Heaven Or Hell
 By : Vivek Chhabra ( Posted on :29 Jun, 2006 )Total Views : 777 | Previous | Next
Good Lesson for all Humans

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like."
The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.

The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths, and so had to stay hungry.

The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
The Lord said, "You have now seen Hell."

They then went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons. But here, the people were well-nourished and plump, laughing and talking, and happy.
And the Lord said, "You have now seen Heaven."

The holy man was puzzled and said, "Lord, I don't understand...The circumstances are the same in both rooms, so how can this be?."

"It is simple" said the Lord, "it requires but one skill. You see, those in heaven have learned to feed each other, while the greedy in hell think only of themselves."
