Time And Love
Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love.
One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
All the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed.
She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave.
She began looking for someone to ask for help.
Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat.
Love asked Richness, "Can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered, "I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Love then decided to ask Vanity, who was passing in a beautiful vessel, for help.
Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please." "I can't help you,"
Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next Love saw Sadness passing by.
Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you."
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but I just need to be alone now."
Then Love saw Happiness.
Love cried out, "Happiness, please take me with you."
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him.
Love began to cry.
Then she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me."
It was an elder.
Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name.
When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.
Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else would?" Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Good Evening Dr,
Yes, you are right. Unknowingly Love has come as a female character in the whole story. May be because LOVE gets associated with female gender subconsciously for a male????
I sincerely do not know

Niveditaji, If I am not wrong Balaji is preparing for Vanaprastha where only wisdom is the best friend if not otherwise. Balaji will confirm or deny. regards

Namaskar Balaji,
Thank you for confirming what I had said about you. I had in mind that more will follow Balaji and Ashrama dharma of India will revive.
Your reply to Nivedita is also very much right. One day when I appeared before a panwala with a fatty book he lamented-This is a book in English. I can not read. So I replied- The author in this book has written what he saw in the world. For you the world is still a virgin book.

So Ashrama dharma revives. Let us say three cheers for Ashrama dharma. Every one will have to take his/her conscious decision. It is not that easy to cut off moha Balaji. However, they may not join Balaji but they can join Vanaprastha Ashrama in their own interest. Let us see who are coming forward.

Dr,
Kodi (crore) Namaskar to Ashrama Dharma.
One request to you Dr. Please do not address me as "Balaji", please address as "Bala" or (if you still want to add ji to it let it be) "Bala ji".
Thanks in advance

Thank you for correction Bala ji. Now may I request you to post an article on Vanaprastha ashrama as you view it. It is because many do not know what it is. regards

Dear Vishal,
I do not think that all olds are abandonables. Vanaprastha Ashrama is a very very old concept but it is the need of the day. Do you agree?

Dr,
A message for all
Do not be attached to comforts and luxuries.
They will only disorient you away from Me.
Be simplistic in your way of living.
You come empty handed,
And take nothing back with you.
Lesser the attachments, lesser are your worries.
You mind is at peace.
Your desires are under control.
You have less feeling of envy of others.
You have less chances to hate.
There is no reason for anger,
And less motivation to worship money.
Most of all, there will be a feeling of contentment.
When you are content,
You automatically make contact with Me.
We spend more time together,
You come closer and closer to Me,
And your life ends with more meaning.
Thanks
