Footprints

The other day some children were playing at a funpark.There was this patch of land filled with sand where a volleyball court had been built.The children while playing their own games had stepped on to the volleyball court.Their parents had left after playing leaving behind their footprints on sand.

The children had found a new game of their own.Each one had started walking on those footprints, step by step.The full impressions of the parents feet on the sand now had smaller impressions within them.So now all the larger footprints had a smaller impression inside.

Just try and look at this from a broader perspective...the larger footprints are of that of GOD and the smaller ones are OUR.The supreme soul does not want anything from us except that we follow him and his path with full faith and the rest is taken care of by HIM.All our miseries,pain,sorrow will just go away and we will be happy like the children who without giving any thought to what they were doing were simply following the footprints of their parents with gay abandon.
