ISN'T IT STRANGE.......
Isn't it strange how $200 seems like such a large amount when you
donate it to temple, but such a small amount when you go shopping?
Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at the temple,
and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?
Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're
praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?
Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of
the Bhagavad-gita, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?
Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or
games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row or at the back of the temple room?
Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for temple 2-3
weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events in the last minute?
Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to
share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and
repeat gossip?
Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and
newspapers say, but we question the words in the Bhagavatam and other scriptures?
Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in the spiritual world,
but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?
Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded
right away, but when we are going to send messages about Krishna, we think about it twice before we share it with others?
IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?
Now that you've read this message, if you feel that it is appropriate,
forward it to anybody that you consider a friend.
