Pay Your Rent

This body is like a house given to us on rent.

The owner of this body is the Almighty God.

HE has provided for us everything & everyone that we may need to lead a happy & contented life.

We can live in this body as long as HE wills.

All this time we need to keep thanking HIM & paying HIM the rent in the form of FAITH, DEVOTION and constant LOVING REMEMBRANCE of HIM.

In case we don’t pay HIM the rent, HE sends down ‘gentle’ reminders first in the form of some problems or difficulties in life.

If we still don’t pay up, then the intensity or the height of the hurdle is raised!

As the default continues, then the trouble becomes severe in the form of physical ailments.

It’s also said that our mistakes & follies in life affects the ‘progeny’…..

He Knows Best

Don’t ask GOD for anything at all.

HE knows best & let him give us what he wants & what he thinks is best for us.

It is said that once Sage Vyasa explained that Draupadi had in a previous lifetime prayed to Lord Shiva to grant her a husband with 5 desired qualities.

.

Lord Shiva, pleased with her devotion, tells her that it is very difficult to get a husband with all 5 qualities that she desired.

.

However she sticks to her ground and asks for the same.

.

Lord Shiva had no other choice but to grant her wish. Hence she gets married in yet another birth to 5 brothers each who represent a given quality !!!

(In the epic Mahabharata, Draupadi, is the daughter of King Drupada, who becomes the wife of the five Pandavas.)
