lamp a light in darkness

 



Once upon a time, a man was hiking through a dense forest. Suddenly, he came across a large, dark cave. As he entered the cave, he noticed that the path ahead was pitch black and he couldn't see a thing. He stumbled around in the darkness, feeling his way along the walls, but soon realized that he was hopelessly lost. Fear crept into his mind and he began to panic.

Just then, he saw a tiny light in the distance. He stumbled towards it and soon realized that it was a small fire burning in the corner of the cave.

Sitting next to the fire was an old man, calmly warming his hands. The hiker approached the old man and asked, "Do you know the way out of this cave?"

The old man smiled and replied, "I'm afraid I don't, but I've been here for quite some time, and I've learned to be content in the darkness." The hiker was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old man explained, "Sometimes in life, we find ourselves in dark, scary places where we don't know what's going to happen next. But instead of panicking and giving up, we can choose to find a small light within ourselves and focus on that. We can learn to be content in the darkness, knowing that eventually, we will find our way out."

The hiker realized that the old man was right. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and focused on the small light within himself. Soon, he found his way out of the cave, feeling stronger and more confident than ever before.

The moral of the story is that even in the darkest of times, we can find a glimmer of hope within ourselves. By focusing on that hope and staying calm, we can overcome any obstacle and find our way to the light.

  K rishna and the Fruit of Karma Once, Krishna and Arjuna were taking a walk in the forest when they came across a fruit vendor. The vendor had a cart filled with a variety of fruits, including ripe mangoes. Krishna and Arjuna decided to buy some mangoes to satisfy their hunger. Krishna handed the vendor a bag of gold coins, but the vendor, without weighing the mangoes, gave them a small portion. Krishna and Arjuna didn't complain and accepted the fruit. As they were about to leave, Arjuna asked Krishna, "Why did you pay the vendor so much when he only gave us a few mangoes?" Krishna smiled and replied, "Arjuna, the fruit vendor gave us not only mangoes but also a valuable lesson in the fruit of karma (action). Just as he gave us less than what we paid for, people often receive less or more than what they deserve in life based on their karma. We should always act with kindness, fairness, and generosity, regardless of how others treat us." Arjuna realized the pr

One day, a man walked into the barber's shop for a haircut. As the barber worked, he engaged the man in a lively conversation. The topic turned to politics, and the man expressed his strong opinions, which happened to be in direct contrast to the ruler of the land. The barber, realizing that he was in the presence of someone who held opposing views to the ruler, grew cautious. He didn't want to be accused of harboring a dissident.

The man nodded, appreciating the barber's subtle advice. He left the shop with a great haircut and a valuable lesson. The barber's clever choice of words had conveyed his message without directly criti
