The Perfection of Imperfect

-

  

The world in which we live is a creation of God and so nothing out here can ever be imperfect. God our heavenly father has created the world and takes full care to protect, love and guide us. Everything is unique and holds a special value in its place.



Let me tell you a story about the perfection in imperfect----


Once a water bearer had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a rod that he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. 


   

At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the crack arrived only half full. This continued for two years daily, and the bearer could deliver only one and a half pots full of water to his house.

At this, the perfect pot became proud of its accomplishments. And the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its imperfection. It was miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of its duties.


One day as the water bearer took both the pots to the stream, the imperfect pot sadly spoke, "I am ashamed of myself and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all the work and you don't get full value from your efforts".


At this the bearer gave an amazing reply, "Did you notice that there were flowers on your side of the path but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. Every day while I walk back, you have watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house!"

An intelligent person, always allocates a huge possibility in what the world calls 'imperfect' and such a person shifts imperfection to a perfect side just like the water bearer who had planted flower seeds on the side of that imperfect pot. 


Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.


This story is concrete proof of the fact that imperfection is something that waters the seed of perfection from where bloom the flowers of success in the flow of time. We should therefore carefully watch our flaws, instead of blaming them endlessly, for it is from that a beautiful tomorrow rises.

One can change one's curse into a blessing by not losing courage and hope but by trying to overcome the shortcomings.

We should treat everything with full respect because at times what according to us is imperfect turns out to be far better than the perfect.


Best Wishes,

Mohini Gulati😊

True Sayings of Krishna

Arjuna asked Krishna, 'Why Karna has a better liberality mindset than me?' Krishna showed a mountain of gold and asked Arjuna to give it to people in a single day. Arjuna went to the mountain and broke the mountain rock by rock to give to the people. It took him several days to complete it. Now, the same task was allocated to Karna. He gave all the people the required tools to break the mountain. He asked people to break the mountain and take whatever they wished. Everyone gathered and hit the mountain. They took away what they wanted and in a few hours, the entire mountain had vanished. Krishna told Arjuna, 'You want everything to be done by you. That is why it took you several days. You determined how much to be given. You didn't use teamwork and the required tools to break the mountain. Wanted credit for what you are doing. But Karna's aim was only to break the mountain in a day and distribute it to the people. He used teamwork and required tools and never claime

You Are Unique!

Think what a remarkable, miraculous thing it is to be you! Of all the people who have come and gone on the earth, since the beginning of time, not ONE of them is like YOU! No one who has ever lived or is to come has had your combination of abilities, talents, appearance, friends, acquaintances, burdens, sorrows, and opportunities. No, one's hair grows exactly the way yours does. No one's fingerprints are like yours. No one has the same combination of secret inside jokes and family expressions that you know. The few people who laugh at all the same things you do, don't sneeze the way you do. No one prays about the same concerns as you do. No one is loved by the same combination of people that love you - NO ONE! No one before, no one to come. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE! Enjoy this uniqueness. You do not have to pretend to seem more like someone else. You weren't meant to be like someone else. You do not have to lie to conceal the parts of you that are not like what you se
