Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.
Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting you to put God as our business partner at the end. I was too busy getting mad at the man in the story who kept the 100%.
Great story plot, btw. You certainly zeroed in on the man's ingratitude effectively. I guess, we all experience a bit of that ingratitude at one time or another in our lives. A big Ooops!
Ma does not often give orders, and probably only to those who by intuition, discrimination and experience have established in themselves implicit faith in Her in Her unfailing wisdom. But when She does command, obedience without asking for reasons is the only way. Together with the task She sets, Ma transmits the power to carry it out. But often it is not easy to do so. It is a common experience that to obey Ma’s orders quickens intelligence and develops initiative. It requires great vigilance and concentration in fact it is as if ingeniously calculated to draw out to the utmost one’s capacity, courage, forbearance and power of endurance, as well as to bring to the surface one’s weaknesses and shortcomings, so that they may be eradicated.
