Monday Motivation….. June 20, 2011 (019)
Once upon a time cosmic God had a horse. The horse was very beautiful with abundant good qualities. But it still wanted to be more perfect in every way and to become beauty unparalleled. One day the horse said to the cosmic God, “O Lord, you have given me beauty and I am also so grateful to you for you have given me many good qualities. But I would be extremely, extremely grateful if you could make me more beautiful.”The cosmic God said, “I am more than ready to make you more beautiful. Tell me in what way you want to be changed.”
The horse said, “It seems to me that I am not well proportioned. My neck is too short. If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be infinitely more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much longer and thinner, then I will look infinitely more beautiful in my lower body.” The cosmic God said, “Bless you!” Then immediately He made a camel appear in place of the horse. The horse was so disheartened that it started to cry, “O Lord, I wanted to become more beautiful. In what way is this kind of outer form more beautiful?”
The cosmic God said, “This is exactly what you asked for. You have become a camel.” The horse cried, “Oh no, I do not want to become a camel I wish to remain a horse. As a horse, everybody appreciated my good qualities. Nobody will appreciate me as a camel.”

Moral:
Never try to achieve or receive more than God have given us and is against nature. If we want to lead a desire-life, then at every moment we look for and want more and more. But we no idea what the outcome will be. If we cry for a longer neck and legs, this is what will happen. Each and every individual of God’s creation has its own good qualities. On a flip side, camel is not as beautiful as horse is, but it carries heavy loads and has a tremendous sense of responsibility; widely known as the Ship of the desert and can stay alive for many days without a drop of water.
Have a responsible week ahead!
