Prayers

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

A reckless driver drives a bus with bus load of passengers, on that fateful day, due to heavy rain, the bus driver finds it very difficult to steer the bus through the twists and turns of a mountain strip and his reckless passion is something he can not change, while struggling on a fine turn near the river, he slips his grip on the steering and the bus falls in the river, eventually everyone is liberated.


They all reach a gate with white light, where a saint hands over the ticket to the Heavens to the bus driver and tickets to the hell to the passengers.


A passenger argues that it was they who were praying and not the driver.


Saint: Yes! each one of you were praying for your own life, but the driver was praying for all of you while he was driving through that rain.

Moral: Selfless service is far more rewarding than self service.

A family lives on top of a tree, one day a child slips out of his house and takes a stroll towards the plains, there he finds something very scary and frightening, he decides to return home and after reaching home he narrates the whole story to his parents.


The parents grew curious to have a look at those scary things in the plains away from their forest home, they reach the plains and there they face two lanky creatures with two stands and two arms with a mush on the top and blunt teeth, soft skin and no fur or horns or fangs or nails, but they do have some sort of stick in their hands and a bag.


The parents immediately recognize those scary things, they say," they are human poachers and the stick in their hands is a Gun, they shoot painful darts at anything and everything, then they burn it and eat with dancing and singing".


Boy: do they eat us also?


Parents: No, but we ghosts should be very careful with them and next time you see them try to hide, do not cross their path.


The two shadows pass away without seeing the ghosts.:-)

A priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in

sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket and jeans.


Saint Peter addresses him, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you into the Kingdom of Heaven ?"


The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi driver, from New York,"


Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven ."


Now it's the priest's turn. He stands erect and booms out, "I am the Right Reverend Joseph Snow, pastor ofSaint Mary's for the last forty-three years."


Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the priest,"Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven ."


"Just a minute," says the priest. "That man was a taxi driver. Why does he get a silken robe and golden staff?"


"Results!," shrugged Saint Peter. "While you preached, people slept. When he drove, people prayed." :-))))))))))))


Moral: It's Performance, Not Position that Counts....
