Heaven & Hell
A Swami was having a conversation with GOD one day and said.
'GOD, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.
GOD led the Swami to two doors.
He opened one of the doors and the Swami looked in.. In the middle of the room
was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew,
which smelled delicious and
made the Swami's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and
sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long
handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach
into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.
But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons
back into their mouths.
The Swami shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
GOD said, 'You have seen Hell.
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the
first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which
made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same
long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing
and talking. The Swami said, 'I don't understand.'
'It is simple,' said GOD.
'It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while
the greedy think only of themselves.'
Remember that I will always share my spoon with you !
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
