A
beautiful message and my thoughts: -
A
rich man looked through his window and saw a poor man picking something from
his dustbin ... He said, Thank GOD, I'm not poor.
The
poor man looked around and saw a naked man misbehaving on the street ... He
said, Thank GOD, I'm not mad.
The
mad man looked ahead and saw an ambulance carrying a patient ... He said, Thank
GOD am not sick.
Then
a sick person in hospital saw a trolley taking a dead body to the mortuary ...
He said, Thank GOD, I'm not dead.
Only
a dead person cannot thank God.
Why
don't you thank GOD today for all your blessings and for the gift of life ...
for another beautiful day.
What is LIFE?
To
understand life better, you have to go to 3 locations:
1. Hospital
2. Prison
3. Cemetery
At
the Hospital, you will understand that nothing is more beautiful than HEALTH.
In
the Prison, you'll see that FREEDOM is the most precious thing.
At
the Cemetery, you will realize that life is worth nothing. The ground that we
walk today will be our roof tomorrow.
Sad
Truth: We all come with Nothing and we will go with Nothing ... Let us, therefore,
remain humble and be thankful.Be grateful to God at all times for
everything.
P.S: This message reminded me of a Bollywood movie that I saw ages ago where the protagonist of the movie Sanjay Dutt has disability with one of his leg and therefore uses a crutch to walk. One time he had to fight with bunch of hooligans and because of the disability, unlike normal Heroes who he was unable to do so. A distraught, devastated Sanjay Dutt walks into a Church and starts praying, questioning God, why was he born with this disability etc. Then in a typical Bollywood style, Church Bells starts ringing and suddenly Sanjay Dutt notices another person in the Church, who is praying. And that person has both his legs missing.

And,
then these words are played from the background and can’t remember. May be a son
on these lines.
Taqdeer
banane wale tune to koi kami na ki,
Ab
Kisko kya mila yeh to Mudaddar ki baat hai.
Somehow,
these two lines stayed in my mind. Let me talk a little bit about the meaning
of these two lines.
Taqdeer
banane wale tune to koi kami na ki,
The
one who makes fate, there is never anything lacking from your side (Oh God, you
are always just, impartial and neutral). For, example when sun shines, his sun
rays are spread everywhere without any distinction or partiality. When a farmer
sows his seeds, some seeds fall on rocks and some in the soils and the ones
that fall in the soil grow further. So, its interesting to think further. So
what makes some seeds to fall on the rock and some in the soil? That's where
the minute independence of a Soul comes into picture. It is the desire and
action performed by a Soul that creates further situations and reactions.
Going
further, we can see that in Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna says this,
Bhagavad
Gita: 9.29
samo
'ham sarva-bhutesu
na
me dvesyo 'sti na priyah
ye
bhajanti tu mam bhaktya
mayi
te tesu capy aham
I
envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all. But whoever renders
service unto Me in devotion is a friend, is in Me, and I am also a friend to
him.
One
may question here that if Krishna is equal to everyone and no one is His
special friend, then why does He take a special interest in the devotees who
are always engaged in His transcendental service? But this is not
discrimination; it is natural. Any man in this material world may be very
charitably disposed, yet he has a special interest in his own children. The
Lord claims that every living entity-in whatever form-is His son, and as such
He provides everyone with a generous supply of the necessities of life. He is
just like a cloud which pours rain all over, regardless whether it falls on
rock or land or water. But for His devotees, He gives specific attention. Such
devotees are mentioned here: they are always in Krishna consciousness, and
therefore they are always transcendentally situated in Krishna.
Ab
Kisko kya mila yeh to Mudaddar ki baat hai.
Now,
whatever one gets or has, is their destiny (For example a date, place, time of
birth and/or death are considered pre-determined and allows no control from any
human being. Because of aspects like these, a person is said to be subjected to
a Divine being and must accept with whatever he/she is given. And by doing what
a person intends to do with life and accepting what he/she is gifted with, this
particular person could create for himself a good life in the present and in
the future. Muqaddar in this context is like one’s adherence to a
pre-determined path for life. And although there are things that a person
cannot change or cannot control, good things will still happen if this person
will act on what he has control with using good deeds.)
