Die Empty

*Die empty*

The most beautiful book to read is *"Die Empty"* by *Todd Henry*.

The author was inspired and got this idea of writing ​​this book while attending a business meeting. 
When the director asked the audience: *"Where is the richest land in the world?"*
One of the audience answered: *"Oil-rich Gulf states."*
Another added: "Diamond mines in Africa."
Then the director said: "No it is the cemetery. Yes, it is the richest land in the world, because millions of people have departed/died and they carried many valuable ideas that did not come to light nor benefit others. It is all in the cemetery where they are buried."

Inspired by this answer, Todd Henry wrote his book, "Die empty" where he did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late.

The most beautiful of what he said in his book is: "Do not go to your grave and carry inside you the best that you have.
 *Always choose to die empty.*

The TRUE meaning of this  expression, is to die empty of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it to the world, before you leave.

If you have an idea perform it.
If you have knowledge give it out.
If you have a goal achieve it.
Love, share and distribute, do not keep it inside.

Let’s begin to give. Remove and spread every atom of goodness inside us.

Start the race. *Die Empty* *Good luck everyone*

Challenges

 "Challenges in Life are not supposed to paralyze us, They are supposed to help us to discover who we are"

Good Morning & have a nice Day....

Faith

Footprints in the Sand

One night I had a dream.

I dreamed I was walking along the beach
with the Lord..

Across the sky flashed scenes from my life..
For each scene, I noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand,
one belonging to me, and the other to the Lord..

When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.

This really bothered me 
and I questioned the Lord about it:
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most 
troublesome times in my life 
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why 
when I need you most you would leave me."

The Lord replied:
"My precious child, I love you and would
never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then
that I carried you."

Life is beautiful

Living is a process of developing oneself. Without experiencing pain from disconcerting periods of our lives, we would be different person, perhaps a lesser person.

*LIFE’s LITTLE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE DAY-*
“Many times what we perceive as an error or failure is actually a gift. And eventually we find that lessons learned from that discouraging experience prove to be of great worth.”

*.. Good Morning.  Have a Great Day Ahead. *

Wisdom

*Unexpected Wisdom from a Bird...* 

A man caught a bird. The bird said to him, “Release me, and I will give you three valuable pieces of advice. 
I will give you the first when you let me go, the second when I fly up to that branch, and the third when I fly up to the top of the tree.”

The man agreed, and let the bird go. 

Now free, the bird said, _“Do not torture, torment and burden yourself with excessive regret for past mistakes.”_ 

The bird then flew up to a branch and said, 
 _"Do not believe anything that goes against common sense, unless you have firsthand proof.”_

Then the bird flew up to the top of the big tree and said, “You fool. I have two huge jewels inside of me. If you had killed me instead of letting me go, you would have been rich.”

“Darn it!” the man exclaimed. “How could I have been so stupid? I am never going to get over this. Bird, can you at least give me the third piece of advice as consolation?”

The bird replied, “I was merely testing you. You are asking for further advice, yet you already disregarded the first two pieces of advice I gave you. First, I told you not to torment yourself with excessive regret for past mistakes, and second I told you not to believe things that go against common sense unless there is firsthand proof.

And yet, you just tormented yourself with regret for letting me go, and you also believed that somehow there are two huge jewels inside a tiny bird like me!!?

So here now is your third piece of advice: _*"If you are not applying what you already know, why are you so intent on gaining what you do not know?"*_

Allah's decision

 *ईश्वर का गणित*

_एक बार दो आदमी एक मंदिर के पास बैठे गपशप कर रहे थे । वहां अंधेरा छा रहा था और बादल मंडरा रहे थे ।_
_थोड़ी देर में वहां एक आदमी आया और वो भी उन दोनों के साथ बैठकर गपशप करने लगा ।_

_कुछ देर बाद वो आदमी बोला उसे बहुत भूख लग रही है, उन दोनों को भी भूख लगने लगी थी ।
पहला आदमी बोला मेरे पास 3 रोटी हैं, दूसरा बोला मेरे पास 5 रोटी हैं, हम तीनों मिल बांट कर खा लेते हैं।_ 
_उसके बाद सवाल आया कि 8 (3+5) रोटी तीन आदमियों में कैसे बांट पाएंगे ??_
_पहले आदमी ने राय दी कि ऐसा करते हैं कि हर रोटी के 3 टुकडे करते हैं, अर्थात 8 रोटी के 24 टुकडे (8 X 3 = 24) हो जाएंगे और हम तीनों में 8 - 8 टुकड़े बराबर बराबर बंट जाएंगे।_
    _तीनों को उसकी राय अच्छी लगी और 8 रोटी के 24 टुकडे करके प्रत्येक ने 8 - 8 रोटी के टुकड़े खाकर भूख शांत की और फिर बारिश के कारण मंदिर के प्रांगण में ही सो गए ।_
_सुबह उठने पर तीसरे आदमी ने उनके उपकार के लिए दोनों को धन्यवाद दिया और प्रेम से 8 रोटी के टुकड़ों के बदले दोनों को उपहार स्वरूप 8 सोने की गिन्नी देकर अपने घर की ओर चला गया ।_
_उसके जाने के बाद दूसरे आदमी ने  पहले आदमी से कहा हम दोनों 4 - 4 गिन्नी बांट लेते हैं ।_ 
_पहला आदमी बोला नहीं मेरी 3 रोटी थी और तुम्हारी  5 रोटी थी, अतः मैं 3 गिन्नी लुंगा, तुम्हें 5 गिन्नी रखनी होगी ।_
_इस पर दोनों में बहस होने लगी ।_
_इसके बाद वे दोनों समाधान के लिये मंदिर के पुजारी के पास गए और उन्हें  समस्या बताई तथा  समाधान के लिए प्रार्थना की ।_
_पुजारी भी असमंजस में पड़ गया, दोनों  दूसरे को ज्यादा  देने के लिये लड़ रहे है ।  पुजारी ने कहा तुम लोग ये 8 गिन्नियाँ मेरे पास छोड़ जाओ और मुझे सोचने का समय दो, मैं कल सवेरे जवाब दे पाऊंगा ।_ 
_पुजारी को दिल में वैसे तो दूसरे आदमी की 3-5 की बात ठीक लग रही थी पर फिर भी वह गहराई से सोचते-सोचते गहरी नींद में सो गया।_
_कुछ देर बाद उसके सपने में भगवान प्रगट हुए तो पुजारी ने सब बातें बताई और न्यायिक मार्गदर्शन के लिए प्रार्थना की और बताया कि मेरे ख्याल से 3 - 5 बंटवारा ही उचित लगता है ।_

_भगवान मुस्कुरा कर बोले- नहीं, 
पहले आदमी को 1 गिन्नी मिलनी चाहिए और दूसरे आदमी को 7 गिन्नी मिलनी चाहिए ।_
_भगवान की बात सुनकर पुजारी अचंभित हो गया और अचरज से पूछा-

प्रभु, ऐसा कैसे  ?

_भगवन फिर एक बार मुस्कुराए और बोले :_

_इसमें कोई शंका नहीं कि पहले आदमी ने अपनी 3 रोटी के 9 टुकड़े किये परंतु उन 9 में से उसने सिर्फ 1 बांटा और 8 टुकड़े स्वयं खाया अर्थात उसका त्याग सिर्फ 1 रोटी के टुकड़े का था इसलिए वो सिर्फ 1 गिन्नी का ही हकदार है ।_
    _दूसरे आदमी ने अपनी 5 रोटी के 15 टुकड़े किये जिसमें से 8 टुकड़े उसने स्वयं खाऐ और 7 टुकड़े उसने बांट दिए । इसलिए वो न्यायानुसार 7 गिन्नी का हकदार है .. ये ही मेरा गणित है और ये ही मेरा न्याय है  !_

_ईश्वर की न्याय का सटिक विश्लेषण सुनकर पुजारी  नतमस्तक हो गया।_

_इस कहानी का सार ये ही है कि हमारी वस्तुस्थिति को देखने की, समझने की दृष्टि और ईश्वर का दृष्टिकोण एकदम भिन्न है । हम ईश्वरीय न्यायलीला को जानने समझने में सर्वथा अज्ञानी हैं ।_ 
   _हम अपने त्याग का गुणगान करते है, परंतु ईश्वर हमारे त्याग की तुलना हमारे सामर्थ्य एवं भोग तौर कर यथोचित निर्णय करते हैं ।_ 

*_यह महत्वपूर्ण नहीं है कि हम कितने धन संपन्न है, महत्वपूर्ण यहीं है कि हमारे सेवाभाव कार्य में त्याग कितना है।_*
