Monday Motivation….. November 05, 2018 (404)
Once upon a time, Lord Indra (GOD of Rain as per HINDU MYTHOLOGY) got upset with Farmers, he announced there would be No rain for 12 years & you won’t be able to produce crops.
Farmers begged for clemency from Lord Indra, who then said, Rain would be possible only if Lord Shiva (Principal Deity as per HINDU MYTHOLOGY) plays his Damru (Small two headed drum set), but he secretly requested Lord Shiva not to agree to these Farmers. When Farmers reached Lord Shiva he repeated the same thing that he will play Damru after 12 years.
Disappointed Farmers decided to wait until 12 years but one Farmer regularly was digging treating & putting manure in the soil & sowing the seeds even with no crop emerging…
Other Farmers were making fun of that Farmer. After 3 years, all Farmers asked that Farmer why are you wasting your time n energy when you know that rains would not come before 12 years.
He replied ” I know that crop won’t come out but I’m doing it as a matter of “practice”. After 12 years I will forget the process of growing crops n working in the field so I must keep it doing so that I’m fit to produce the crop, the moment there is rain after 12 years.
Hearing his argument Goddess Parvati praised his version before Lord Shiva & said You may also lose the practice of playing the Damru after 12 years.
The innocent Lord Shiva in his anxiety just tried to play the Damru, if he could and hearing the sound of Damru immediately …there was rain and the farmer who was regularly working in the field got his crop…as it emerged immediately. Others were disappointed.

Moral:
It is the practice, which keeps on making us perfect. The game is won during the practice, NOT during the performance. We become even diseased or old just because we don’t practice on our body or mind. Practice is the essence of quality survival.
May this Diwali (Festival of Lights celebrated all over the GLOBE on Nov 07, 2018 this year) light up new fantasies, new expects, undiscovered avenues, distinct perspectives, everything bright & beautiful and fulfil your future days with pleasant surprises and minutes!
Have a great week ahead..!
