MOVING ROCKS

A Little Boy Was Spending His Saturday Morning

Playing In His Sandbox.

He Had With Him His Box Of Cars And Trucks,

His Plastic Pail, And A Shiny, Red Plastic Shovel.

In The Process Of Creating Roads And Tunnels In The Soft Sand,

He Discovered A Large Rock In The Middle Of The Sandbox.

The Boy Dug Around The Rock, Managing To Dislodge It From The Dirt.

With A Little Bit Of Struggle, He Pushed And Nudged The Large Rock

Across The Sandbox By Using His Feet.

When The Boy Got The Rock To The Edge Of The Sandbox,

He Found That He Couldn't Roll It Up And Over The

Wall Of The Sandbox.

Determined, The Little Boy Shoved, Pushed, And Pried,

But Every Time He Thought He Had Made Some Progress,

The Rock Tipped And Then Fell Back Into The Sandbox.

The Little Boy Grunted, Struggled, Pushed, & Shoved;

But His Only Reward Was To Have The Rock Roll Back,

Smashing His Chubby Fingers.

Finally He Burst Into Tears Of Frustration.

All This Time The Boy's Father Watched From His

Living Room Window As The Drama Unfolded.

At The Moment The Tears Fell, A Large Shadow Fell Across

The Boy And The Aandbox.

It Was The Boy's Father.

Gently But Firmly He Said, 'Son, Why Didn't You Use

All The Strength That You Had Available?'

Defeated, The Boy Sobbed Back, 'But I Did, Daddy, I Did!

I Used All The Strength That I Had!'

'No, Son,' Corrected The Father Kindly.

You Didn't Use All The Strength You Had.

You Didn't Ask Me.'

With That The Father Reached Down, Picked Up The Rock

And Removed It From The Sandbox.

Do You Have 'Rocks' In Your Life That Need To Be Removed?

Are You Discovering That You Don't Have What It Takes To Lift Them?

There Is Always Someone Such As A Loved One Or A Friend

Available To Us And Who Is Willing To Give Us The Strength

We Need.

Isn't It Funny How In Life

We Often Try So Hard To Do

Things Ourselves,

When All We Had To Do

Was Ask For Help?

This post is somehow dedicated to the OP, to inspire and cheer up him/her .

There is much more in life than dark clouds, which in due time shall pass away.

Good post Harshran Paji, we should ask for help when we need it, or when we cannot cope. It's nothing to be ashamed of if we see others confident and things going right in their lives, but not in own. So, when one falls, they should get up again, no matter how many times they fall, try again, it will get easier.

I do totally agree with you Simran Pen Jee.

And we as humans, should do all that possible in our hands, to lift that person who can not even stand up, and offer our shoulder to make him/her walk confidently again.

The rest is destiny, each person´s own karam.

Once I read something beautiful which impressed me, and I would like to share it here, so it goes:

Human beings are born to just be helpful to others.

Nice, hanji, there are some people that get happy when somebody else is Dukhi, I know from experience from it happening to me, because I never used to do any chugli or say bad of anybody, and the people I thought were closest to me, didn't like this way of thinking, so when I was diagnosed with my health condition, I knew they were happy seeing me suffer.

Although, it did make me angry and it does hurt ones soul when nobody helps, but then God sends somebody else.

One should never give up, it may take some time, as you say according to one's karm, but patience is vital too. The main thing is not to overstress from the bad phases in life. I can't stay not stress at all, as every soul has some sort of stress in life, but knowing somebody is there, and one is not alone, helps.

Insaaniyat, is all about helping each other as best as we can. Je kise le koi kuch kar nai sakde, insaan honsla tha deh sakde.

does anything matter in this life??

good or bad.?

gurbani says nothing is real etc but then if nothing is real ,is what we do real ,does it matter?whether we do good or bad,if we are happy or un happy,if someone causes us heartache or makes us smile

what matters !!??

Gurbani says nothing is real so that we can de-attached from world seen as separate entity and gurbani says it so it can take us outside of maya then its more of meditative experience rather than conceptual, theological or philosophical statement. Its rather an spiritual stage in one life where world appears like a dream/not real as eternal witness- our true self seems more real than what is being witnessed, until the duality of what's being seen-witnessed and seer-witness is gone true purpose of life - absolute truth realization cannot takes place which is everything is god including world. Absolute true (Sat) realization transcendent both good and bad, there is no good and bad as per gurbani from absolute point of view (non duality gurbani stance).
