The man of deep wisdom said,
"When the night watchman on vigil at midnight was casually repeating the words,
'Hoshiyaar.. Jagte Raho (Be alert and be awake)!',
All got up from their sleep, checked the doors for security and went back to sleep. But a young man thought,
'Am I sleeping in my life?',
Got instant awakening, opened the door and walked off into jungles for Meditation and Penance!
The Great Saint said,
'A crow got a piece of meat, flew to a tree branch to sit and eat the piece. In no time, a dozen crows attacked it together. The crow flew branch to branch to escape from the attack but the dozen crows equally followed. Finally, the crow dropped the piece of meat to ground..
The chasing crows immediately left the original crow and went after the piece of meat fighting within themselves. The original crow rested peacefully on the branch of the tree.
A Sage passing by saw that and thought,
'The only way to be at peace in this world is to drop the attachments with me!''
'The rich man of the town had a bad dream one night. He suddenly lost his monies, name and fame and was put in Cell with its own cold away from the warmth of his family. Utterly weeping in himself, he was looking at every corner for solace..
Suddenly he woke up from the dream profusely sweating. Instantly, he found himself in his own home with the family by his side and with all his wealth, name and fame intact..
He felt highly happy and relaxed with nothing really lost and thus further went back to sleep blissfully for the rest of the night..
In a similar manner, one who is truly delivered from the turmoils of mundane life will forever be freed from the conflicts and sorrows of life and from their harrowing hold!"
"Sir! What's the use of all these stories to a normal person like me? In spite of listening to all these, I behave in my own way and never becomes truly Spiritual. Spirituality is a myth for normal humans as the world is very much real for them!"
"Dear! You are very much wrong here. Even though the stories are from Highly Evolved Personalities, when I start doing my duties with dedication remembering these stories,
The young man's thoughts soon surface in me with
THE 1ST MESSAGE..
'Let me not doze off in my life!'
When I thus become attentive in my life, in further time
The wise crow story attracts me with
THE 2ND MESSAGE..
"Let me stop holding issues to heart as much!"
As I thus start letting lose the issues of mine, in short time,
The rich man's story wakes me up from my dream with
THE 3RD MESSAGE..
You have not lost anything in life!"
