The Story Teller

Here is a list of ten characters and what we can learn from what was once remembered by Vyasa and what was once heard by Arjuna. 1. Krishna taught us that one must perform his duty. Krishna opens his mouth and shows the entire cosmos to Arjuna. Krishna tells Arjuna that Dharma is both rock-like (Dhar) and pliable like wax (Flowing). Dharma is not your institutional religion. It is your natural and binding duty. It is of ethical nature and you are born with it. A king’s dharma is to perform his kingly duties. Dharma holds the cosmos together. Krishna teaches us how to be dutiful in challenging times. 2. From Duryodhana, we learned that ' pride comes before the fall .' Duryodhana teaches us how blind swa-dharma (desires for your own Self) can lead you to "Adharma." Duryodhana's greed is wrong, his methods are wrong. He teaches us that blind pride and wrong actions have consequences and one must be careful and thoughtful about their actions and thoughts....

Simple yet beautiful stories leave a long-lasting impression on one’s mind. There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the Winter , the second in the Spring , the third in Summer , and the youngest son in the Fall . When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. 1. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. 2. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. 3. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. 4. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right becaus...

A rare conversation between  Krishna  & Today's  Arjuna . It's one of the best conversations I have come across. 1. Arjuna :- I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic and complex. Krishna :- Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you free. 2. Arjuna :- Why has life become complicated now? Krishna :- Stop analyzing life... It makes it complicated. Just live it. 3.   Arjuna :- Why are we then constantly unhappy? Krishna :- Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy. 4. Arjuna :- Why do good people always suffer? Krishna :- Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience, their life becomes better, not bitter. 5. Arjuna :- You mean to say such experience is useful? Krishna :- Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. It gives the test first and the lessons later. 6. Arjuna :- Because...

Put a frog into a vessel filled with water and start heating the water. As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjusts its body temperature accordingly. The frog keeps adjusting its body temperature with the increasing temperature of the water. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore. At this point, the frog decides to jump out. The frog tries to jump but it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting to the rising water temperature. Very soon the frog dies. What killed the frog? Think about it! I know many of us will say the boiling water. But the truth about what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when to jump out. We all need to adjust to people & situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust & when we need to move on. There are times when we need to face the situation and take appropriate actions. If we allow people to pressurize us physically, emotional...

           Things have some deep significance.         Amazing pictures having a deeper meaning. Each of your choices can reveal a part of your personality. Look at the picture and tell us, which of these four is the most stupid? Guess who? What you have predicted from it? 1? .. Because he knows that 2,3 spoil his life then after he is with them. Or because he is not reacting after knowing all happening with him. But he is matured enough. It is different between stupidity and maturity. |||| An old person who doesn't react is not Stupid! |||| 2? .. He is cutting the branch of which other is getting hurt or because what he is doing, others have to pay for its actions. Or maybe that branch is the week so for saving himself, he wants him to leave. He might be saving himself and it is better to have one instead of none. |||| The person being selfish is not Stupid! |||| 3? .. While everyone is going down, he sta...
