OUR LIFE A PIECE OF CAKE

OUR LIFE A PIECE OF CAKE

 

"It is impossible to describe all His ways and methods." – Sri Saisatcharitra, Ch. 18, 19.

 

A little boy was telling his Grandma how everything in his life and this world was going wrong. School, family problems, severe health problems, etc.


Meanwhile, his Grandma was baking a cake. She asked her grandson if he would like a snack, which ofcourse he said he would.


"Here, have some cooking oil."- told the Grandma.


"Yuck" said the boy.


"How about a couple of raw eggs?"


"Gross, Grandma"


"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"


"Grandma, those are all yucky!"


Grandma replied: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake."

God works the same way. Sometimes, don't we wonder "What did I do to deserve this", or "Why did God have to do this to me". Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times.


But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for the good. We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful.


God loves us so much. He sends us flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever we want to talk, He listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose our hearts. So Believe Completely that He loves us and whatever is happening is only the process of baking a cake......to finally make it into a delicious cake and just like beating gold to make a beautiful ornament out of it.


So next time, you face any hiccups, instead of complaining, think of the entire picture and view life as a whole and reflect on why such an experience was given to you and what is to be learnt from it for your own personal evolution and keep moving on with life.


Life as a whole is just like this piece of cake –  Hope your day is a "piece of cake."
