THE ANT AND ITS INTERESTING LIFE INTRIGUES!!!!


One Sunday morning, a Wealthy man sat in his balcony enjoying sunshine and his coffee when a little 🐜ant caught his eye which was going from one side to the other side of the balcony carrying a big leaf several
times more than its size. The man watched it for more
than an hour. He saw that the ant faced many impediments during its journey, paused, took a diversion and then continued towards destination.

At one point the tiny creature came across a crack in the floor. It paused for a little while, analyzed and then
laid the huge leaf over the crack, walked over the leaf,
picked the leaf on the other side then continued its
journey.

The man was captivated by the cleverness of the ant, one of GOD'S tiniest creatures. The incident left the man in awe and forced him to contemplate over the miracle of Creation. It showed the Greatness of the Creator. In front of his eyes there was this tiny creature of GOD ALMIGHTY, lacking in size yet
equipped with a brain to Analyze, Contemplate, Reason, Explore, Discover and Overcome.

Along with all these capabilities, the man also noticed that this tiny creature shared some human being shortcomings.

The man saw about an hour later the creature had reached its destination – a tiny hole in the floor which was entrance to its underground dwelling. And it was at this point that the 🐜ant’s shortcoming that it shared with the man was revealed. How could the ant carry it into the tiny hole the large leaf that it had managed to carefully bring to the destination? It simply couldn’t!

So the tiny 🐜creature, after all the painstaking and hard work and exercising great skills, overcoming all the difficulties along the way, just left behind the large leaf and went home empty-handed.
The 🐜ant had not thought about the end before it began its challenging journey and in the end the large leaf was nothing more than a burden to it.
The creature had no option, but to leave it behind to reach
its destination. The man learned a Great Lesson that day.

Isn’t that the Truth about our Lives?
We worry about our family,
We worry about our job,
We worry about how to earn more money,
We worry about where we should live – 5 bedroom or 6
bedroom house,
What kind of vehicle to buy – a Mercedes or Honda or BMW or a Porsche,
What kind of dresses to wear,
All sorts of things, only to abandon all these things when we reach our destination – The GRAVE.

We don’t realize in our life’s journey that these are just
burdens that we are carrying with utmost care and fear of losing them, only to find that at the end they are useless and we can’t take them with us.
Good Morning!
