Short Stories

Once an unhappy young man came to an old master and told he had a very sad life and asked for a solution.

The old Master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and then to drink it.

“How does it taste?” – The Master asked.

“Terrible.” – spat the apprentice.

The Master chuckled and then asked the young man to take another handful of salt and put it in the lake. The two walked in silence to the nearby lake and when the apprentice swirled his handful of salt into the lake.

The old man said, “Now drink from the lake.”

As the water dripped down the young man’s chin, the Master asked, “How does it taste?”

“Good!” – remarked the apprentice.

“Do you taste the salt?” – asked the Master.

“No.” – said the young man.

The Master sat beside this troubled young man, took his hands, and said, “The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains the same, exactly the same. But the amount we taste the ‘pain’ depends on the container we put it into. So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things. Stop being a glass. Become a lake.”

Stop being a glass. Become a lake.”

A man died, when he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.

God said, "Alright Son, its time to go." Surprised the man responded, "Now...? So soon? I had a lot of plans..." God said, "I'm Sorry, but its time to go."

"What do you have in that suitcase?", the man asked. God answered,"Your belongings." Man shocked, "My belongings? You mean my things, my clothes, my money?" God answered,"Those things were not yours, they belonged to the earth."

"Is it my memories?", Man asked. God answered,"Those never belonged to you they belonged to Time."

"Is it my friends and family?", Man asked. God answered,"I'm sorry, they were never yours they belonged to the path."

"Is it my body?", Man asked. God answered,"that was never yours it belonged to the dust."

"Is it my soul?", Man asked. God answered,"No that is mine."

Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from God and opened. It just to find out the suitcase was empty.

With a tear coming down his cheek the man said,"I never had anything???"

God answered,"That is correct. Every moment you lived were only yours. Life is just a moment. A moment that belongs to you. For this reason enjoy this time while you have it. Don't let anything that you think you own stop you from doing so."

Live now
Live your life
Don't forget to be happy, that is the only thing that matters.
Material things and everything else that you fought for stay here.
YOU CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING.

Enjoy every second of your life.

Human Beings and frogs are the two creatures in nature who have tremendous power to adjust.

Put a frog in a vessel of water and start heating the water.
As the temperature of the water rises, the frog is able to adjust its body temperature accordingly.
The frog keeps on adjusting with increase in temperature.
Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore.
At that point the frog decides to jump out.
The frog tries to jump but is unable to do so, because it lost all its strength in adjusting with the water temperature.
Very soon the frog dies.
What killed the frog?
Many of us would say the boiling water.
But the truth is what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump out.


We all need to adjust with people and situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when we need to face. There are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action.

If we allow people to exploit us physically, emotionally or financially, they will continue to do so.
We have to decide when to jump.

Let us jump while we still have the strength!
