Lord Shiva’s beautiful description of Hell & Heaven ( really nice
‘Lord, I would like to know what
Heaven and Hell are like.
Lord Shiva led the Swami to two
doors.
He opened one of the doors and the Swami 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 Swami’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 Swami shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
Lord Shiva 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
‘It is simple,’ said Lord Shiva.
‘It requires but one skill. You see
they have learned to feed each
other, while the greedy think only
of themselves.’
When Lord Shiva created the world,
He was thinking of you.
Remember that I will always share my spoon with! you.
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!
