Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs… who arranged a running
competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.
A big crowed had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the
contestants….
The race began…
Honestly; No one in crowed really believed that the tiny frogs would reach
the top of the tower.
You heard statements such as:
“Oh, WAY too difficult!!”
“They will NEVER make it to the top.”
“Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!”
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one….
Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher…
The crowed continued to yell, “It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!”
More tiny frogs got tired and give up…
But ONE continued higher and higher and higher…
This one wouldn’t give up! At the end everyone else had give up climbing
the tower.
Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who
reached the top! THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know
how this one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed
and reach the goal?
It turned out….
That the winner was DEAF!!!!
The wisdom of this story is:
Never listen to other people’s tendencies to be negative or
pessimistic…because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away
from you— the ones you have in your heart!
Always think of the power words have. Because everything you hear and read
will affect your actions!
Therefore: ALWAYS be…. POSITIVE!
And above all: Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your
dreams!
Always think: God and I can do this!

Every True Worker has to know this truth, as only ‘deaf to condemns’, & ‘strong intention to serve’, will only enable one to reach the height of guru sannidhi.
