Joke Of The Day: 19 Jan 2008

In a South Indian temple, the deity's idol was customarily brought out of the temple on the back of a donkey in a big procession around the town for people to see. On one such occasion, as the procession moved, the donkey was amazed to find people bowing low before it, performing arathi and offering sweetmeats. It was convinced that it had become a celebrity overnight. It started to swagger and looked contemptuously upon the other animals on the streets. It decided that it no more needs to carry the heavy burden on its back; it shook the idol off its back. You don’t need help to imagine what happened to it after that!

Every moment, be aware that you are an instrument of the Divine. Don’t let your ego get in the way. Surrender your ego and Existence will take care of you!
