View sorrows
through glasses of joy
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(This very positive message is a translation of a face book
posting by sri Murali
Venkatramani . my face book friend)
One great gentle
man with great sorrow wrote
in his diary,
“Last year my
gall bladder was removed,
And I was under treatment for a long long time,
AS I completed
sixty years of age , I had to retire from service,
My father died and my son was involved ,
In an accident
and could not write the medical
entrance test.,
I do not think I
have undergone such a bad year ,
anytime my life”
And then he
cried for some time and
slept.
His wife who
had gone out and saw her husband sleeping,
And read all that
he wrote in his diary with great
sorrow.
On the opposite page
of the same diary she wrote,
“Due to stone in
gall bladder , I was undergoing great pain,
And the doctors
removed it and I am
leading a painless life,
I was daily doing very hard work and used to get
very tired,
And during the year
I attained sixty years of age and
retired,
And I am now peaceful
and I spend my time happily reading and
praying,
My father who
had a fruitful life up to 95 reached
the feet of God,
Getting great
peace from the life that had become a burden to him,
My son escaped
without much injury due to
the grace of God
,
And he is thankful to God and is preparing for
next year’s entrance with great
vigour.
I think that I
have to thankful to God for giving me
such a happy Sterling year.”
She then engaged
herself in her cooking work
and her husband who woke up,
Read what she
had written and became happy and expressed his thanks to her.”
