Whom to blame for your bad luck??

It is common to hear people saying, "it all happens because of bad luck!" or "why i am so unlucky?" or "why GOD is doing all this to me!". Have you ever thought about that "who or what makes your luck good or bad" or "who decides your destiny". The answer is very simple. It's you or your deeds which decides your luck that it is going to be good or bad. I can tell you one real story in this context. I forgot the real names of the persons in the story. So, let's take their names as Ram & Sham.

A long time ago, in a village there lived two friends Ram & Sham. Ram was very kind & loyal person & used to help others in need & he was poor & living a tough life. On the other side, sham was very cunning & selfish & he was rich & living life with ease. Once Sham found a vessel of gold coins in the forest. When Ram came to know this, he got upset. He started thinking that why it is so because he was very good person & living a tough life & Sham was a bad guy but he was living a very good life. He was passing through the forest at that time & he was so upset & roaming in his thoughts that he could not see a pit in his way & fell down in the pit & got some serious injuries & due to that, he laid down on the bed for two months. This incident frustrated him further. He was totally restless. One day he came to know that a saint had visited their village. So, he decided to meet him. When he met with the saint & told him the whole story. The saint observed him closely & moved through his previous lives(reborn theory) & Sham's previous lives. After that he smiled & said,"According to Sham's previous lives, he should have been the king of this place but his present life's deeds changed his luck & his reward reduced to a vessel of gold coins. & you, according to your previous lives, you should have been executed by now but your present life's deeds saved you from the capital punishment & reduced your punishment to some injuries only." Saint's words satisfied him & gave peace to his mind.

This concludes that "It's only & only you which makes your luck good or bad". So, Be good & do good. Because whatever you do, you will be paid for that. & don't blame anybody for your bad luck.

GOD Does Exist.............................

The university professor challenged his students with this question:

"Did God create everything that exists? "

A student bravely replied "Yes, he did!"

"God created everything?" the professor asked.

"Yes sir," the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil."

The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?"

"Of course," replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, "Professor , does cold exist?"

The professor replied "Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"

The students snickered at the young man's question.

The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body, or matter, have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (- 460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat.

The student continued. "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does."

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light, we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor. "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course , as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

The young man's name --- Albert Einstein.
