You ARE the cook!

Jigish bhia, myself and two other teachers (Subodh and Ujjal) are on a Government project for training farmers in Chhattisgarh!
Jigish bhai shared one nice story in this Teachers Refresher Meet in Banglore Ashram.
Two very close friends Tingu-Mingu use to eat lunch together at their workplace. While Mingu started eating Tinge joined his hand together and started praying loud “Oh God please bless me with something other than Poha today in my Lunch”. Finishing his prayers, with all hopes and expectations he open lunchbox and painfully complained “Oh no Poha again!”

Next day also same episode got repeated, Tingu prays and opens his Tiffin and eats Poha with all complains in mind. This continued for days.

Finally Mingu breaks his silent and ask Tingu “Why don’t you ask your mother to cook something else for you”. “I don’t live with my mother” replies Tingu. Mingu again asserted “Than ask your wife to cook something other than Poha”. “I’m not married” Tingu swiftly replied. Mingu queries “Than who cooks for you?”
I cook for myself!” replied Tingu.

Crux of the story is that whatever we complain or don’t want to have in menu of our life is actually been cooked by us only! Manifestation of our mind only, so what to grumble about?
Not even feel guilty, just know this get going in life, and know that you have to change it because you the COOK.

Love, Anurag
