Importance of "Bhagavat Geeta" in our life.

An old Farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson.
Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his
Bhagavat Geeta. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate
him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagawat Geeta just
like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as
soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Bhagawat Geeta do?"
The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied,
"Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of
water."

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back
to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a
little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to
try again.

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he
returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible
to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man
said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just
not trying hard enough," and he went out the door to watch the boy try
again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his
grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak
out before he got back to the house.

The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached
his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, "See
Grandpa, it's useless!"

"So you think it is useless?" The old man said, "Look at the basket."
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket
was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was
now clean, inside and out.
"Son, that's what happens when you read the Bhagavat Geeta. You might not
understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be
changed, inside and out. That is the work of Krishna in our lives.."

When your hut is on fire!

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited
island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he
scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect
him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and
everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He
cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?"

Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

The Moral of This Story : It's easy to get discouraged when things are
going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our
lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the
next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just
may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.

The Smart Kid!!

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his Customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a dollar in one hand and 25 cents in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?" The boy takes 25 cents and leaves.
"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. "Hey, son, May I ask you a question? Why did you take 25 cents instead of the dollar?"
The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over!"

Moral: Sometimes, when you think the other is dumb, you are making a fool of yourself.
