Hello Friends..

Lets start a Chat Club here in Grihasthi, to talk random stuff, something other than the show as well as little sensible, as the show isnt😆 so i've come up with the idea of having a chat club here, where we can relax, chill and talk without having the fear of breaching nd breaking the COC of IF.

All this thought came into my mind ,thanks to a book called "Teaching Stories by Jamuna Rangachari" which i am reading at the moment.Its a collection of small tales ,story of many philoshers, saints and known and learned people ,likes of Mullah Nasruddin, Gautam Budha ,Mahatma Gandhi to name few😊

The stories are very short , they are more like an incidents ,small conversation and what all these small things can teach us in the real world ,is the hidden moral of the book and also of this Chat Club.😃

We all can post the stories , small tales and have fun .Hope you all liked my idea...and if you think this isnt a nice idea...we can always drop it..right?😳

Let me post the first Story for today, Source : Sufi Tale.
Name of the Story : Bondage of Control

One day a Sufi saint was sitting with his followers when a man passed by dragging a reluctant cow behind him.

Saint asked his Followers ,"Who do you think is tied to whom?"

His followers' answered that the cow was tied to man.

Saint continued, "Who is whose Master?"

Everyone laughed at this absurd q's and replied that the man undoubtedly the master of the cow.

"What will happen if we break the rope?" Was Saint's next question.

In that case the cow will run away, answered the followers.

And the man?

He will...run behind the cow..they replied!

Saint smiled sagely!😊

Moral of the Story :

We think we own a number of things but end up becoming their slaves. We cling to relationship, instead of nurturing them ,ending up as their slaves, too. True independence can come only with non-attachment and equanimity.
-----------------
My confusion : Is this not right to be slave of your loved ones? whom you love and enjoy being with?😕

This is so true man........clinging to relationships sometimes just hurts you in the process because you don't realise whats happening after a certain amount of time. and the last sentence well thats just trueeee in all senses 😆 don't become to attached to people/things, you'll be happier... 😆😆😆 am getting there 😆 oh and it does work 😆

yeah, its right up to a certain point...........but even these people can end up hurting you or letting you down at any time...and some do end up misusing you hence it makes you feel like a "slave" for them ..............................thats what I think anyway, I can say more..leave it 😆😆😆

Time for another Tale..😃
Name : Nature's Wisdom
How hot today , a man thought, feeling irritaited and dissatisfied with life.
he was sitting under a walnut tree when his eyes fell on great pumpkin growing nearby.
"O God," he said aloud, "How foolish you've given such a small nuts to this big tree and such immense fruit to this thin small plant!Now if pumpkins were growing on this big tree and nuts on the pumpkin plant I would've admired your wisdom."
Even as he finished saying this, a walnut fell down on the man's head and startled him.
Astounded , he now understood Nature's wisdom."O God". he said reverentially."You are right, after all.If pumpkin had fallen on me from such a great height,i would surely have been killed. Great is your wisdom and your goodness"
-----------------------------------
I dont think..there is anything left for me..to say or comment..🤔 although this means..that even Simar's eyebrows are like this..due to some purpose🤔😆..or Andy is acting here..is because of some larger picture and purpose which is awaiting for him in future..🤔😆 and what we are doing here..is maybe becoz of some reason as well..enough of my...blabbering😆😆
now...lets see what you all have to say...😃
