6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat is the meaning of ‘Ahimsa Paramo Dharma’?
An old story with the highest ideal of Hinduism is presented.
A sage, seated beside the Ganges, notices a scorpion that has fallen into the water. He reaches down and rescues it, only to be stung. Some time later he looks down and sees the scorpion thrashing about in the water again. Once more he reaches down to rescue it, and once more he is stung. A bystander, observing all this, exclaims, “Holy one, why do you keep doing that? Don’t you see that the wretched creature will only sting you in return?” “Of course,” the sage replied. “It is the dharma of a scorpion to sting. But it is the dharma of a human being to save.”
Compare this with ‘one can kill a cow if it tries to kill you’.

26 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow is honesty of a person living in a country related to his Religion and spiriyuality?
(from a recent ditbit received by email)
A Worldwide survey was conducted by the company ‘Non existent & no Limited’. The only question asked was:
'Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?'
The survey was a huge failure because,
In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant,
In India they didn't know what 'honest' meant,
In Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant,
In China they didn't know what 'opinion' meant,
In the Middle East they didn't know what 'solution' meant,
In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant,
And in the USA they didn't know what 'the rest of the world' meant!
16 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat is the moral of this story?
A theist and an atheist are friends. They respect each other and are not teasing each other on other’s belief. One day they went on a walk and there was a small temple on a country side. Theist went inside the temple and the atheist was standing outside the temple.
Limping out of the temple, the theist came out after had a small cut from a piece of glass inside the temple. Small amount of blood came out. In the meantime the atheist got a fifty rupee note on the wayside.
The atheist made a comment that by not going to worship he was awarded. He added that by going to worship the theist got the cut in one of his legs.
The theist gave the explanation in a different way. He said that he was destined for a major accident that time and since he was inside the temple he got a minor incident only. He added that the atheist friend could have got a fortune then and due to not worshiping God he got only a small token amount.
Both are right in their belief and returned with out any further argument because they respect each other.
