Listen to the sound of silence
~ Inspirational Stories to awaken…
There once was a farmer who
discovered that he had lost his watch in the barn. It was no ordinary watch
because it had sentimental value for him.
After searching high and
low among the hay for a long while; he gave up and enlisted the help of a group
of children playing outside the barn.
He promised them that the
person who found it would be rewarded.
Hearing
this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and around the entire
stack of hay but still could not find the watch. Just when the farmer was about
to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went up to him and asked to be
given another chance. The farmer looked at him and thought, “Why
not? After all, this kid looks sincere enough.”
So the farmer sent the
little boy back in the barn. After a while the little boy came out with the
watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and surprised and so he asked the
boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed.
The boy replied, “I did
nothing but sit on the ground and listen. In the silence, I heard the ticking
of the watch and just looked for it in that direction.”
Moral
: A peaceful mind can think better than a worked up mind. Allow a
few minutes of silence to your mind every day, and see, how sharply it helps
you to set your life the way you expect it to be! ~ The soul always knows what
to do to heal itself.. The challenge is to silence the mind….
