A Story To share with all of you
A Story To share with all of you
A temple-goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to temple every Saturday.
"I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 discourses. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the Swamijis are wasting theirs by giving discourses at all."
This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column.
Much to the delight of the editor, it went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time, my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.
"Likewise, if I had not gone to temple for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"
When you are DOWN to nothing. God is UP to something!
Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!
Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!
Remember.....
When the Devil is knocking at your door, simply say, "Bhagawan Sri Krishna, could you get that please?"
