A Siberian shaman asked God to show him a man that He loved. The Lord advised him to look for a certain farmer.
“What do you do to make the Lord love you so much?” the shaman asked the farmer when he found him.
“I say His name in the morning. I work all day and say His name before going to sleep. That’s all,” the farmer replied.
I think I found the wrong man, thought the shaman.
Just then the Lord appeared and said, “Fill a bowl with milk, go to town and then return. Without spilling a single drop.”
The shaman did so. On his return, the Lord wanted to know how many times he had thought of Him.
“How could I? I was worried not to spill the milk!”
“A simple bowl made you forget Me,” said the Lord, “and the farmer, with all his tasks, thinks of me twice a day.”

El hombre amado
Un chamán siberiano pidió a Dios que le mostrase un hombre amado por Él. El Señor le aconsejó que buscara a cierto labrador.
-¿Qué haces para que el Señor te ame tanto? –preguntó el chamán al labrador cuando lo hubo encontrado.
-Digo Su nombre por la mañana. Trabajo todo el día entero, y digo Su nombre antes de dormir. Nada más que eso.
“Creo que me he equivocado de hombre,” pensó el chamán.
Y en ese momento apareció el Señor, diciendo: “Llena un cuenco de leche, ve a la ciudad y vuelve, sin derramar una sola gota.”
El chamán obedeció. A la vuelta, el Señor quiso saber cuántas veces había pensado en Él.
-¿Cómo podía hacer eso? ¡Estaba preocupado por no derramar la leche!
-Un simple cuenco ha hecho que me olvides –dijo el Señor-. Y el labrador, que nunca deja de trabajar, piensa en mí dos veces al día.

The fact said in it is true…. I had read this in a different form, A conversation between Lord Vishnu(Hinduism) & Naradha Muni(a devotee)….. great to find it here.
only god knows how much we love and appreciate what he do to us….paolo i don’t know how you made all these stories..but what i know is that you’re gods gift to us….
Cuanta sabiduría encierran sus frases breves, que por breves y claras son grandiosas. Amo a este hombre.
LO COMPARTO
we never measure the FAITH of every person..we are all unique and we have different ways in GLORIFYING OUR GOD!
This reminds me exactly similar story in Hindu mythology of Lord Vishnu and Narada.
La historia es hermosa y profunda. Es para reflexionar.
a DIOS hay que agradecerle todo el tiempo por todas las cosas buenas y las no tan buenas que nos manda EL va acomodando nuestra vida como un ajedrez y por eso hay que agradecerle todo los dias
This story reminded me of something I learnt the hardest way, yet I’m so grateful for the hardest way.
God is peace in the middle of the storm . The farmer had been able to transform his work into his prayer unlike the shaman who was still on his way toward enlightment.
So very true Adriana. I could not say it better myself.
A spiritual human being will never know the inner secrets of a person the way God does. This is what I got from this nice short story.
I think Gott is Live, and when I am in Live I think every time to gott.
But when I forgotten the life for a moment in the bussy would ?
Than I am paint a picture ore whrite a letter…and perhaps I am in Live…

We are surrounded from so much lies that we just can’t see all how easy it is to find the kindness around us. I just wish that everyone could knew that. I wanna well this out to all the world but, in the mean time I do my extremely tiny part(for the moment):

“Nous sommes entourés de tant de mensonges que nous ne pouvons pas voir tous combien il est facile de trouver de la bonté qui nous entoure. ”
je partage cette réflexion, et cela m’est difficile de croire en l’être humain il me semble si avide de pouvoir … et pourtant je persévère…
hermoso..querida Olta..todos podemos mejorar el mundo..si aportamos nuestro granito de arena..es como una gota mas otra mas otra hasta formar un mar..un oceano..
Lo bueno..esta en las cosas simples..en lo casi que no se percibe cada dia..el mundo esta lleno de esas pequeñas maravillas y seres..besos te quiero
It is said that people think mostly of God, in Hospitals and .. Cemeteries!;-]
I think that our communication with HIM is .. infinite and continuous! We may live in this three dimensional world, but inside us and … ‘above’ us, we are constantly ‘conversing’ with HIM in point ZERO! The omnipresent and timeless.. ‘The Light that lightens everyone who comes into Cosmos..’
LOVE,

I hav read this quote long time ago..but still remember in my day to day life..what we need today is the remembrance of Almighty God in our busy life… God lies within ourselves….
Is beautiful if someone busy keep some moments to remember Almighty God. We should not forgett about Him a second.
Simple yet powerful!
It is so, you exist in God creation, so he should also exist in you and in what you are creating or are working for.
Reading people’s minds?
Love’s LOVE can’t be greater than that.
Just right yesterday I had my heart warmed by this God’s message. I already knew it, but I hadn’t felt it yet.
“Come in my Joy and enjoy my kingdom with me, cause I m not here to reward you for the good or bad you carry with you, but to love you the way you are and heal what is hurt within you. Come! I am here to Love and give everyone my love which no one can claim to deserve more that one other.”
A good parent can’t make difference between their children no matter how good or bad are they. He will love them the same and there’s no place for pride or fear in Love.
“Believe in this love I have for you and you’ll have my kingdom in you.”
The Beloved Man? We all are!
Just open your eyes and see that. This is all we need to do, the rest comes by itself…
Love
Olta
comprobado Dios nunca nos pide cosas difìciles, solo que nuestra parte imperfecta(somos de barro) no nos deja en muchas ocasiones pensar con claridad acerca de nuestro Dios

“Irkoutsk (Russie) L’homme aime
Un chaman de Siberie demande a Dieu de lui montrer un homme aime par lui. Le Seigneur lui conseilla d’aller trouver un certain cultivateur.
“Que faites-vous pour que le Seigneur vous aime tant? demanda le Chaman au cultivateur, quand il le rencontra.
-Je dis Son nom le matin. Je travaille toute la journee, et je dis Son nom avant de me coucher. C’est tout.”
“Je crois que cet homme n’est pas le bon” ,pensa le Chaman. Et a cet instant, le Seigneur apparut et lui dit:
“Remplis une jatte de lait, va jusqu’a la ville et reviens, sans renverser une seule goutte.”
Le chaman obeit. A son retour, le Seigneur voulut savoir combien de fois l’autre avait pense a Lui.
“Comment l’aurais-je pu? Je me preoccupais de ne pas renverser le lait?
-”Une simple jatte, et tu M’oublies, dit le Seigneur. Le cultivateur, malgre toutes ses occupations, pense a Moi deux fois par jour.”

esta istoria se parece a la del joven que va donde el sabio para que le enseñe el secreto de la felicidad y lo manda a rrecorer su castillo con una cuchara de te con dos gotas de aceite
un hombre que lo tenia todo en la vida,oraba y le pedia a dios.,y siempre que caminaba le acompañaba una sombra,la cual era de dios siempre feliz.
un buen dia la sombra desaparecio,y solo veia su sombra,y desia dios me as abandonado,siempre oro y pienso en ti.
las cosas comenzaron a irle mal perdio dinero trabajo etc, y caminando por la playa llorando desia dios mio porque me abandonas solo veo mi sombra donde estas.,dios le respondio no es tu sombra sino la mia te llevo embrazos
queste tre storie nella mia mente richiama la parabola che si trova sul testo sacro quanto ad ognuno dei fratelli viene affidata vari compiti e solo uno arriva al traguardo; segna la meta solo il soggetto che è puro di cuore e porta sempre dentro di sè il germoglio primordiale, la matrice. Per questo si afferma che i puri entreranno nel regno dei cieli, o bisogna sempre rimanere bambini, ciò significa che non dobbiamo inquinare la primordialità il suono quantico….
God has no needs & no requirements!
“If you evolve to the next level, it’s because you want to, not because you have to.”
I like that, I never thought of it that way.
Thank you!
Amazing. Beautiful.
It’s not a matter of distraction. It’s not or …or, but and… and. We can learn to spiritualise our actions and act on our spirituality. Let everything you say or do be born out of God. Feel His love and energy in every cell of your being. Bless everything you say or do.
Esta historia parece bonita pero al mismo tiempo me parece un poquito “trompeuse et tendancieuse”: pourquoi parler de Shaman quand il aurait suffit de dire Tartampion ou Fulano de Tal?
Es impresionante como no olvidamos de Dios hasta en las cosas mas simples, luego nos quejamos de ¡porque nos ocurren cosas malas! o ¡porque no me va bien! y no nos detenemos a dedicarle un solo momento a ese nuestro creador.
Hai ragione.Mi é piacuto molto.
Sometimes,I dont ” believe” or Im not thinking in GOD, but, when I talk to him, only for a few seconds, I realize and I feel, that GOD is listening to me, and he is helping me…
The truth is that he is always waiting us, he is beside us, althougt we sometimes not realize.
Pray and your dreams will come true¡¡¡¡
hello mam
i love this remember my childwood
beautiful i read it as a mail,,in my mail box,,i think to be able to remember god,,,,fulfilling allour worldy duties is the truest w ay ,,of acknowledging his presence!!!!!!!!!!!thnks for sharing ,,god bless!!!!!!!
ya we forget Him in our daily routine, if we just remember Him and His well while doing anything then we will be successful not only in this world but also after it
God has given me duty to do work for humanity and iam trying to obey him.
alhumdullilah i am a muslim and its my first prority to pray Allah five times a day and remember Him ,to thank Him and to remeber Him ,He has himself made a sweet way for me to get the reward if i believe
I think work should not distract you from God and God should not distract you or deprive you from work!! We had a teacher who was incredibly distracted during his religious fasting of a month – did that help me in my studies?? NO! Should he fast as a full-time teacher?? He was almost like an addict distracted at prayer times!
Little wonder that the beloved man thought of God twice a day and in his personal time…for the rest of the day he was devoted to work :-)
Fasting shouldn’t distract on the contrary it makes you focused, ask anyone who fasts that holy month. It’s truly a blessing!
When i was little, i was drawing everything orange..well not everything, but what i loved or liked.. things/people that i loved , all these i painted them orange.. so my orange-era begun! I distinctly remember a horse that i painted orange, i still have it in an envelope along with other precious drawings when i was a kid..
this picture reminded me of this..
Also the story reminded me of a comedy-story about a person who made a confession to a church about his past, and said “Well, God, here I am now, and i know i have not been good, i have forgotten you, I have done bad things, but i need you now.. and I call on your name..although many women actually have said your name when i was sleeping with them…” hilarious scene..
but not the point..
the point is , as in the Alchemist, not to drop the teaspoon with the oil, but also never forget the marvels of the world.. balance of matter and soul with spirit..
Love and Gratitude
