How a relation to our parents should be:-

A Father was sitting on the Sofa in his House
along with his Highly Educated Son.
Suddenly a Crow Perched on their Window.

...The Father asked his Son: "What is this?"
The Son Replied: "It is a Crow.."

After a few Minutes,
the Father asked his Son the 2nd time: "What is this?"

The Son Said:
"Father, I have just now Told you "It's a Crow..!"

After a Little while, the Old Father
again asked His Son the 3rd time, "What is this?"

At this Time some Expression of Irritation was felt
In the Son's Tone when he said to his Father with a Rebuff:
"It's a Crow, a Crow.."

A little after;
the Father again asked his Son the 4th time; "What is this?"

This time the Son Shouted at his Father:
"Why do you keep asking Me the same Question again and again?
although I have Told you so many Times 'IT IS A CROW'..!
Aren't you Able to Understand this ??"

A little later the Father went to his Room
and came back with an Old Tattered Diary,
Which He had Maintained since his Son was Born.
On opening a page, he asked his Son to Read that Page,
When the Son Read it, the following words were Written in the Diary:-

"Today My little Son aged 3 was sitting with Me on the Sofa,
When a Crow was sitting on the Window.
My Son asked Me "23" times What it was,
and I Replied to Him all 23 times that it was a "Crow.."
I Hugged Him Lovingly each time He asked Me
the same Question again and again for 23 Times,
I did not at all feel Irritated;
I rather felt affection for My Innocent Child..
"

-When the little Child asked Him 23 times "What is This",
the Father had felt No Irritation in Replying to the same Question all 23 times; and When Today the Father asked His Son the same Question just "4" Times, the Son felt Irritated and Annoyed..! :(

So;If your Parents Attain Old age, do Not Repulse Them;
Or Look at Them as a Burden,
But Speak to them a Gracious Word, be Cool, Obedient, Humble,
and kind to Them..,
Be Considerate to your Parents.

From Today say this Aloud:"I want to See My Parents Happy forever.
They have Cared for Me ever since I was a little Child,
They have always Showered Their Selfless Love on Me.
They Crossed all Mountains and Valleys
Without Seeing the Storm and Heat to make me a Person;
Presentable in the Society Today.."

Say a Prayer to God:I will Serve My Old Parents in the
BEST Way
,
I will say all Good and kind Words to My Dear Parents,
No Matter how they Behave..! :))

Can God Be Seen

God is truth. God invites us to talk to him and engage him in what concerns us. We don't have to get our act together first. Now coming to the question "Can any body see God". I heard a very interesting story long time ago on this topic, I am going to share this with all today. Not only us once king Akbar had the same question and asked Birbal "Can we see God". I heard you saying many times that God is everywhere. To this Birbal said "Yes" Badshah you are right by saying that God Is everywhere. King Akbar said if you say so can you show me God and took the diamond ring from his finger and asked him a question "Is your God in this ring"? Birbal replied and said there is no doubt about God's presence in this ring. Badshah said in anxiety show me God now, Birbal was answerless and asked Akbar for some time and King gave him time to prove God's presence in the ring.
Birbal very surprised and puzzled went to home. He was very worried that how can he face the Badshah without the answer, he was very much afraid and anxious to find the solution for the question. Few days later when he was wandering in the house all troubled then he heard a noise on the door and when he went to take a look he saw a young boy in appearance of a beggar asking for aims. When the young boy saw Birbal in a trouble state he asked for the reason, to this Birbal told him about conversation with Badshah. The young boy with a little smile on his face said that's it, this is reason of worry to such a wise man on this earth. The young beggar said I can give Badshah the answer, but he want to meet Badshah personally and show him God in the ring.

Birbal little hesitated and surprised took the boy to the king and told Badshah Salamat that this is a very simple thing and even small boy can answer you in a moment. Akbar with a anxiety on face asked little boy "Can you show me God in this Ring". The boy boldly replied "Yes Badshsh Salamat". Before going ahead he asked for a glass of Dahi (Curd) and said I will answer after I have a glass of Dahi. Without wasting any time Akbar ordered a glass of Royal Dahi. After the boy was presented the glass of Dahi he began to stir the Dahi and replied "Badshah I only drink good and only the good Dahi with Butter in it". Akbar a little angry said to the boy that this the best Dahi of his kingdom as it was brought from his Royal Kitchen and this Dahi has Butter in it. The young boy said to the Emperor if that so can you show it to me. Akbar laughed at him and said you stupid little boy don't you know that Butter can be made from Dahi only after stirring it for a while and we all know that Butter is present in there. Akbar said you came her to show me God in the ring. The boy with smile on his face replied that Badshah I just gave you the answer to your question. Akbar little puzzled and asked him how, boy as butter is present in Dahi same as that God is present in your ring and everything.

God is the essence and the epitome of Consciousness. God is the one who gives us power, senses and lot of different things. God is pure, God is love, He is self-existent. He does not depend upon others for His existence. He is 'Swayam Prakasha' or self-luminous. He reveals Himself by His own light. He is self-proven. He does not want any proof, because He is the basis for the act or process of proving. God is 'Paripoorna' or self-contained. Supreme Peace can be had only in God. God-realization can bestow supreme happiness on humankind.

God Lives in You: He dwells in the chamber of your own heart. He is the silent witness of your mind. This body is His moving temple. The 'sanctum sanctorum' is the chamber of your own heart. If you cannot find Him there, you cannot find Him anywhere else.
