PURITY OF MIND...

Once upon a time, husband wife and daughter-in-law son means four living beings lived in a family. Time was passing smoothly.
Read further
After a few years, mother-in-law made up her mind to bathe in the Ganges. That too husband and wife alone. Did not make up his mind to take daughter-in-law and son along with him.
On the other hand, the daughter-in-law thinks in her mind that what sin have I committed in God that I am being deprived of bathing in the Ganges.
When the mother-in-law and father-in-law started preparing to leave for Kashi for Ganga bath, the daughter-in-law said to the mother-in-law that you will have a good Ganga bath and journey.
Don't worry about the house here. My inauspicious deeds are rising now, otherwise I would have gone with you too.
After making all the preparations, both of them left for Kashi. The daughter-in-law was cursing her deeds in her mind, that if I had done good deeds today, I too would have gone to bathe in the Ganges. Kher stayed at home keeping her mind calm.
On the other side, when mother-in-law was taking bath in Gangaji. While taking bath, I noticed the cupboard kept in the house and started thinking in my mind that I have left the cupboard open, what a stupid woman I am, did not come after closing it.
The daughter-in-law will take out all the jewelery from behind. While thinking this, she was taking bath that suddenly the ring worn in her hand came out of her hand and fell into the Ganges.
Now the worry has increased that my ring has fallen. His attention was not in bathing in the Ganges but only in the wardrobe of the house.
On the other hand, the daughter-in-law thought that if I had auspicious deeds, then I too would have lived in the Ganges. Mother-in-law is so virtuous that she is taking bath in the Ganges today.
While thinking this, she brought a pot and filled it with water, and started thinking that mother-in-law is taking a bath in the Ganges there and I should take a bath in the Ganges here in a pot.
Thinking this, as soon as she sat in the chair, she found the ring of mother-in-law's hand and started thinking how did this ring come here, mother-in-law had worn it.
After doing all this, he kept that ring safe in his cupboard and said that he will give it to his mother-in-law when she comes.
There the mother-in-law returned after the whole journey and bathing in the Ganges, then the daughter-in-law asked about her successful journey and bathing in the Ganges.
So the mother-in-law said that the daughter-in-law did the whole journey and bathed in the Ganges but did not feel like it.
The daughter-in-law said why mother? I had sent you saying that don't worry here, I will take care of myself.
Mother-in-law said that while daughter-in-law was taking bath in Ganga, first my attention went towards the almirah kept in the house and as soon as she was taking bath, the ring came out of my hand and fell into Gangaji. Now you tell me how you feel in the rest of the journey.
She was telling so much that the daughter-in-law got up and took out that ring from her cupboard and kept it in the hand of mother-in-law and asked whether mother is talking about this ring?
Mother-in-law said, yes! From where did it come to you, I went wearing it. And it came out of my finger and fell in Gangaji.
The daughter-in-law replied that when mother was taking a bath in the Ganges, it came to my mind that look how virtuous the mother is that she went to bathe in the Ganges today.
What kind of inauspicious deed of mine was coming in the way that I could not go. After thinking all this, I thought that why should I pour water in the pot right here and take a bath in the Ganges considering it to be the Ganges.
As I did this and started bathing in the well, this ring came in my hand. I saw it is yours and how did it come here.
You went wearing this. Nevertheless, without thinking much further, I kept it safely in my cupboard.
The mother-in-law said to the daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, I will tell you how it came into your wallet.
The daughter-in-law said, mother how?
The mother-in-law told, look at the daughter-in-law, "If the mind is healed then the Ganga in the pot". My mind was not healed there. I definitely went there but my attention was stuck in the almirah of the house. And I was thinking in my mind that I have left the almirah open, in case the daughter-in-law has taken out all my ornaments from the almirah.
So tell me, when such bad thoughts come to mind, from where does the mind come and the ring which fell out of my hand, because of your pure feelings, came out in your bracelet.
The essence of this story is that purity is very important in life. At present the mind of every living being is impure, the mind of every person is impure.
Disorders like lust, anger, attachment, greed dominate the mind and consciousness in such a way that we are not able to understand them. Due to that deformity, our life is becoming very difficult.
We do not like the dirt outside, it is visible, immediately we start trying to remove it. We don't pay attention to the filth that is filled inside us.
The purity that is to be talked about today, that purity is not related to the outside, it is related to the inner purity.

THREE MANNEQUINS

The court of Maharaja Chandragupta was set up. All the members were sitting in their respective places. General Secretary Chanakya was doing the proceedings of the court. Maharaja Chandragupta was very fond of toys. He wanted a new toy everyday. Even today when the Maharaja asked what is new.
It is learned that a dealer has come and brought some new toys. The dealer claims that Maharaj or anyone else has never seen such toys and will never see them again. After listening, Maharaj ordered to call the merchant.
The merchant came and after saluting, took out three effigies from his box and placed them in front of Maharaj and said that these three effigies are very special in themselves. Although they look alike, they are actually very unique.
The cost of the first effigy is one lakh mohras.
The value of the other is one thousand pieces. And
The value of the third effigy is only one stamp.
The emperor looked at the three effigies very carefully. There was no visible difference, then why so much difference in price? This question troubled Chandragupta a lot.
Defeated, he gave the effigies to the members and said tell me what is the difference between them.
The members went round the three effigies and looked at them from all sides, but no one got the answer to solve this mystery. When Chandragupta saw that everyone was silent, he asked the same question to his Guru and General Secretary Chanakya.
Chanakya looked at the mannequins very carefully and ordered the porter to bring three straws. When the straw arrived, Chanakya first put a straw in the effigy's ear
. Everyone saw that the straw went straight into the stomach, after a while the mannequin's lips moved and then closed. Now Chanakya put the next straw in the ear of the second effigy. This time everyone saw that the straw came out of the other ear and the effigy remained as it was. Everyone's curiosity was increasing seeing what would happen next.
Now Chanakya put the straw in the ear of the third effigy. Everyone saw that the straw came out of the mouth of the effigy and the mouth of the effigy opened at once. The effigy is moving as if it wants to say something.
When asked by Chandragupta what is all this and why the value of these effigies is different, Chanakya replied. Rajan, character always keeps the heard things to himself and opens his mouth only after confirming them. This is his greatness.
This is the knowledge we get from the first effigy and this is the reason. That the cost of this effigy is one lakh stamps. Some people are always engrossed in themselves. They ignore everything. They have no desire for their praise. Such people never harm anyone.
This is the knowledge we get from the second effigy and that is the reason why the value of this effigy is one thousand mohras. Some people are raw in the ears and light in the stomach. No matter was heard that the whole world created noise. They have no knowledge of truth and lie, they just mean by opening their mouth. That is why the value of this effigy is only a stamp.
Which mannequin are you?
Education -:-
Friends, you should express your views on anything in life only after examining it first, never believe what you hear.

PARAI BETI

Do read this story in front of your children in front of your wife, I guess there will definitely be a change in life.
Sujata ji became a little disappointed, after sending her daughter now.
In fact, she was very happy, nowadays. Now the son has got married, the daughter-in-law is also of his choice, and the daughter is happy in her family.
Now her responsibilities are almost over, but still, once the daughter goes home, the heart is stressed, that's why even without wanting to.. Sometimes the eyes were tearing.
Suddenly he remembered an envelope, which Anju had handed over to him while leaving, that Mummy should sit and read it in her spare time, and think.
Not in such a rush. But where was their patience..??? Quickly opened it and saw that there was a letter, opened it and sat down to read.
Mother !! I am very happy that you have now become a mother-in-law from mother.
Although you became mother-in-law only after my marriage, but still the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is different.
I know, apart from being a good mother, you will also be a good mother-in-law. But still there are some things that I want to say to you, which I have seen and felt myself,
tried a lot. I should tell you myself, but could not gather courage, so wrote in this letter.
I know I am your only daughter. Because of which you love me a lot, everything you do is of my choice.
Then whether it is the curtains, bed sheet, paint or your sarees, jewellery, you have not taken anything without me till date. Even after marriage, we always went to the market together.
But now I want you to give this chance to your sister-in-law. Respect their likes or dislikes.
If you want, I will be present with them all the time. But never with or behind them, before or against them. Unless they have made some big mistake.
Because..... Now he has the right on this house, I know you will be troubled to know all this. And maybe a surprise too!
Because..!!! I have told you many things which I have never told you.
But... Mother, I have been seeing all this for the last 5 years, my words, my feelings, or my choice have no importance in my own in-laws' house.
Only and only my both Nando's have the right for this, I can't do anything there but I had already thought that I will not let all this happen with my sister-in-law, I will never become a sister-in-law like her, nor will I allow my sister-in-law to be like myself.
Now that house is theirs, they also have the right to take decisions related to it. Be it small things or big things. their consent is paramount
I have suffered, you know, mother, how sister talks to me when I make some changes in my own room.
Or if I bring any new thing in the house, how am I told about it...
All this does not work here, it will happen in your parents..!!! I hear these words almost 3-4 times every day.
Even when I ask them to come with me, they have different tantrums.
Never..... not today sister-in-law. Or you can bring it as per your choice!! There are many excuses for not going together. That's why now I have started doing everything myself, without caring for anyone.
You know, when brother comes to meet me, everyone's face in the house is worth seeing.
If someone sees a big gift or item in his hand, then everyone becomes happy, nobody lost his arrival empty handed.
It is said that he had come only last week, was there any special work....??? I know that's why he has stopped coming home now.
I am sure that brother would not have told this thing to you. That's why you please don't taunt someone from sister-in-law's house.
Because I know the pain of it, and also the joy of meeting the family.
Never tell them what they have learned from home?? Whoever doesn't know will teach with love, like you taught me.
Just wanted to say this to you mom!! Now I want to be a stranger!!
your anju
Sujata ji's eyes were filled with tears, her throat was choked, not a single word could come out of her mouth.
His little Anju has grown so much today that she has taught so many lessons to her mother. And what she herself has been tolerating for years, she never even let us know about it.
Sujata ji picked up the phone to talk to Anju, from there there was silence in response to hello and from there there was a shiver.

GURU'S BLESSINGS

Narayan Das was a skilled sculptor. His sculptures were famous far and wide. Narayan Das had only one sorrow that he had no children.
He was always worried about who would take over the legacy of his art after his death.
One day a boy of fourteen years came to his door. At that time Narayan Das was having food.
From the greedy eyes of the boy, they understood that the poor man was hungry. They fed him a lot. Then asked his introduction.
The boy said that his parents and younger sister died due to cholera outbreak in the village. He is an orphan. Narayan Das felt pity on him.
He kept it with him. The name of the boy was Kaladhar. He used to serve them diligently.
He used to press their feet as soon as he got leave from work. He used to watch carefully the idols being made by Narayan Das.
Many times he would bring a stone from outside and use a chisel hammer on it.
One day when Narayan Das saw him doing this, he understood that the child has passion. His worry was resolved.
He decided that he would give his art to this boy.
He said to Kaladhar, "Son, do you want to learn to make idols?" I will teach you.
Kaladhar's throat filled with happiness. He could not say anything, just kept looking at them.
Narayan Das taught sculpture to Kaladhar with great interest. Slowly the day also came when Kaladhar also became expert in making idols.
Time does not give the boon of immortality to an artist. Narayan Das fell very ill.
Kaladhar served his Guru with all his heart, but his illness kept increasing. One day his fever got high. Kaladhar was giving a wet bandage on his forehead.
Some indistinct voices were coming out of the Guru's mouth, "Son, there is no end to the height of Kala Dhar Kala." Don't feel bad about being found fault in workmanship, don't be proud of art. ”He lost his life while saying the last words.
Kaladhar did not cry as much on the death of his parents as on the death of the Guru. Slowly he returned to the old life. Started making idols.
One day a monk Maharaj came to his place. The sage asked Kaladhar to make a beautiful idol of the child form of Lord Krishna. The sculptor asked him to come after a month.
The monk was surprised to take so long but remained silent.
When he came after a month, he was stunned to see the idol of Lord Krishna. Krishna stealing butter.. It came out of the monk's mouth, "Wow, what a lot! Speak artist, what remuneration do you want?'
Kaladhar said, "Remuneration from a monk! Heinous sin! Maharaj, just give blessings.
“Son, I bless you that you will be able to understand the speech of the people of Devlok.” And then Sadhu Maharaj left.
One day Kaladhar was engrossed in sculpting the idol in his workshop that he heard the sound of two persons talking. With the blessings of the sage, he could understand their conversation.
Poor sculptor! There is another guest for five days. On the sixth day, one has to come to take his life. How cruel is our work.
The sculptor understood that they are Yamdoots. Now everyone is afraid of death, so he also happened. He started thinking of ways to avoid death.
He made five idols like himself. On the sixth day he sat motionless amidst those idols holding his breath.
Yamdoot came. They became very confused, 'Which of them is the real sculptor.' They could not recognize him. Returned empty handed.
Yamraj's anger knew no bounds after seeing the Yamdoots returning empty-handed. they roared.
Till today none of my messengers returned without taking their lives. How did you come back, go, whatever it is, bring the life of that sculptor.
The Yamdoots returned to the workshop. Even now they could not recognize him.
Suddenly a messenger got an idea, he said to his companion, "Wow, what a statue he has made, yet the sculptor is a fool." One eye of this idol is made big and the other small. The second idol has no thumb at all.
The sculptor did not tolerate the fault in his art. He even forgot the last lesson of the teacher. screamed...
"Lie! Both eyes equal" his voice kept sinking. The neck rolled to one side. The Yamadoots had taken his life.

ANGER MEDICINE

There was a woman. He used to get angry on every thing. The whole family was troubled by this habit of his. Because of that there used to be an atmosphere of discord in the family. One day a monk came to that woman's door. The woman told her problem to the monk. He said, “Maharaj! I get angry very quickly. I can't control my anger even if I want to. Tell me some solution. The monk took out a bottle of medicine from his bag and gave it to him and told him that whenever he gets angry. Put four drops of this medicine on your tongue. The medicine has to be kept in the mouth for 10 minutes.
Do not open your mouth for 10 minutes, otherwise the medicine will not work. The woman started using the medicine as told by the monk. Within seven days, he got rid of the habit of getting angry. After seven days, when that monk again came to his door, the woman fell at his feet. He said, “Maharaj! Your medicine made my anger disappear. Now I do not get angry and there is an atmosphere of peace in my family. Then Sadhu Maharaj told him that it was not a medicine. There was only water in that bottle.
Education:-
Anger can be treated only by keeping silent. Because an angry person speaks directly in reverse. Due to which the dispute increases. That's why the only cure for anger is silence.

MEDICINE BOTTLE

afternoon evening
There was a kind devotee of Lord Shri Krishna in Rajasthan, whose name was Ramesh Chandra. He had a medicine shop. A small picture of Lord Shri Krishna was placed in a corner of his shop. When he opened the shop, after cleaning, he used to clean the picture of God daily by washing his hands and showing incense etc. with great devotion. He also had a son Rakesh, who used to sit with him at the shop after completing his studies. He also used to see his father doing all this and since he was an educated young man of the new age, he used to explain to his father that God etc. is nothing, it is all an illusion of the mind.
The scriptures say that the sun revolves around the universe on its chariot while science has proved that the earth revolves around the sun, thus everyday science gives new examples to tell that there is no God!!
The father looked at him with affection and kept smiling. He did not want to argue on this subject.
Time passed and the father became old. Maybe they knew that now their end time is near...
So one day he said to his son, "Son, whether you believe in God or not, it is enough for me that you are a hardworking, kind and honest person. But will you take my word for it?"
The son said, "Say it father, I will definitely agree."
The father said, "Son, after my departure, one, you must clean this picture of God everyday in the shop and second, if you ever get into any trouble, tell your problem to Shri Krishna with folded hands. Just accept what I say." The son filled the acceptance.
Father passed away after a few days, time kept passing...
One day it was raining very heavily. Rakesh sat in the shop all day and the subscription also decreased. The lightning from above was also very disturbing. Then all of a sudden a boy got wet and came quickly and said, "Brother, I need this medicine. My mother is very ill. The doctor said that if she is given four spoons of this medicine immediately, only then the mother will be able to survive, do you have this medicine?"
Rakesh saw the paper and immediately said, "Yes it is." The boy was very happy... and after a short transaction went away with the medicine.
But what is this!!! As soon as Rakesh looked at the counter, shortly after the boy left, he was in a bad condition because just a short while ago, a customer had returned a vial of rat poison. Due to the absence of light, Rakesh kept the bottle on the counter, promising that he would put it back at the right place when the light came on. But the boy who came to take the medicine, instead of his bottle, he took medicine to kill rats and the boy was not even educated!!!
"Oh God!" Unintentionally came out of Rakesh's mouth, "It has become a disaster!!" Then he remembered his father's words and immediately folded his hands in front of Lord Krishna's picture and started praying with a sad heart, "O Lord! Father always used to say that you are. If you really are, today this untoward incident could have been avoided." Take it. Don't let a mother drink poison from her son, Lord don't let it!!!"
"Brother!" That's why a voice came from behind...
"Brother, I slipped because of the mud, the bottle of medicine also broke! Please give me another bottle...." Rakesh's eyes welled up with tears after seeing the picture full of God's adorable smile!!!
Today a belief had awakened within him that there is someone who is running the universe, whom some call God, some call God, some call omnipresence and some call God! A prayer made from a heart full of love and devotion never goes unheard.

SANSKAR

A very sensible and cultured woman lived in a village... Once she was going somewhere early in the morning with her son, then a mad woman came in the way of both the mother and son and the boy's mother felt very bad. She started saying well.
This mad woman said many abusive words to the boy's mother but still the words of that woman had no effect on the mother and she went ahead smiling.
When that mad woman saw that her words were not having any effect on this woman, she became even more angry and thought that I speak worse. Now that mad woman started saying good and bad things about that boy's mother, her husband and family. The boy's mother still kept moving forward without saying anything.
Even after saying good and bad for a long time, when there was no response from the front, the mad woman tiredly moved out of the way of the boy's mother and went on another way.
As soon as that woman left, the son asked his mother that mother, that woman said so bad things to you, said bad things to father and other people of the house, why did you not respond to the words of that wicked person? That woman kept on saying whatever came to mind and you kept on smiling, didn't you get hurt at all by her words?
At that time the mother did not give any answer to the son and asked him to go home quietly. When both of them reached inside their house, the mother said that you sit here, I will come.
After some time the mother brought some dirty clothes from her room and said to the son that take these, you take off your clothes and wear these clothes. On this the son said that these clothes are getting very dirty and a strong foul smell emanates from them. Has been As soon as the son took those dirty clothes in his hand, he threw them away.
Now the mother explained to the son that when someone quarrels with you unnecessarily and says bad things to you, then should you let his dirty words affect your clean mind? Damage ?
We should not spoil our mind by keeping dirty words thrown by someone in our mind, nor should we waste our time reacting to such things. Just like you cannot wear these dirty clothes instead of your clean clothes, in the same way how could I keep the dirty words thrown by that woman in my clean mind? This was the reason why I didn't mind his words.

HONESTY

A boy named Nandu lived with his poor parents in a small village. One day in the same village, two brothers were returning to their vill...
