A Swami was havi ng a conversation with Lord Shiva one day and said.
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 the people were well nourished and plump,
laughing and talking.
The Swami said, 'I don't understand.'
'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. It's estimated 93%
won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the
title '7%'.
I'm in the 7%
Remember that I will always share my spoon with you._,_.___
