Struggling Father desirous to see his Son - 35
My Dearest Beta Shanu,
Are you observing moon now days. Remember we use daily look at stars and moon before story and sleep. If you are observing have you noticed how it’s changing shapes. That’s nature beta, the only constant in nature is change. Change is also linked to hope; the hope that comes from living a clean life, hope that flows from authentic living, hope that comes from serving others, and hope that rests in finding a living God. All my hopes also reach up to you and end there as you are most sacred, clean, simple and God like figure I have come across. My love and hope for you is as sacred as the search for universal truth and path of righteousness and honesty. Remember change may be interpreted by different beings in different way, but the art is to observe, absorb it and create new endeavors and applications for the benefit of nature. The logic is simple that if the change affects nature it will also affect us, but it’s better to participate and create new concepts which will incubate new innovations. Remember the creativity should not be self centric then it may or may not help the purpose of change. I’m writing these values because some of them I have learnt from you, some from your grand parents and some of them my own experiences. I don’t know why I’m writing to you, but may my hope will carry me to you or vice versa but if, there always an if, the tide of change takes my hopes and the change itself in contradictory directions, one day they may remind me to have hope and trust in change. Though the above statements may look like very simple for most beings they are of extraordinary importance to me as my day comprises of past typically with the virtualization of you doing pooja with me, and then your tilak, then seeing you in your school dress and then …… ; and then with the acceptance of today and karma ; and then my hope and dreams for a better future. It’s like a chakra of illusions, ever moving and consistently changing, but always for betterment and improvement in the path of truth. My faith in you and God will never waver and my hope will increase with the chakra of time and change will constantly bring me closer to you, I hope and I pray!
Continuing on our storytelling journey, here is today’s stooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Beta today’s story is taken from the famous folk tales of fables. This is story of a Lion and tiny mouse. Enjoy!
“
Once upon a time in a jungle lived a very big lion. One day he was sleeping at the mouth of his den. As he lay there sleeping, a little mouse who was going in hurry, climbed over the lion without knowing that it was lion. The lion wake up and was angry with the mouse for waking him up.
He caught the poor mouse in his huge claws and said “How dare you disturb my sleep like this. I’m going to kill you.” The poor mouse was very frightened. “Please don’t kill me,” he begged. “If you don’t kill, I will repay your debt for your kindness.” The lion laughed loudly, ”What did you say? Do you really think that a weak and small animal like you can help a large and strong animal like me.” The mouse replied “ You never know, when I could be of help to you.” The lion let the terrified mouse go.
Mouse thanked lion for his generosity and ran away. The lion soon forgot about the whole incident.
One day mouse heard the loud cries and roars of the lion. He ran towards the loud sounds to see whether his friend lion is alright. When he reached near lion he saw lion caught in the net. Even the most powerful lion was totally helpless. Mouse went near the lion, “My friend remember I told you tough I’m weaker than you but I one day I may be able to help. Don’t worry the time has come for me to prove my worth and repay your generosity.”
The mouse with his sharp teeth made a big hole in the net and released the lion. Lion learnt his lesson and from there onwards both lion and mouse became very good friends.
HA! HA! HA!
