Be Thankful

 

"Recently, Baba said, "When you are bitten by a scorpion, do not cry but be thankful that you are not bitten by a snake.  Don't feel bad you are bitten by a snake, but be happy you didn't die.  Don't feel sad you have no car in which to travel, but be happy you have legs to walk.  Don't feel bad at the thorn prick, but be happy that it did not go into your eye, making you blind.  Don't be unhappy that you do not have a lot of money.  Be happy that you have enough to eat."

(From the book "Divine Directions" by Prof. K. Anil Kumar)
