1. A Heart Touching Story One evening I was going back from a supermarket. As I have approached my car, I noticed that some person came and stood beside me. He was the one that could be considered as a bum. It seemed that he had no car, no home and no job. I expected that he will ask me for money, but he did not do that, he only said: „Your car is very nice“. After several moments of silence I have replied: „Thanks“, and then the inner voice told me: „Ask him if he needs help“. After a short hesitation I have asked him, if he needs any help. His respond was astonishing, I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him: „Don‘t we all?” It was a true discovery to me. I needed help. Although I had money and a place to sleep, but I recognized that I needed help too. Then I have opened my wallet and gave him enough money to get a meal and some shelter for a day. Suddenly I understood that no matter how much money, achievements, luxury things do we have, we all need help. And on the other hand, no matter how poor you are, how many material problems you have, you still might offer your help to others, you still might be giving. Even it‘s just a nice word, you can give that and it can be priceless to other person. Maybe that man was just a homeless stranger, but to me he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by the Highest Loving Power personally to me, to open my eyes, to show me that there is one thing, among all other values and achievements, which is very important and irreplaceable for each and every person. Actually, it is a true gift and it is called Giving. 2. A Spiritual Story About Prayer Someone asked a wise man Ho: – Is it worth praying? The wise man answered: – Do not ask such questions. You pray, when there is nothing else left. But if you do pray, it should not be when you need something. You should try doing it on your own. And after that it is worth helping God by taking some burden off him. – And what is the best way to pray? What words to use? – The person said. – I think, it is better to pray from the bottom of your heart, it will tell you the words, – Ho answered, – But can I ask you something? The person got surprised but didn’t object. – Why people ask: Is it necessary to pray and how?, but no one asks: About whom?. – Strange, – even more surprised the person said, – it is obvious that about themselves or about their closest people. And you, about whom do you pray? Ho looked at him and said: – Really, it seems strange. Many years ago I knew a monk. He prayed to Almighty about the Almighty, to support him. He did not hide it, but he was considered a madman- even among his fellows. He told me: “Everyone else prays to him about themselves, but who will ask the same about him?” The person was confused. He looked at the wise man not daring to utter anything. – I do not know if that monk is still alive, that is why I use his prayer, – Ho explained. The person didn’t ask anything else. 3. The Story of A Wounded Soul One day an old Soul Wound decided to destroy her host. She came to him in a dream and said: – Look at yourself and around you. How do you live? After all, you have only problems- inside and outside. – So what, – the host answered, – but I have a wonderful woman. I love her and she loves me. – But what can you offer her, except your own problems? She will leave you soon, – The Soul Wound said. – No she won’t! – The man said, – after all, she loves me. – Think about it – is it possible to love you? You are a loser! – The Soul Wound exclaimed. – That is the thing! If I wouldn’t have any problems – inside and outside, I would have some doubts about her being with me. But now I’m sure about her sincerity. – Ok, then think: if she is so wonderful, do you deserve her? Doesn’t she deserve a better life, than with you – mentally wounded loser with lots of problems? After waking up from his own tears, the man called his loved one and told her that he doesn’t deserve her love, and he is leaving her forever. But the pain was so big that he couldn’t survive the brake up. In heaven, an angel met the arriving soul and escorted him straight to the gates of hell. Unhappy and amazed he asked: – How come you have brought me here? After all, I committed the biggest sacrifice for love! The angel turned to him and answered: – The soul wounds serve only to Devil. You will stay with the one that you have listened to.
