Remembering the 'Spirit' in Spirituality
You will find a lot of spiritual knowledge on these
pages but always keep in mind that nothing is more important than kindness,
compassion, caring and Unselfish Love!
The Way of Love
Here's a nice story about learning to give to others first
and thus to live by the Golden Rule of Unselfish Love:
There was a man who died and was being taken to heaven by angels. But first,
they wanted to show him hell.
The angels then took him to a place where there was a great bowl, so great that
it was as big as a lake. The bowl was filled with a nutritious stew. All the way
around the sides of this bowl were people. Emaciated, starving, miserable
people. These people had spoons to eat the stew with, that were long enough to
reach it from the shore.
The trouble was, while they could scoop up the stew into the spoon, they could
not get it into their mouths because the spoons were so long the stew would fall
off before they could get it to their mouths. So here were all these pathetic
people, suffering and moaning in agony, constantly trying to eat the food that
was abundantly in front of them - all in vain. Next, the angels took the man to
heaven. To his surprise, he saw the same scene! There it was, a giant lake-like
bowl of the same stew, surrounded by people with 12 foot long spoons. Yet
something was different here - all these people were smiling, happy, and healthy
looking!
"Why? What is the difference here that these people are happy and well fed?",
the man said to the angels.
They replied, "Have you not eyes to see?". The man looked more carefully, and
observed that one person would scoop up the stew, and bring it to the mouth of
another. Then someone else would scoop up stew and feed it to the other.
The angels smiled and said, "Here the people feed each other. Here are the
people that learned the way of Love."
