LOVE STORY.... Why not make BAPA's LOVE a part of your life today?

Once upon a time all feelings and emotions went to a coastal island for a vacation.

According to their nature, each was having a good time.

Suddenly, warning of an impending storm was announced and everyone was advised to evacuate the island.

The announcements caused sudden panic.

All rushed to their boats.

Even damaged boats were repaired and commissioned for duty.

Yet, Love did not wish to flee.

There was so much to do.

But as the clouds darkened, Love realised it was time to leave.

Alas, there were no boats to spare.

Love looked around with hope.

Just then prosperity passed by in a luxurious boat.

Love shouted, “Prosperity, could you please take me in your boat?”

“No,” replied prosperity, “my boat is full of precious possessions, gold and silver.

There is no place for you”.

A little later, Vanity came by in a beautiful boat.

Again Love shouted, “Could you help me, Vanity I am stranded and need a lift.

Please take me with you”.

Vanity responded naughtily, “No, I cannot take you with me.

My boat will get soiled with your muddy feet”.

Sorrow passed by after some time.

Again, Love asked for help.

But it was to no avail.

“No, I cannot take you with me.

I am so sad.

I want to be myself”.

When Happiness passed by a few minutes later, Love again called for help.

But Happiness was so happy that it did not look around, hardly concerned about anyone.

Love was growing restless and dejected.

Just then somebody called out, “Come Love, I will take you with me”.

Love did not know who was being magnanimious, but jumped on the boat, greatly relieved that she would

reach a safe place.

On getting off the boat, Love met knowledge.

Puzzled, Love inquired, “Knowledge, do you know who so generously gave me a lift just when no one else wished to help?”

Knowledge smiled, “Oh, That was Time”

“And why would Time stop to pick me and take me to safety?”

Love wondered.

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and replied,

“Because only Time knows your true greatness what you are capable of.

Only Love can bring peace and happiness in this world”.

“The important message is that when we are prosperous, we overtook Love.

When we feel important, we forget love.

Even in happiness and sorrow we forget Love.

Only with Time do we realise the importance of Love”

Why wait that long?

Why not make Love a part of your life today?

Why not make BAPA's LOVE a part of your life today?

Is ever; 

BAPA... BAPA... BAPA! 

When boisterous storms of trials shriek

and worries howl at me, 

I drown their noises, loudly chanting

BAPA... BAPA... BAPA! 

When my mind weaves dreams

With threads of memories, 

Then on that magic cloth I do emboss; 

BAPA... BAPA... BAPA! 

Ever night, in time of deepest sleep, 

My peace dreams and calls; Joy! Joy! Joy! 

and my Joy comes singing evermore; 

BAPA... BAPA... BAPA! 

In waking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping, 

Serving, meditating, chanting, divinely loving, 

My soul constantly hums, unheard by any; 

BAPA... BAPA... BAPA! 

BAPA shared this beautiful story in satsang today...

A Story of Two Brothers

Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict.

It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed without a conflict. Then the long collaboration fell apart.

It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's tool box. "I'm looking for a few days work" he said." Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?" "Yes," said the older brother, "I do have a job for you.

Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbour, in fact, it's my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll do him one better.

See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence; an eight foot fence so I won't need to see his place or his face anymore." The carpenter said," I think I understand the situation". Show me the nails and the post hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you." The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.

The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.

The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge -- a bridge stretching from one
side of the creek to the other!

A fine piece of work, handrails and all -- and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming toward them, his hand outstretched. "You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done.

"The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hand.

They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his shoulder. 'No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.

"I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but, I have many more bridges to build."

REMEMBER THIS:

God won't ask what kind of car you drove, but He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.

God won't ask the square footage of your house, but He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, but He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.

God won't ask what your highest salary was, but He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

God won't ask how many friends you had, but He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, but He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.

God won't ask about the color of your skin, but He'll ask about the content of your character.

God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation, but He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.

God won't ask how many people you forwarded this to, but He'll ask you were you ashamed to pass it on to your friends.

Faith doesn't get you around trouble, it gets you through it !
