YESTERDAY OR TODAY?


One day Buddha decided to go away for a little while. he asked his chief disciples like Ananda, shariputra and others to stay back at the monastery while he ventured out on his own. It was most unusual because generally Buddha went, he was accompanied by his devotees and disciples who doted on him and revered him more than their own lives. They always wanted to be around to behold his beautiful form, to listen to his tranquil words, and above all just to serve him. but, this time, budhha instructed them not to follow him until he said otherwise. Exploring new places, as he walked from one village to another, many people did not recognize him.

 They didn't think he was  Gautam Buddha because there was no entourage, there was no crowd. He was wandering like any other monk, discreet and alone. On the way, Buddha approached a man for alms. The man, however, was distraught and livid for his only cow had just died a few minutes ago. In a fit of rage, he began shouting at Buddha and hurled abuses at him. The sage kept quiet and walked away. But, a villager closed by felt the unmistakable presence of Buddha and recognized him. He pacified the abuser and said, "Do you know who he was?" "What do I care?" The man said. "No, you should. He was tathagata, the Buddha himself." "What are you saying?" The man exclaimed. "It's not possible because he always has a large crowd following him. Where are his disciples?"  "That I don't know but I can tell you that he was Buddha. I've heard he's traveling on his own for the next little while." 

The man was guilt-ridden and decided to find the sage so he could beg his pardon. The next day, he traced him and fell at his feet. "Forgive me, O sage!" he said. "I'm really ashamed for calling you names. Please punish me so I may be purified. "Punish you for what?" Buddha spoke calmly. "For swearing at you, my lord." "When did you say that?" "Yesterday". He said. " I don't know yesterday," Buddha replied. 

"I know only today." 


 You see, in life... The hardest of all human emotion is forgiveness. The most difficult human emotion to experience and act upon is forgiveness. It is the pinnacle of spiritual attainment, next to compassion. This story of Buddha has a very important message for all of us. We often hold onto grudges in our lives. When we do this, we are giving strength to our emotions of anger, grief, jealousy and sadness, hence, making them stronger we create a story around why we are experiencing these emotions. Instead, we should understand that life, in itself is constantly Changing. We make it harder by blocking our emotions and letting them get stuck. By practising forgiveness, we're allowing these emotions to move through us. The key to forgiveness is to show compassion and understanding for the other person. Understand that if you were them with their life experience and genetics, you would be doing the same thing. Find the part of urself that you can recognise in the other person. This is most important. And the end of the day, just let go...

    Sindhutai Sapkal was married at a tender age of 10 to a 30 year old man Srihari Sapkal. One day her husband beaten her up and threw her out when she was 9 months pregnant. On the same day she gave birth to a baby girl in a cow shelter, she cut umbilical chord by a stone imagining this is so painful but is true. After this incident she lost her faith in God and thought of committing suicide but then she changed her mind and started begging on railway station for food. As she started begging she realized that she was not the only one who was abandoned there are many children who are orphan and fighting daily for food for their survival. She then decided to take charge of all those children by adopting them. She has received 273 awards for her love and dedication towards orphans she used the award money to buy land and made shelter for
    her children. Till date she has adopted 1400 children helped them with their education. Some of them have now settled down in their own lives while others are running their own orphanages. It's not the matter she is born in India because I have seen many foreign women doing collection for India's extremely handicapped children so I feel very good that our world have such people also. They are really great women I bow down to them. How selfless they are. What need do some people have to anything for others. The fact is that they are workful and think keeping targets would make their lives meaningful☺️☺️☺️. And such targets which are really very important, changing the life of someone good suffering from a hard time is really a great thing no matter how much one suffers from doing it.

Hindu Code Bill And Ambedkar

 "I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved." ~ Dr B.R Ambedkar. The Hindu code bill was introduced in the Constituent Assembly on 11 April 1947 and was referred by a select committee on 9 April 1948, after 4 years of deliberations, it remained inconclusive. This was probably the longest debate on any single bill in the independent Indian Parliament.  The Congress was not eager to clarify the Hindu Code bill and because of this Ambedkar resigned from the cabinet on 27 September 1951  What was the need of a codified bill? The bill itself was an immense exodus from Hinduism and its humiliating set of gender laws. Until then, "Hindu law" was also casually interpreted through the oral reading of various contents from the Vedas, Smritis and Puranas. There was no real codification or uniformity, and women's lives were often in the hands of Hindu male interpreters. It can be said that in Hinduism there were two laws regar...

LIFE

Once upon a time there was a man who was living close to a mountain and everyday he was thinking: how would it be to climb that mountain, and what would I see on the peak? ๐ŸŒŒ And finally the day came and the man on the journey. Arriving at the foot of the mountain he met the first traveller. So he asked: how did you get up the mountain and what did you see on the top? And so the traveller shared his path and also the view that he had. But then the man, he was thinking to himself: The way that the traveller just described it sounds very exhausting.  I need to find another way to climb. So he continued on the foot of the mountain until he met the next traveller.  Once again he asked: how did you climb up that mountain and what did you see on the top? And so the other traveller shared his story still not being determined on which directions and which way to go, The man asked thirty more people, thirty more travellers.  When he finished talking to all of them, he finally made...
