The situation in front looked gloomy and disheartening. The man firmed up,
"The Lord alone has to save me here and my pledge to the Almighty goes thus..
'From today, I'm going to refrain from xxxxx pleasantry for life time!'"
Soon the tension passed and the man reiterated..
"I'll keep up my promise 100%!"
That 100% discipline no doubt continued for a while but in a weak moment watered down and the man fell flat to inner urge..
He felt sad but recovered soon and once again got into his busy life..
In time, there was 2nd tough situation in his life and again, the man took the pledge of refraining from yyyyy pleasantry..
No doubt, the toughness passed but the man's discipline failed again in keeping his pledge..
And no need to say the whole drama just enacted 100% when a 3rd zzzzz pleasantry was put on hold in one more tough situation..
That night with total confusion within, as the man went to bed, he had a strange dream in which the wise man was seen smiling at him saying,
"My dear! The Great Personalities too were no exception here as..
- The Great Saint lost the Celestial Position He acquired thru' His dedicated Penance because
He just yielded for praise in a weak moment..
- When the Great Saint having his own habit of chewing pawn questioned, said with a smile,
'May be, this body is living for that only!'
When threatened beyond, the Great Man on the advice of the In-charge escaped in disguise from the wrath of His attackers over which later, He said,
- King Yudhisthira known to speak no lie yielded when the enemy became challenging beyond repeating the words of seemingly Truth..
- 'Aswathama hatha.. kunjara ha!'
Instead, why don't you pledge to the Lord in all your bigger difficulties about 10 to 20% deviation from the pleasantries, limiting yourself there and all along keeping a vigil in maintaining that percentage..
Any time yielded, try making up for the same and thus
If done so with all sincerity,
SURE, THE HIGHEST WORSHIP IS OFFERED TO YOUR DIETY!"
