Feast

courtesy: Sri.PK.Ramakrishnan

=======================

A student received an invitation for a feast from a friend. But he was not in
good health. He did not know
whether to accept the invitation or reject it. He approached his Guru and told
him thus -

uurdhvam gacchanti hiccaaraah
adho gacchanti vaayavah /
nimantrane samaayaate
kim karishyaami vai guro //

(Gas going up - as hiccup
gas is going down /
When I get an invitation for a feast,
what shall I do?)

The Guru replied -

nimantrane samaayaate
maa sariire dayaam kuru /
aamantram durlabham loke
sariiram janmajanmani //

(When you get an invitation for feast,
do not take pity on your body.
In this world invitation is very rare.
But in every birth you get a new body.)

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.

  Every moment, thank God
