The following is an important reminder to us sons and daughters how many challenges our parents encountered bringing us up. Let today be a time for deep forgiveness, gratitude and love.

Peace,

CROW

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his
45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their
window.





The father asked his son, " What is this ? "




The son replied , " It is a crow ".





After a few minutes , the father asked his son the 2nd time ," What is this ? "




The son said , " Father, I have just now told you , It's a crow ".


After a little while , the old father again asked his son the 3rd time
,   " What is this ? "




At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the son's tone
when he said to his father with a rebuff. " It's a crow , a crow ".





A little after , the father again asked his son the 4th time , " What
is this ? "




This time the son shouted at his father , " Why do you keep asking me
the same question again and again , although I have told you so many
times " IT IS A CROW ".. Are you not able to understand this ? "





A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old
tattered diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On
opening a page , he asked his son to read that page. When the son read
it , the following words were written in the diary :-





" Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when
a crow was sitting on the window.




My son asked me 23 times what it was , and I replied to him all 23
times that it was a crow.




I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again
and again for 23 times.





I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child ".




While the little child asked him 23 times " What is this ? ", the
father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23
times and when today the father asked his son the same question just 4
times , the son felt irritated and annoyed.







So....




If your parents attain old age , do not repulse them or look at them
as a burden , but speak to them a gracious word , be cool , obedient ,
humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. From today
say this aloud, " I want to see my parents happy forever. They have
cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always
showered their selfless love on me. They crossed all mountains and
valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make a person presentable
in the society today ".

When you reach for the thought that feels better, the Universe is now
responding differently to you because of that effort. And so, the things
that follow you get better and better, too. So it gets easier to reach for
the thought that feels better, because you are on ever-increasing,
improving platforms that feel better.
