Know your strength, be happy
Once a saint reached a garden near his ashram, • He sees that all the trees and plants are withered. Seeing this the saints get worried and start asking them one by one the reason for their condition. First they go to the oak tree and ask. The oak tree says, I am dying. Because, God did not make me tall as a cedar. When the saint looked at the cedar, his shoulders were also bowed, he was withered because he could not bear fruit like a grape tree. This was what was eating him. At the same time, the grape vine was dying because, according to her, she was not able to give fragrant flowers like roses. When the saint went a little further, he saw a tree, which was full of full bloom and freshness. The saint asked him - it is a wonderful thing. I have walked around the garden. You have met the only satisfied and peaceful tree.
The tree said, all of them do not recognize their merits. They don't know that they are also very special in their own right. They only pay more attention to the characteristics of others. So sad. Whereas, I know that my master has engaged me, then there must be a purpose behind it. He would have wanted me to be a part of the prosperity of this garden. I'm happy. Because, I know that my being here is not useless. That's why I rely on my own abilities instead of being like someone else. This is the secret of my happiness.
Friends, like oak, cedar, grapes, instead of recognizing our own merits, we keep getting jealous and sad after seeing the merits of others. If someone has a good voice and is famous because of that, then we are sad to think that why our voice is not like this? Someone looks as beautiful as a model, so we regret that why are we not so beautiful too? We have to remember that there is some quality within every human being, there is a need to work on it and bring it in front of the world.
Important note to talk..
> Stop burning by looking at the merits of others. Learn to be content with what you have, otherwise you will always be unhappy.
God has made every human being special. Everyone has definitely given some quality. Recognize him and be proud of him.
👉 Second example:
Give people a chance to correct their mistakes.
Recently I saw someone's status on Facebook, 'Never judge a person by his past. Because people learn from mistakes, change themselves and want to move forward. I really liked this sentence, because it gives a very important lesson. Friends, every human has a past, which he wants to forget. He knows that he has made a big mistake and wants to recover from that. He wants everyone to forget that thing, forgive him. Don't even mention about that. Give him a chance. Let him start life afresh. Give him a chance to prove himself again. He wants everything to start in a new way now. Make no mistake now. Let no one get hurt, let no one look at him with contemptuous eyes. Everyone should give him as much love and respect as a common man should get.
He wants to shout out that whatever happened in the past was just an incident. I was not at fault in that. If you were in my place, you would have done the same. You too would have been trying hard to change yourself in the same way as I am doing…. Despite all this, people do not give him a chance. They remind you of your past, not only behind the back, but sometimes on the front face. They repeatedly ask about that incident. They want to know what really happened. How did it happen? If you must have hurt someone, then they tell this to everyone around you so that everyone stays away from you. Keep calm. No matter where you go to any city, any company, any place, they will bring your past to that place. They won't even think about the effect it will have on you. For them, this is a funny thing, which they are telling everyone by applying salt and pepper, but they do not think about its effect on other's life.
Important note to talk...
There will be people around you who must have made a mistake and you still remember that thing. Better forget him. Mistakes happen to every human being. You can also make mistakes, so give the other person a chance to correct themselves. Give him love and respect.
