Guidance

Once there was a farmer.  He had a beautiful watch which was a gift of love from his Dad. The farmer used to value this watch greatly.  One day, he was busy stacking hay and he got tired at the end of the day.  His watch had fallen among the hay and he did not notice it.  Later in the evening, he realized about this and started searching frantically for the watch amidst the hay.  After hours of searching the bale of hay, he finally gave up his search.  At that time, his neighbor happened to pass him by and he came to know about the lost watch of the farmer.  The neighbor closed his eyes and started to listen attentively and he could hear the ticking of the watch and was able to easily  retrieve the watch from the hay.

Beloveds, the watch that we all have lost is nothing but our soul. We are searching for our souls frantically in the outside world and no amount of search is giving us any clue of where we have lost it.  Let us close our eyes and try to listen to our soul's ticking.  We will be guided.  Only closing our eyes to the outside world will enable us to listen to this ticking... Let us listen.........
