What is the moral of the story??

The Boy Who Wanted To Meet God...

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a

long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies

and a six-pack of root beer, and he started his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was

sitting in the park, staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next

to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his

root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he

offered her a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.

Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he

offered her a root beer. Once again, she smiled at him. The boy was

delighted. They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, yet they

never said a word.

As it grew dark, the boy got up to leave. Before he had gone more

than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and

gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door to his own home a short time later, his

mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.

She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy? He

replied, "I had lunch with God.” But before his mother could respond,

he added,” You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever

seen!"

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her

home. Her neighbor was stunned by the look of peace on her face, and

she asked,” What did you do today that made you so happy?" She

replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." But before her

neighbor responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I

expected."

    The moral of the story is that, as Christ said, "Whatsoever you do for the least of these my brethren, you do unto me."

    Foolish people seek to find God "out there somewhere." But in fact, the spirit of God is the animating force of goodness and caring that we bestow on each other. If God is Love, then when we show that Love to our fellow human beings, we are of that same spirit. This is the moral of the story.

  • The sense of getting satisfaction, happiness and peace of mind from each other, made both of them believe that they have found thier ultimate goal.

    The moral of the story therefore is TO GIVE HAPPINESS TO OTHERS BY SERVING HUMENITY..

    The story also gives an impression that God is reachable to those who do such things for the happiness of others while people try to find Him in Churches, temples , mosques etc..for whole of thier lives.

    But my question to you is that how a person who doesnt believe in God, will be able to get such happiness, satisfaction and peace of mind ?

    To me the message is clear, rather than the moral!

    I donot have to go a thousand miles to a temple,to read a thousand sciptures , to pray a thousand times a month, seeking God. In any case I cannot recognise him by his figure even if I meet. I can feel him next to me whenever I choose to, by simple acts human kindness and Love

    Great story !!

    Moral : God is within us as the core of our being..

    only we have to discover it

    ====================

    According to advice of parapsychologist Israel Levinshtein, I began to study religious practice-meditation. And once, involuntary, I felt that vibration wave came on my brain. This wave caused vibration of all neutrons of my brain. They started vibrating in the same phase, with the same frequency that the last wave. All the neutrons came to homogeneous "vacuum" state. And then I saw "myself", my spiritual essence. i gazed and saw clean silver circle. And I initially understood that this circle was my true "I". And this true "I" is eternal, unwounded, passionless, spiritual, conscious, evolutionary. It was so exactly, so clear, so real that then, recollecting and telling someone about it, I told him that it was "more real than I was talking to you".

    Most of all amazed me that my true "I" is passionless. Because I am an emotional person. How is that that I am passionless? And I somehow mentally asked: And what about love?" and mentally received the answer: "Way".

    When the vision of true "I" disappeared, the first thought came. And this thought drove on all the neutrons of the brain, having programmed them with one question: "how to explain it scientifically?" And I became a slave of this question. All my time was devoted to the search of the answer to this question.

    God is present everywhere and He is omnipotent omniscient and omnipresent. God has no form. God is only felt and not seen physically. The inner Joy one enjoys is the real God.So God is within us.

    God is love. We all have it, as we were made in His image. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It is in you, if you believe. Ask and you shall receive. They both met the God that is within us.

    Sometimes all it takes is giving freely, such as God has to his children, to feel his presence.

    That's why he commands that if you truly love him, you will feed his children. (with the Word of God)
