Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.
Once, it so happened that Lord Krishna was standing in front of the mirror decorating himself.
His charioteer waited and waited and thought to himself – usually, Krishna comes immediately, today he has still not come.
So, out of curiosity, he went inside to find out.
He politely asked, “My dear Lord, tell me, why are you dressing up so much today. Where are we going?”
Lord Krishna said, “I am going to meet Duryodhana.”
The charioteer said, “You are dressing up so much to meet Duryodhana?”
Lord Krishna then said, *“He cannot see my inside, he can only appreciate my outside. So how I am dressed will impress him because he cannot see what is inside.”*
Then the charioteer asked, “ Why are you going to Duryodhana? You are the Lord of the world. You should not go, let him come.”
Krishna turned back, smiled and said, *“Darkness does not come to light, light has to go to darkness.”*
*May the festival of Deepavali illuminate us from within.*
