Being instrument of God

-

A man moving through the forest and while passing through, he saw the wonderful scene. 

 There was a fox. It had only two legs and still was crawling on them happily. The man thought, how can this fox stay alive in such condition?! The fox can’t run, how he must be able to feed himself or stay alive from the threat of other animals.

Suddenly, he saw the lion coming towards the fox with a piece of meat already in his mouth. The man immediately climbed up on the tree to save himself. But, the fox stayed there only, it didn’t have the ability to run on two legs.

But what happened next surprised the man. The lion left a piece of meat which was in his mouth for the fox!

The man felt happy seeing God’s play. He thought that God who is the creator of all, always has a plan to feed his children. He felt that God must have some way to feed him too.

So, he sat alone waiting for someone to feed him too. As time starting to pass, he kept looking at the road, waiting for his food. He waited for long long time without any food! Finally, he couldn’t bear the hunger and started to leave.

He met an old sage on the way. He told everything happened to the sage. The sage first gave him some food and water.

After having it, the lazy man asked the sage, “oh wise one, the God had shown his mercy on the crippled fox, but why the God was so cruel to me?”

The old sage with a smile said, “True that the creator has a plan for everyone. You are obviously a part of the God’s plan. But Son, You took his sign in a wrong way. He didn’t want you to be like the fox. He wanted you to be like the Lion”.

Word to remember:

Do not keep the mentality just to receive from others. Better have the mentality to serve & feed others on behalf of God, as His instrument.

Very long ago, there lived a huge apple tree offering tasty apples to the people. A little boy became close friend to the apple tree. The boy used to play with the tree, climb the branches, sleep under the shadow, pluck apples, etc. Every day he visited the tree, and ate apples. The apple tree was so kind to the boy and enjoyed spending time with the little boy.   The boy joined school and could not spend any time with the apple tree. After several months the boy came to the apple tree. The tree was so happy to see the boy and asked him to play with it.   The boy said that he was not a little one to play with the trees. But he had another request to the tree.  The tree asked what he wanted. The boy said that he needed toys to play, but his parents did not have sufficient money to buy toys for him.   The tree replied, ‘Dear friend, I do not have any money to buy toys for you, but you can pick the apples, sell them, get money and buy the t...

Once a father and son went to the kite flying festival. The young son became very happy seeing the sky filled with colorful kites. He too asked his father to get him a kite and a thread with a roller so he can fly a kite too. So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held. He purchased kites and a roll of thread for his son. His son started to fly a kite.  Soon, his kite reached high up in the sky.  After a while, the son said, “Father, It seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher, If we break it, It will be free and will go flying even higher.  Can we break it?”   So, the father cut the thread from a roller.  The kite started to go a little higher.  That made a son very happy. But then, slowly, the kite started to come down. And, soon it fell down on the terrace of the unknown building. The young son was surprised to see this. He had cut the kite loose of its thread so it can fly high...
