In a small town, a person decided to open up his Bar business, whichwas right opposite to the Temple. The Temple & its congregationstarted a campaign to block the Bar from opening with petitions andprayed daily against his business.
Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the Bar and itwas burnt to the ground.
The temple folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, tillthe Bar owner sued the Temple authorities on the grounds that the Temple through its congregation & prayers was ultimately responsiblefor the demise of his bar shop, either through direct or indirectactions or means.
In its reply to the court, the temple vehemently denied allresponsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons to the bar shop's demise. As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork at the hearing and commented:
"I don't know how I'm going to decide this case, but it appears fromthe paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire temple and its devotees that doesn't!!".........
So true!! dis one's especially for that class of people who go to any notorious extent in the name of dharma, a common sight around us nowadaz, from Kashmir to US!! the excerpt above sounds funny but doesnt it also stops us for a while to think where are we actually heading to in the name of old and outdated traditions (especially the ones that leave no stone unturned to brutalize the identity of the females) and dharma?? Cant we just help ourselves grow in a much more cleaner and fresh environment, that gives us clean air for our body, soul and mind, so that tomorrow we have sumthing worthwhile left to give to our next generation?? Quite a thought isnt it???
