THOUGHTS

Aum SairamA Brahmin, when rebuked by his wife to earn something for the livelihood, finally decided to go to the city and try his luck. Since there was a fight between the husband and wife, the brahmin, left immediately, in the night and reached the river.As he knew, the boat man will come in the morning, he waited at the bank of the river, for the sun to rise.In the dark, he touched a heap of pebbles. To kill time, he took a pebble and threw it into the river, enjoyed the splash, and picked up another pebble. And whole night he threw pebbles into the river and killed his time, waiting for the boatman.The sun rose, and the golden rays touched the again-virgin earth. The Brahmin was about the throw the last pebble into the river, when the Sun spread its light as if Mother Gayatri would have removed the darkness of mind and filled it with the bright light of Knowledge and wisdom.He suddenly saw, the pebbles, which he was throwing into the river, were actually priceless diamonds. He saw the last diamond in his hand and wept," Oh ! foolish me! I threw all the diamonds in the river, i could have been more patient, at least could have waited for the Sunrise.We are all like that Brahmin, wasting the diamonds in the river in the darkness. The moments, we are wasting in killing time, are precious moments of our life,a breath of which could change our life and bring us into richness of life, but ignorantly we are wasting them.At least, we can grasp the last diamond !! And this is the moment!!Allah Malik
