Your Concern Could Mean a Miracle!!
On a misty cool morning an old man was running slowly along the sea shore. He was fat and because of his big tummy, it was really hard for him to lean forward. Though, in the middle of his run, he picked up something from the sand and threw it into the sea. Seeing him repeating this, a young man followed him curiously and asked, “What are you doing?” The old man turned around and smiled at him. “Cant you see, I was saving the life of some starfish”, the old man replied. The young man followed him again and found he was busy picking the little star fishes got deposited in the dry sand and throwing them back into sea before they die. The young man astonished and asked again “Oh! This is quite strange, there are a lot of fishes you see here and the world does not change if you save only a few of them!” The old man again picked up a small fish and replied to the young man. “Yes! You are absolutely right. The world does not change if I save only a few of them. But the world of that starfish changed a lot!” saying this, the old man started running and repeated what he was doing earlier!!
You can’t change the whole world. But your little acts of kindness can bring some positive change in this world. Don't hesitate to offer it even if you think it is least important.
About Sathkruthi
'SATHKRUTHI' is a Registered Social Welfare Organisation which was started in December, 2006. Its aim is to unite people from different walks of life to work for a cause; a cause that would better the society for the next generation to live in. Sathkruthi translates into "a Good Deed"; and that is the organisation's main objective. A drop from Swami Vivekananda's ocean of teachings formed the inspiration to start SATHKRUTHI. In life, occasions arise which call for concern, selfless service and sacrifice. But the difference lies in realizing and rising to those occasions. It is a matter of time, resources and a big question, How to do it? Though sacrifice is a very big word to be used in this context, contribution to the community in the form of service would be an easier job.
“We can do no great things, but only small things with great love.”
Need can have various meanings/interpretations, but everyone deserves his/her most basic ones to be met with. A small gesture can bring a big smile on one's face. SATHKRUTHI always welcomes cooperation and a united effort in achieving something; anything for the benefit of another deserving human being.
“We can’t help everyone but everyone can help someone.”
It's all well and good to think that “you do a good deed and good things happen to you automatically"--"Karma" which would be an apt word to describe i.e., holding the door open whole-heartedly without expecting any returns for someone who is really in need is what matters.
