This, My Friends, is a copy/paste - you may have come across it and I received it in a mail this morning.

Worth doing what your heart says to you!
Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier, as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out to bring his fallen comrade back.
"You can go," said the Lieutenant," but I don't think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away". The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway.
Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder and brought him back to their company's trench. The officer checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend.
"I told you it wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Your friend is dead and you are mortally wounded."
"It was worth it, Sir," said the soldier.
"What do you mean by 'worth it' ?" responded the Lieutenant. "Your friend is dead."
"Yes Sir," the soldier answered, "But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say...."Jim...I knew you'd come."
Many times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not, really depends on how you look at it. Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in your life........
"Let the spirit of friendship in us not die !!"

Judging and criticizing others
is
an exhausting job.
Loving others unconditionally
is
an infinite pleasure.
PS : Unconditional love precludes accepting abuse.

Wife: “I hate that beggar”.
Husband: “Why”?
Wife: “Rascal, yesterday I gave him some food. Today he came and gave me a book ‘How to Cook’”.
RUNNING FOR LIFE
Two campers were hiking in the forest when all of a sudden a bear jumps out of a bush and starts chasing them.
Both campers start running for their lives, when one of them stops and starts to put on his running shoes.
His partner says, “What are you doing? You can’t outrun a bear”.
His friend replies, “I don’t have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you”.
TONGUE TIED
A young man’s mother was living in Miami Beach and he didn’t see her that often. His father was no longer around and he was worried that his mom was lonely. For her birthday, he purchased a rare parrot, trained to speak seven languages. He had a courier deliver the bird to his mother.
A few days later, he called. “Ma, what do you think of the bird?”
“The bird was good, but a little tough. I have should cooked it longer.”
“What? You ate the bird? Ma, the bird was very expensive. It spoke seven languages?”
“Oh, excuse me, but if the bird was so smart, why didn’t it say something when I put it in the oven?”

Frank rejects the man in disgust. Matt, on the other hand, whips out his wallet, pulls out a couple of singles and gladly hands them over to the beggar with a smile.
The beggar thanks him kindly and then continues on to the other passengers.
Frank is outraged by his friend’s act of generosity.
“What on earth did you do that for?” shouts Frank. “You know he’s only going to use it on drugs or booze.”
Matt replies, “And we weren’t?”
RIBBING ADAM
At the Sunday School they were teaching how Lord created everything, including human beings. When Adam stayed out very late for a few nights, Eve became upset.
“You’re running around with other women,” she charged.
“You’re being unreasonable,” Adam responded. “You’re the only woman on earth.”
The quarrel continued until Adam fell asleep, only to be awakened by someone poking him in the chest. It was Eve.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Adam demanded.
“Counting your ribs.”

PEARLS OF WISDOM

There is a story of about a Sea-Captain who in his retirement skippered a boat taking day-trippers to nearby Islands.
On one trip, the boat was full of young people. They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm.
However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up and the boat began to roll & pitch violently. The terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer.
But he replied, "I say my prayers when it's calm.
When it's rough, I attend to my Ship."
Here is a lesson for us......
If we cannot seek God in quiet moments of our lives; we are not likely to find Him when trouble strikes. We are more likely to panic.
But if we have learnt to seek him and trust Him in quiet moments, then most certainly we will find Him when the going gets rough !
It reminds me of Sant Kabir's Doha (Stanza):-
Dukh men Sumiran Sabh Karen, Sukh men karen na Koi !
Jo Sukh men Sumiran Karen, Toh Dukh Kahe Hoi !
(Everyone prays during distress,
None pray during good times,
Whomsoever prays during good times,
Will never suffer distress !! )

DIWALI AKA DEEPAWALI

BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE
FOR
A HAPPY DEEPAWALI
Deep is a lamp in Hindi (D is pronounced softly) - word Diwali is derived from Diya + awali - Diya too means a lamp while awali is an extension added to signify festival or celebration. Implication finally is a 'festival of lamps or lights'.
While Diwali is popularly known as the "festival of lights", the most significant spiritual meaning behind it is "the awareness of the inner light". Central to Hindu philosophy (primarily the Yoga, Vedanta, and Samkhya schools of Hindu philosophy) is the belief that there is something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite and eternal, called the Atman (or the soul). The celebration of Diwali as the "victory of good over evil", refers to the light of higher knowledge dispelling all ignorance, the ignorance that masks one's true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging, infinite, imminent and transcendent reality. With this awakening comes compassion and the awareness of the oneness of all things (higher knowledge). This brings ananda (joy or peace). Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Diwali is the celebration of this Inner Light.
Good over evil prevalence is reflected in the Hindu epic 'Ramayana' - story of Lord Rama. The lights signify lit up Ayodhya, Lord Rama's capital city, to accord him triumphant reception after defeating the demon King Ravana of Lanka (Sri Lanka).
The Festival in itself celebrates in its various modes and meaning in/to various parts of the country/communities as under :-
- The Marwari (business community) New Year is celebrated on the day of the festival of Diwali, which is the last day Krishna Paksha of Ashvin month & also last day of the Ashvin month of Hindu calendar.
- The Gujarati New Year is celebrated the day after the festival of Diwali (which occurs in mid-fall – either October or November, depending on the Lunar calendar). The Gujarati New Year is synonymous with sud ekam i.e. first day of Shukla paksha (dark moon phase) of the Kartik (Oct/Nov) month -, which is taken as the first day of the first month of Gujarati lunar calendar.
- Please note that most other Hindus celebrate the New Year in the Spring - Baisakhi. Gujarati community all over the world celebrates the New Year after Diwali to mark the beginning of a new fiscal year.
- The Nepal Era New year is celebrated by the ethnic Newari(s) in the Kathmandu valley. The new year occurs on the fourth day of Diwali. The calendar was used as an official calendar until the mid 19th century. Most Nepalese celebrate the traditional new year in April i.e. Baisakhi.
