Weekly Quote and A Story to Brighten Your Week

Quote (instead one quote ... let me send few quotes related to life this week):
Golden years of life has nothing to do with gold.
Don't count the moments in your life, just think of number of lives you lived in each moment.
There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those.
You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.
The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.
My life is my message - Mahatma Gandhi.


Story:
Dedicate your Life:

During the land donation movement, Vinoba Bhave , who is also known as spiritual successor of Gandhi ji asks a 30 year old enthusiastic Gopal :" Do you take a pledge to dedicate your life for service ? " I do said Gopal without a blink and today at the age of 80, Gopal kaka with just one extra pair of clothes and almost no possessions works for the poorest of poor in rural India.

Knowing the magnitude of work Gopal kaka has accomplished in his lifetime, I once asked him, " Kaka what do you think, how many lives you must have changed ?
He looks at me and with a most beautiful smile, he replies " I am changed".

"Even This Moment Will Change."
"I am not the body. The body is not mine."
"Shivmastu Sarva Jagatah" - May the entire Universe attain Bliss.
