Satsang Thought for the day

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said,
"Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like. "The Lord led
the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy
man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the
middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and
made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table
were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished.
They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to
their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and
take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms,
they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man
shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
The Lord said, "You have seen Hell." They went to the next room and
opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was
the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy
man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same
long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and
plump, laughing and talking.
The holy man said,"I don't understand."
It is simple" said the Lord, "it requires but one skill. You see, they have
learned to feed each other. While the greedy think only of themselves.
The greedy are always left unsatisfied with no matter how much they
have achieved in life. When we are kind and compassionate towards
others who are unable to help themselves and offer a helping hand,
God chooses to show his grace and shower his kindness on us.
