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!
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.*
