hung himself from the tree.  Fallen into distress he prayed to God .-Oh God where are you? Why don't you come and help me. The ever kindhearted God spoke to him-my son leave your hold, you will be saved.The man started thinking, this branch is my saviour now.  I do not know how deep the valley is.  Suppose I fall down and die?  No, let me hang till dawn.  Pity  the next day some pilgrims who passed by, brought down his deadbody from the tree, told - how stupid the height between the tree and the ground was just 5 feet, he could have easily jumped down, than straining himself to death. 
                           In this same way many of us do not hear the voice that speaks within us.  But try to blame
God for beihg unkind.  The concious is the God's voice, which guides us into positive thinking.  We tend
to ignore it as it is very feeble. We have to concentrate on it and try to follow. 

                                                                                                                         Thankyou

Mother's Love

                          Going round the earth six times, having bath in the ganges sixteen hundred times,whatever
sanctity or grace of God is acheived, can be easily acquired by lovingly prostrating your mother once. Mother is the embodiment of love, affection, sacrifice and passion. here goes..............
                         There was a young man who loved his mother very much. They were leading a happy
peaceful and fulfilling life.  There entered a beautiful girl in this man's life. He liked her in the first sight,
"Love at first sight". She wanted to test his love and put forth a task to be fulfilled. She said- to prove
 your love, you have to bring your mother's heart to me. Woh! what a task. Blinded by the love, the
young man told his mother about this without any hesitence.  The mother a loving creature on this earth,
replied-my son, if my heart can bring  happiness in your life, I am ready forS this.  He took the mother's
heart.(you can imagine how).  On the way to the lover's house he tripped on a boulder and fell down.
At once the mother's heart in his hand spoke, son be careful, are U hurt? Mother remains to be a
mother, even though mother's are not recognised. Can we think now, of the old age homes around us?S
