The blind boy

A 24-year old boy looking out through a train's window shouted, Dad, look, "the trees are going behind; they are moving very fast" his Dad simply stared at him with so much joy and smiled! A young couple seated nearby looked at the 24-year old and thought to themselves, he's so grown up but so childish, he must have a mental disorder for his father not to be bothered. Suddenly the young man exclaimed again; Dad, look, "the clouds are running with us" the couple could not resist and said to the old man, why don't you take your son to a good doctor may be a psychiatrist? The old man smiled and said I just did. We are just coming from a doctor but not a psychiatrist ; we are just coming from the hospital. My son was blind from birth. He just got his sight today for the very first time, his behavior may seem stupid to you, it's more than a miracle to me. The young couple just sat down there, lost for words with a mixture of tears and shame in their eyes....

ONLY 24 MINUTES LEFT Once upon a time there was a war between the demigods and the demons. The demigods came to Earth, to India, where there was a powerful king named Khatvanga Maharaja. They requested him to help them – to become their general, their commander. He told them, “Yes I am coming.” And he went to the battlefield. It was a very big war, and at last the king defeated the demons.  Some of the demons were killed, and the rest fled away. All the demigods then requested the king, “Whatever boon you want, we will give you. We will give you anything you want.”  The King said, “Actually, I want salvation from this world, and I want to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead.” The demigods said, “We are not able to give you that. You can ask for another boon.” The King then said, “Then you should tell me when my death will come.” They replied, “Very soon; in 24 minutes.” He therefore requested that, “At once take me to the Earth, to India.” And they did so. By the time the...

When God hurts us

When people hurt us, we often want to get back at them, hurt them the way they have hurt us. When things go wrong in life, we may want to get back at life’s supreme controller, God, by resenting or blaspheming him. But attacking God is like spitting at the sky – it is the disfigurer who ends up getting disfigured. Resenters and blasphemers find themselves deprived of God’s enlightening wisdom and empowering grace, thereby becoming more vulnerable to the mind’s trivial tantrums and petty passions.   That’s why when life hurts us, instead of getting back at God, it’s far more intelligent to get God back – to reconnect with him through wisdom and devotion. This is illustrated in the narrative of the Bhagavad-gita. At the Gita’s start, Arjuna faced a heart-wrenching crisis: he had to fight and slay his venerable elders such as his grandfather and his martial teacher. Prior to this traumatic war, he and his family had been victimized repeatedly by the relentless machinations of his evil...
