A gentleman shared a story from his village. There was an old lady. She was illiterate and simple. She did not do any worship etc. She did her small rituals every day but always said, God is there with her always. She was very loving and kind to everyone. When she used to make food, she always used to smile. Whenever someone was sick, they used to go to her and eat at her place. Miraculously, the person recovered very fast. If asked, what was the secret, she smiled and said, I do not know anything. I just know, make it with love and give it with love. And yes, she was always happy. She never shouted at anyone. She always helped where ever she could.
When he shared this, it reminded me of an old story. In a village, everyone was very happy and healthy. Everyone wanted to know the secret. So one gentleman decided to do the research. He asked the couple who was running the flour mill. The couple said that, when we are churning the grains, we keep praying, that everyone is happy and healthy. And the same intention goes into the food. This was the secret that had been running in the family.
Sometimes, we do not have to do anything else to improve things around us. We just have to make ourselves better. We need to be compassionate, we need to be kind and loving and follow truth. The world will start healing.
