The power of Gratitude

-

 There was an old man who was very troubled . He lived in a place where there was no water , it hardly rained , and crop never grew well .He had to bring wood from far away . one day , when he bought wood , a bug bit him . He started crying and said , "oh god , what wrong have I done that you are doing all this to me ? "

He tried to cook food , but it got burnt . whtever he did , problems kept increasing , he kept complaning to God 

one day , a saint came to his door and knocked .when the old man opened the door , he got hurt again and started complaning . The saint asked what happened . the old man replied , " please ask your God how many more problems I have to face in my life !"

The saint said , "okay ,      I'll ask ." 

He prayed , and God answered , "Tell him that no matter what happens , he should say , 'THANK YOU 'three times a day . If he does that , may be something will change . Otherwise , his problems will only end with his death . "

The saint told this to the old man and explained how to practise gratitued .

After some days , the saint  passed by that place again and saw the old man very happy . His land was now full of fruits and vegetables . The saint was surprised and asked God , "you said his problems would end only after death , but everything has changed !"

God replied , "He was thankful even when he fell down or faced trouble . He even said thank you when he failed . His honesty in being  grateful changed his life ."

MORAL

Gratitude can change your destiny . Even in tough times , if you stay thankful with honesty , your life will transform .

How I found Myself Again in Stillness and Service

💖  There ' s a strange rhythm we fall into . wake up , go through the motions , do our duties ,sleep  and repeat . That's exactly how I felt  when my daughter  was in 6th standard . I loved the moments spent with her -- they felt meaningful -- the rest of my time felt empty . i felt stuck , like i wasn't doing enough . something inside me kept whispering , " Is this all life is ?" Then , something shifted . One day , I met someone who told me about a 3- months course on life coaching , manifestation , healing , and how to apply the "Ask & Receive ". I decided to try it . Everyday , meditation -- which I had learned from my parents in childhood -- I practiced it sincerely . And slowly , something inside  me began to wake up . That's when life tapped me gently on the shoulder . a missed message , a tiny shift , a forgotten feeling . I started noticing things again . I realize how much I had been carrying silently . The parts of me that had been lo...

How my inner work began :A journey back to my self

-
 🍀Introduction There was not a grand moment . No sudden breakdown . No dramatic shift . my journey of inner work began in silence --in the stillness of early mornings , in the gentle discipilne of my parents who taught me to sit quietly , breathe , and connect inward . 👧Childhood memories As a child , I did not know what meditation meant . I only knew the peace I felt sitting in our pooja room , eyes closed , hands folded , heart open . My parents made inner stillness a part of life -- not something seprate . Yoga , prayer , reading spritual books -- these were not routines , they were ways of being . those moments shaped me deeply , even though I did not realize their power back then , 💔The Disconnection . school , responsibilities , social pressure , adulthood -- everything became louder , faster . Even after all this ,whenever I needed something , I would quietly sit in the prayer room and softly say what I wanted -- that s it.... Back then , I did not understand how things w...
