Why do people shout in anger and shout at each other?' Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout.'

You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.' asked the saint Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples. Finally the saint explained, .   'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot.  To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other.

Coffee or Cup?

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite ones. Telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Love Gossiping....???

In India around 350 BC in Magadh, Chanakya was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Chanakya ji, do you know what I just heard about Pandit Haridas ?" "Wait a moment," Chanakya replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." 'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance. "That's right," Chanakya continued, "Before you talk to me about Pandit Haridas, let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it." "All right," said Chanakya, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Pandit Haridas something good?...

Monkey Fasting

Once, a big group of monkeys decided to improve their life as they were not doing well in comparison to their cousins (!), human beings.   As humans have pleased God especially by fasting, they decided to fast too, although it was not easy for them. So, very next day they begin their fast. It was a group fast and all need to abide by rules to get the accumulative benefit. After half an hour of fasting they started feeling uneasiness in their tummy.   After all they were not accustomed to such a thing. When the squirming in the stomach became unbearable, the leader suggested," We should go close to banana trees.   We will be saving our time to go there at the time of breaking fast. Within minutes everyone was there!   After one long hour of fasting, the fidgeting in their stomach was at peak. One intelligent monkey suggested that we should collect all the bananas now and thus we would not be working hard in the evening, at the time of ...

One day I decided to quit...

One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, my relationship, my dreams ... I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. "God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?" His answer surprised me... "Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?" "Yes", I replied. "When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo." He said. "In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit." He said. "Then in the ...
