Helpness and kindness never wasted


This millennium is the era of Globalisation and all the people of the world will come closer and closer with each other in times to come. This is the era when we should be closer and closer in hearts, seeing others in trouble we should help them helping someone out of trouble is ;a virtue itself, but a kindness is often returned in surprising measure.

Every year I used to visit my village house. Last year as soon as I opened my village home there was a profusion of scented roses. Then we come to our backyard to my surprise in a comparatively neglected corner I saw a red pool of flowers. “ what a marvellous show these male: I exclaimed.” How did these grow here “ my neighbour which accompanied me in my house laughed and says, don’t you remember, you planted them last year when you come to visit your house .
And I did remember that last time I found a packet of little , dried-up seeds, and I pushed them into the earth in my backyard. These red pool of beauty could result from such uncompromising beginnings, and one which we could apply as a rewarding truth through all over lives: sometimes , perhaps unthinkingly, we may sow seed, forget it and later be repaid, thousandfold, some little kindness, helpness an action or word is like a seed planted in some one’s heart and long after you may find that it has flourished and blossomed and been returned to you .
I can quote the example of history, when Rajput king Maharaja Partap was in trouble , his courtier Bhamashah, sacrificed all his wealth in the lap of king Maharaja Partap and the king was able to reorganise his army to fight against his animies. There are so many incidences of this type in our history.
Always Remember
· The child who turned to you for comfort and was not disappointed will not forget when he is an adult.
· The friend you helped through bad time, the boy or girl you fished out of trouble, the colleague who relied on your loyalty and was not failed, none of them will forget.
· It is true the seed you planted happened to fall on stony ground and withered, there will be others which have fallen “ into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some on hundred fold, some sixty fold, some forty fold.”
Once I was in a great trouble, I shall never forget the kindness and help of a friend who sprang to my help during that bad patch. It was a very bad patch indeed, coming on top of a personal sadness, when very aspect seemed gloomy, every road ahead blocked, and I literally did not know which way to turn. Then I thought of this friend. We had not met for some time, she was the person best situated to help me.
Her response to my request to was immediate and warm; with encouragement to give me heart and hope and by taking enormous trouble on my behalf, she hauled me out of the doldrums and set me on my feet again.
Later , when every thing was sunny again, I wrote to tell her grateful I was and to say how wonderfully kind she had been. I was astonished to receive her reply: “ as to who has been kind to whom,” “ I’ll never forget being sheltered me in your home when we most needed somewhere to stay.”
Immediate Help In Trouble
It was true, she had been drag out of house when her husband deceived her by taking ex-party divorce and then stay orders to vacate his house. She was temporarily homeless as her parents were on tour to abroad and she faced with the prospect of piling her family with her children into a caravan. Instead of my small apartment I was thankful to have her family live with me for a while. But that had all taken place fifteen years before I approached her with my request for help, that loan of shelter in my house had long since passed from my memory--- though not from Herr.
Now a days it is heard that no one will come to rescue you in trouble, all are the friends of palmy days. But it not true. It is really an admirable aim to be independent and self -reliant, but we all need help at some time. It is no disgrace in times of real trouble to ask for support, the only grave is kit we allow ourselves to forget or dismiss the kindness.
No one in this world can exist all alone. We all need others help, and there are always some who need our special contribution, our special understanding.
Virtue should be its own regard but the happy truth is that it is so often rewarded a hundredfold. If anyone needs a helping hand then we should give it , bescause in kindness and helpness to others is ever wasted ;and on those rare occasions when it is not rewarded we shall at least have contributed to the world’s pool of good will.
