THE ECHO OF LIFE

A man and his son were walking in the forest.
Suddenly the boy trips and feeling a sharp pain he screams, “Ahhhh!”

Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, “Ahhhh!”

Filled with curiosity, he screams: “Who are you?”, but the only answer he receives is: “Who are you?”
This makes him angry, so he screams: “You are a coward!”, and the voice answers: “You are a coward!”

He looks at his father, asking, “Dad, what is going on?”

“Son,” the man replies, “Pay attention!”

Then he screams, “I admire you!”
The voice answers: “I admire you!”

The father shouts, “You are wonderful!”, and the voice answers: “You are wonderful!”

Then the father explains, “People call this ‘ECHO’, but truly it is ‘LIFE’!

Life always gives you back what you give out. Life is a mirror of your karma-s (actions).

If you want more love, give more love!

If you want more kindness, give more kindness!

If you want understanding and respect, give understanding and respect!

If you want people to be patient and respectful to you, give patience and respect!

This rule of nature applies to every aspect of our lives.”

Life always gives you back what you give out.

Our life is not a coincidence, but a mirror of our own KARMA-s (actions). All the karma-s that we perform will return to us in the same measure, to the same degree and intensity--whether positive or negative. As we sow, so we reap. The negatives that manifest in our lives today, are the result of the negatives we have sown sometime in the past in our current life, or in some of our past lives. So if we want only positives in our lives in the future, we need to perform only positive karma-s from now onwards. Karma-s don't mean action at the physical level only. It includes the quality of our speech, that of feelings and emotions entertained in the mind and the quality of thoughts predominant in our intellect. 

REMEMBER THE ECHO OF LIFE, IN AND THROUGH EVERY THOUGHT, FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS, SPEECH AND ACTION--EVERY MOMENT.
