A wonderful story on gratitude. Long but worth a read…

“Richard Bryner, was awarded the Tacitus Award for outstanding achievement in Law. At the award ceremony held last night he did not even mention your name in his ‘thank you speech’, as someone who mentored him and set up him as a lawyer in this cutthroat city, how does that feel, this lack of gratitude?” the voice of the Journalist asked Malcolm Meyer.

Malcolm took a deep breath and tried to look for the words but they failed him. Years of court battles had taught him that when in doubt say nothing. “I am sorry, I am in a meeting but I would be happy to talk to you after office hours,” Malcolm obfuscated. The Journalist promised to call back and hung off.

Malcolm could feel a huge weight on his chest, like someone was feeling physically pressing on it. He was hurt. Very hurt.

Richard was a paralegal in his firm all those years ago. Malcolm had seen a bright mind and sincerity in the boy. He asked Richard to stop working and start studying for the bar. In that one year that Richard did not work Malcolm paid for everything, from his rent to his food. Malcolm was right; Richard passed the bar with flying colors and turned out to be a bright lawyer.

Malcolm was one of the biggest lawyers in the city and any ambitious lawyer would have killed to be his assistant but Malcolm did not give that spot to anyone. In his heart and mind he always saw Richard as his assistant and in the years to come he saw Richard’s name on the letterhead with his name. Meyer and Bruner, that was his dream.

It was Richard’s birthday and Malcolm took him out for a drink. Over their second Bourbon Malcolm offered Richard to be his partner, to have his name with his on the law firm. Richard did not look happy, instead he asked for a day to think about it. Malcolm found that odd, he thought Richard would jump at it, anyone would have but Malcolm decided to think little of it. Richard had the right to choose.

The next day Richard told Malcolm that he wanted to start a firm of his own. ‘I work best alone, that is something I have realized,” Richard confessed. Malcolm felt a stab in his heart but also knew that every man had a right to make his destiny.

He blessed Richard on his new venture and even offered to help. Malcolm parted with a few high value clients so that Richard could have a good start on his firm. “Well begun is half done boy!” Malcolm said with a pat on Richard’s back. Richard had readily accepted the clients.

As the years went by Malcolm saw Richard do really well for himself but he also saw that the phone calls from Richard became less. The Christmas wishes and Thanksgiving phone calls ceased as well. And then the award function where Malcolm learned in the cruelest fashion that Richard had not even a thank you for him.

Malcolm found it difficult to sit in his office chamber; his hurt was turning into a rage. He had to teach Richard a lesson; he had to make sure that Richard knew that even dogs had gratitude. He had to put Richard in his place and Malcolm was still the cat in the game of rats. It was time to take a rat apart.

Malcolm walked out if his office and on to the park that spread adjacent to his office building. The day was grey; a crisp breeze blew in from the North. Malcolm sat himself down on the park bench. This was his strategy place. He had sat there on many occasions making strategies to tear the opposition apart and all those strategies had worked.

How does one destroy another lawyer thought Malcolm? He had to start by making him look ungrateful, which was not tough because Richard was ungrateful. He would speak to that Journalist in the evening and give an interview that would make Richard look mean and selfish. Next, he had to destroy his reputation as a lawyer. He knew that all lawyers played around with the law to get their way in court but most of them crossed the line between legal and illegal and Malcolm would have to catch him crossing the line.

Slowly a plan to destroy Richard began to take shape in Malcolm’s mind. This was going to be fun; it would help heal the wounds that Richard had given him over the years. He wondered who coined the term “ungrateful dog” when it was humans who were ungrateful.

He felt better about everything and decided to spend some more time sitting on the bench feeling the breeze and the scant sun.

In front of him he saw a toddler playing with his Father. The toddler walked a bit and then fell, his Father gave him a hand; the toddler stood up, walked a bit and then fell again. It was a very moving game to watch. The Father and Son both seemed to enjoy it. Malcolm had no clue why the tears began to flow from his eyes; he had no clue why the tears turned into a sobbing. The Father and Son stopped playing the game and looked at him.

Malcolm closed his eyes to understand what the tears were telling him. Gratitude was not a right, you could not demand gratitude, you either got it or you did not, it was not up to you but up to the person who you think you had helped. The Father could not demand gratitude from the toddler for teaching him how to walk. The need for gratitude could not be a cage where you could trap someone. Gratitude had to be the need of the other’s soul. Feeling gratitude meant that you had to realize that others aided your journey and to realize that you had to first understand that you are not the be all and end all of everything. Richard would get there one day, if he did at all. It had to be Richard’s journey, not his. His journey was to pick up another Richard working as a paralegal somewhere.

Malcolm opened his eyes and smiled. The sun peeped from behind a cloud and bathed Malcolm in its golden hue. He walked up to the Father and thanked him, the Father of course had no idea for what he was being thanked.

He took his cellphone out from his pocket and wrote a message to Richard, “Congratulations on your award, may you soar higher and attain new heights, love Malcolm”.

एक बेटा अपने वृद्ध पिता को रात्रि भोज के लिए एक अच्छे रेस्टॉरेंट
में लेकर गया।
खाने के दौरान वृद्ध पिता ने कई बार भोजन अपने कपड़ों पर गिराया।
रेस्टॉरेंट में बैठे दुसरे खाना खा रहे लोग वृद्ध को घृणा
की नजरों से देख रहे थे लेकिन वृद्ध का बेटा शांत था।
खाने के बाद बिना किसी शर्म के बेटा, वृद्ध को वॉश रूम
ले गया। उसके कपड़े साफ़ किये, उसका चेहरा साफ़ किया, उसके
बालों में कंघी की,चश्मा पहनाया और फिर
बाहर लाया।
सभी लोग खामोशी से उन्हें ही
देख रहे थे।बेटे ने बिल पे किया और वृद्ध के साथ
बाहर जाने लगा।
तभी डिनर कर रहे एक अन्य वृद्ध ने बेटे को आवाज
दी और उससे पूछा " क्या तुम्हे नहीं
लगता कि यहाँ
अपने पीछे तुम कुछ छोड़ कर जा रहे हो ?? "
बेटे ने जवाब दिया" नहीं सर, मैं कुछ भी
छोड़ कर
नहीं जा रहा। "
वृद्ध ने कहा " बेटे, तुम यहाँ
छोड़ कर जा रहे हो,
प्रत्येक पुत्र के लिए एक शिक्षा (सबक) और प्रत्येक पिता के
लिए उम्मीद (आशा)। "
दोस्तो आमतौर पर हम लोग अपने बुजुर्ग माता पिता को अपने साथ
बाहर ले जाना पसँद नही करते
और कहते है क्या करोगो आप से चला तो जाता
नही ठीक से खाया भी
नही जाता आपतो घर पर ही रहो
वही अच्छा होगा.
क्या आप भूल गये जब आप छोटे थे और आप के माता पिता आप
को अपनी गोद मे उठा कर ले जाया
करते थे,
आप जब ठीक से खा नही
पाते थे तो माँ आपको अपने हाथ से खाना खिलाती
थी और खाना गिर जाने पर डाँट नही प्यार
जताती थी
फिर वही माँ बाप बुढापे मे बोझ क्यो लगने लगते है???
माँ बाप भगवान का रूप होते है उनकी सेवा
कीजिये और प्यार दीजिये…
क्योकि एक दिन आप भी बुढे होगे फिर अपने बच्चो से
सेवा की उम्मीद मत करना.

हरिवंशराय बच्चन ने अपनी कविताओ में कुछ बहुत ही सुंदर लाइनें लिखी हैं.

हारना तब आवश्यक हो जाता है
जब लड़ाई “अपनों” से हो !
और जीतना तब आवश्यक हो जाता है
जब लड़ाई "अपने आप " से हो ! !
मंजिले मिले , ये तो मुकद्दर की बात है
हम कोशिश ही न करे ये तो गलत बात है
किसी ने बर्फ से पूछा कि,
आप इतने ठंडे क्यूं हो ?
बर्फ ने बडा अच्छा जवाब दिया
" मेरा अतीत भी पानी;
मेरा भविष्य भी पानी…"
फिर गरमी किस बात पे रखूं ।

Vibrations

Your thoughts don’t exist in isolation, they affect the world.

Every thought creates vibrations.
Vibrations ripple out into the universe.

Send your thoughts and vibrations to:
a crisis somewhere in the world;
someone you know who’s in difficulty, experiencing illness or pain.

To be egoless is to learn from people.

Each and every person I come into contact with has something to teach me. When I work with ego, I become deprived of this learning. I am not able to see the positive in people. Nor do I have the humility to understand that there is a lot to learn and improve. Being egoless helps me continuously learn and progress. Today I will learn something from someone really close to me. I will take one point that I feel that I should imbibe from this person. I will consciously work on imbibing this point into my life.

Message for the day

To see good is the easy way to become good.

Checking: In all the people that you are coming into contact with check to what extent you are able to see the good in them. Also check if you are able to see good in the situations too.

Practice: Each day tell yourself that you are only going to see the good in people and situations, because the more you see good, you can become good too. Even when you find yourself seeing negativity, remind yourself of this thought and change your way of thinking.
