ठेकेदार

तीन ठेकेदार एक पुलिया की मरम्मत के ठेके के लिए बोली लगाने पहुंचे। 

अधिकारी उन्हें उस पुलिया पर ले गया जिसकी मरम्मत होनी थी।

पहले ठेकेदार ने जेब से फीता निकाला, कुछ नापतौल की, कैलकुलेटर पर कुछ हिसाब लगाया और बोला – मैं इस काम को 90000 रुपए में कर दूंगा। 40000 सामग्री के लिए, 40000 मजदूरों के लिए और 10000 मेरे लिए।

दूसरे ठेकेदार ने भी नाप तौल की, कुछ हिसाब लगाया और बोला – 70000 रुपए। 30000 सामग्री के लिए और 30000 मजदूरी के। बाकी 10000 मेरे।

तीसरे ठेकेदार ने न नापतौल की न हिसाब लगाया। अधिकारी के कान के पास मुंह ले जाकर कहा – 2 लाख  70000 रुपए।

अधिकारी बोला – देख नहीं रहे। दूसरा 70000 में करने को तैयार है । कुछ नापतौल तो करो, हिसाब तो लगाओ तब बोलो।

तीसरा ठेकेदार फिर उसके कान में फुसफुसाया – पूरी बात तो सुनिए …… । एक लाख मेरे, एक लाख आपके और 70000 दूसरे वाले ठेकेदार के लिए जो यह काम करके देगा।

और ठेका तीसरे ठेकेदार को दे दिया गया……

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. 

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 

'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.' 

The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.' 

'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father. 

'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl. 

'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, 

chances are that I may let your hand go. 

But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, 

you will never let my hand go.'

We just have to have patience!!!!!

Once there was a sweeper in a well known temple and he was very sincere and devoted. 

Every time he saw thousands of devotees coming to take darshan of the Lord, he thought that the Lord is standing all the time and giving darshan and He must be feeling very tired. 

So one day very innocently he asked the Lord whether he can take the place of the 

Lord for a day so that the Lord can have some relief and rest. 

The Deity of Temple replied, "I do not mind taking a break. 

I will transform you like Myself, but you must do one thing. 

You must just stand here like Me, smile at everyone and just give benedictions. 

Do not interfere with anything and do not say anything. 

Remember you are the deity and you just have faith that I have a master plan for everything." 

The sweeper agreed to this. 

The next day the sweeper took the position of the deity and a rich man came and prayed to the Lord. 

He offered a nice donation and prayed that his business should be prosperous. 

While going, the rich man inadvertently left his wallet full of money right there. 

Now the sweeper in the form of deity could not call him and so he decided to control himself and keep quiet. 

Just then a poor man came and he put one coin in the Hundi and said that it was all he could afford and he prayed to the Lord that he should continue to be engaged in the Lord's service. 

He also said that his family was in dire need of some basic needs but he left it to the good hands of the Lord to give some solution. 

When he opened his eyes, he saw the wallet left by the rich man. The poor man thanked the Lord for His kindness and took the wallet very innocently. The sweeper in the form of the Deity could not say anything and he had to just keep smiling. 

At that point a sailor walked in. He prayed for his safe journey as he was going on a long trip. 

Just then the rich man came with the police and said that somebody has stolen his wallet and seeing the sailor there, he asked the police to arrest him thinking that he might have taken it. 

Now the sweeper in the form of Deity wanted to say that the sailor is not the thief but he could not say so and he became greatly frustrated. 

The sailor looked at the Lord and asked why he, an innocent person, is being punished. 

The rich man looked at the Lord and thanked Him for finding the thief. 

The sweeper in the deity form could no more tolerate and he thought that even if the real Lord had been here, he would have definitely interfered and hence he started speaking and said that the sailor is not the thief but it was the poor man who took away the wallet. 

The rich man was very thankful as also the sailor. 

In the night, the real Lord came and He asked the sweeper how the day was. 

The sweeper said, "I thought it would be easy, but now I know that Your days are not easy, but I did one good thing." 

Then he explained the whole episode to the Lord. 

The Lord became very upset on hearing this whereas the sweeper thought the Lord would appreciate him for the good deed done. 

The Lord asked, "Why did you not just stick to the plan? 

You had no faith in Me. 

Do you think that I do not understand the hearts of all those who come here? 

All the donation which the rich man gave was all stolen money and it is only a fraction of what he really has and he wants Me to reciprocate unlimitedly. 

The single coin offered by the poor man was the last coin he was having and he gave it to Me out of faith. 

The sailor might not have done anything wrong, but if the sailor were to go in the ship that night he was about to die because of bad weather and instead if he is arrested he would be in the jail and he would have been saved form a greater calamity. 

The wallet should go to the poor man because he will use it in My service. 

I was going to reduce the rich man's karma also by doing this and save the sailor also. 

But you cancelled everything because you thought you know 

My plan and you made your own plans."

God has plans and justice for everyone....

Anger

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails in to the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. 


Finally, the day came when the boy did not lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. 


The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

Life Is Wonderful

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet.
He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help."
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by.
He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat.
He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words.
He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.
That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.
The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were u the one who changed my
sign this morning? What did u write?"
/
\
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day & I cannot see it."
Do you think the first sign & the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the
boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective? 

Moral of the Story:

Be thankful for what you have.
Be creative.
Be innovative.
Think differently and positively.
Invite the people towards good with wisdom.
Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets.
When Life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have
1000 reasons to smile.
Face your past without regret.
Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.
Keep the faith and drop the fear.
Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs.
Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve.
Life is wonderful if you know how to live.
Each day is as special as you want it to be.........MAKE IT GREAT

The Master

When one Guru was dying, one of his deciple asked him "Guruji, who was your master?"

He said, "I had thousands of masters. If I just relate their names it will take months, years and it is too late. But three masters I will certainly tell you about. "

"One was a thief. Once I got lost in the desert, and when I reached a village it was very late, everything was closed. But at last I found one man who was trying to make a hole in the wall of a house. I asked him where I could stay and he said 'At this time of night it will be difficult, but you can stay with me - if you can stay with a thief'.

And the man was so beautiful. I stayed for one month! And each night he would say to me, 'Now I am going to my work. You rest, you pray.'

When he came back I would ask 'Could you get anything?'

He would say, 'Not tonight. But tomorrow I will try again, God willing.' He was never in a state of hopelessness, he was always happy. When I was meditating and meditating for years on end and nothing was happening, many times the moment came when I was so desperate, so hopeless,that I thought to stop all this nonsense. And suddenly I would remember the thief who would say every night, 'God willing, tomorrow it is going to happen."

"And my second master was a dog. I was going to the river, thirsty and a dog came. He was also thirsty. He looked into the river, he saw another dog there -- his own image -- and became afraid. He would bard and run away, but his thirst was so much that he would come back. Finally, despite his fear, he just jumped into the water, and the image disappeared. And I knew that a message had come to me from God: one has to jump in spite of all fears." 

"And the third master was a small child. I entered a town and a child was carrying a lit candle. He was going to thetemple to put the candle there.'

Just joking, I asked the boy, 'Have you lit the candle yourself?'

He said, 'Yes sir.'

And I asked, 'There was a moment when the candle was unlit, then there was a moment when the candle was lit. Can you show me the source from which the light came?'

And the boy laughed, blew out the candle, and said, 'Now you have seen the light going. Where has it gone? You will tell me!'

My ego was shattered, my whole knowledge was shattered. And that moment I felt my own stupidity. Since then I dropped all my knowledgeability."

"It is true that I had no master. That does not mean that I was not a disciple -- I accepted the whole existence as my master. My Disciplehood was a greater involvement than yours is. I trusted the clouds, the trees. I trusted existence as such. I had no master because I had millions of masters I learned from every possible source. To be a disciple is a must on the path. What does it mean to be a disciple? It means to be able to learn. to be available to learn to be vulnerable to existence. With a master you start learning to learn."

The master is a swimming pool where you can learn how to swim. 
Once you have learned, all the oceans are yours.

And finally GOD created MAN

And finally GOD created MAN

GOD created DONKEY and told him, 'You will work tireless from sunrise up to sunset, carrying heavy bags on your back, you will eat grass. You will not have intelligence and you will live 50 years. You will be a DONKEY!'

 DONKEY answered, 'I will be a DONKEY, but living 50 years is too much, give me only 20 years!' and GOD gave him 20 years.

 GOD created DOG and told him ' You will look after man's house, you will be his best friend, you will eat whatever they give you and you will live 25 years, You will be a DOG!'

DOG answered 'GOD, living 25 years is too much, give only 10 years!' and GOD gave him 10 years.

 GOD created MONKEY and told him, 'you will jump from branch to branch you will do silly things, you will be amusing and you will live 20 years, you will be a MONKEY!'

MONKEY answered 'GOD, living 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years!' and GOD gave him 10 years.

Finally,

GOD created MAN and told him, 'you will be a MAN the only rational being on this earth and you will use your intelligence to control other animals, you will dominate the world and you will live for 20 years.

The MAN answered, GOD I will be a man but living 20 years is not enough, why don't you give me the 30 years that the DONKEY refused, the 15 years that the DOG didn't want and the 10 years that the MONKEY refused ?'

That was exactly what GOD did, and since then:

MAN lives 20 years like a MAN, then he gets married and spends 30 years like a DONKEY, working and carrying the load on his back. Then, when his children leave he spends 15 years like DOG looking after the house and eating whatever is given to him. Then he gets old, retires and spends 10 years like a MONKEY, jumping from house to house or from children to children, doing silly things to amuse his grandchildren!

100 Mirrors

Long ago in a small, far away village,
there was a place known as the House of 100 Mirrors.
A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.
When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.
He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could.
To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 100 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.

He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 100 great smiles just as warm and friendly.
As he left the house, he thought to himself,
"This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house.
He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.
When he saw the 100 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 100 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors.
The reflections you see in the faces of the people you meet depends on you.
You have a choice!

Have a marvelous day and magnificent week ahead.

Why We Tell Stories

There was once a disciple of a great teacher. Day after day the disciple would sit at the feet of his teacher listening to his instruction. Many people would come to visit and inevitably the teacher would engage them by telling a story.

One day the disciple asked; "Guruji, why do you engage people by means of stories? Why don't you just give them your teaching straight out?"

The guru answered: "Bring me some water."

Now the disciple knew his teacher to be a very formal and disciplined man. He had never asked for water at this time of the day. Nevertheless, he went immediately to fetch it. Taking a clean brass water pot from the ashram kitchen, the disciple went to the well, filled the pot with water and returned. He offered it to his teacher.

"Why have you brought me a pot when I asked only for water?"

The moral of this story…

We share with others the lessons we have learned. We provide you with a banquet of various tastes and styles. It is up to you to choose that dish which you find most palatable.

My Master

WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT .   

A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to Leave the examination room and said,
Doctor, I am afraid to die.
Tell me what lies on the other side.'
Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.'
'You don't know what's on the other side?'
The doctor was holding the handle of the door; On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said, 'Did you notice my dog?
He's never been in this room before.
He didn't know what was inside.
He knew nothing except that his master was here, And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.
I know little of what is on the other side of death, But I do know one thing...
I know my Master is there and that is enough.'

meals-on-wheels

A cat died and went to heaven. God met her at the pearly gates, petted 
Her on the head and said, you have been a good cat for these 40 years. 
Anything you want is yours for the asking. 

The cat thought for a minute and replied, all my life i have lived on 
A farm and slept on hard wooden floors. I would like a real fluffy 
Pillow to sleep on. 

God said, say no more. Instantly the cat had a huge, fluffy pillow. 

A few days later, six mice were killed in an accident, and they all 
Went to heaven together. God met them at the gates of heaven with the 
Same offer he made to the cat. 

The mice said, well, all our lives we've had to run from dogs, cats 
And even people with brooms. If we could just have some little roller 
Skates, we'd never have to run again. 

God said, it is done! All the mice had beautiful little roller skates. 

About a week later, god decided to check on the cat. He found her 
Sound asleep on her fluffy pillow. God gently awakened the cat and asked, 
Is everything okay? How have you been doing? Are you happy? 

The cat replied, oh, i've never been so happy in my life! My pillow is 
So fluffy, and those little meals-on-wheels you've been sending over are Delicious! 

Jail

A woman awoke during the night to find that her husband was not in bed. She went downstairs looking for him. He was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appeared to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She saw tears rolling from his eyes as he sipped his coffee.

"What's the matter with you, my dear? Why are you down here at this time of the night?" she asked.

"Do you remember twenty years ago when we were dating and you were only 16?" he asked.

"Yes, I do," she replied.

"Do you remember when your father caught us while dating?"

"Yes, I do remember," she replied.

"Do you remember when he shoved that shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter or spend twenty years in jail?"

"Yes, I do," she said, getting a little teary- eyed herself at his fond recollection.

He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "You know... I would have been released today."

true story:

A woman was working in a post office in California .


One day she licked the envelopes and postage stamps instead of using a sponge. 
That very day the lady found a cut on her tongue. 
A week later, she noticed an abnormal swelling of her tongue. 
She went to the doctor, and they found nothing wrong. 
Her tongue was not sore or anything.


A couple of days later, her tongue started to swell more, and it began to get really sore, so sore, that she could not eat. 
She went back to the hospital, and demanded something be done. 
The doctor took an x-ray of her tongue and noticed a lump. 
He prepared her for minor surgery. 
When the doctor cut her tongue open, a live cockroach crawled out!!!!


There were cockroach eggs on the seal of the envelope. 
The egg was able to hatch inside of her tongue, because of her saliva. It was warm and moist...

I used to work for a print shop(32 years ago) and we were told NEVER to lick the envelopes.
I never understood why until I had to go into storage and pull out 2500 envelopes that were already printed and saw several squads of cockroaches roaming around inside a couple of boxes with eggs everywhere. They eat the glue on the envelopes.

Just take Care

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for her.

She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him.

"Just take care of my eyes dear."

Crime is same 2

मिसेज पाल एबॉर्शन के बाद होश में आईं तो उन्हें लगा कि उनके भीतर का सब कुछ मर गया है। यों तो यह सब उनकी और मिस्टर पॉल की मर्जी से ही हुआ था। दोनों पहले से ही सोच बैठे थे, पहले एक लडक़ी है, इस बार लडक़ा ही होना चाहिये। लडक़ा होगा तो परिवार भी पूरा हो जायेगा और वह कुलदीपक भी बना रहेगा। अल्ट्रासाउंड की रिर्पोट मिलते ही जब पता चला कि इस बार भी लडक़ी हुई है तो मिसेज पॉल एबॉर्शन के लिये तैयार हो गईं।

जाने क्यों, कई बार वक्त निकल जाने के बाद व्यक्ति की आंखें खुलती हैं। जैसे जैसे मिसेज पॉल को होश आता चला गया, उनके सामने बडे भाईसाहब का चेहरा उभरता चला गया। विवाह के बाद किस तरह से वे पूरे परिवार से कटते चले गये थे। यहां तक कि मां बाबूजी के जीते जी उन्होंने अपने हिस्से की मांग कर डाली थी। इसी गम ने तो बाबूजी की जान ले ली थी। यह तो बडी दीदी थी जिन्होंने इस घर को संभाल लिया था।

मिस्टर पॉल कह रहे थे, अच्छा हुआ इस मुसीबत से छुटकारा मिल गया। लेकिन मिसेज पॉल को लग रहा था, उन्होंने अपनी बच्ची की ही नहीं एक सहारा बनने वाली बहन की भी हत्या कर दी है।

The crime is same!

A worried woman went to her Doctor and said :
'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help!
My daughter is not even 1 year old and I am pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.'

So the doctor said: 'Ok, and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to perform an abortion, and I am counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!

'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be ok with it, so I thought may be that was the best solution.
The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is same!
