It is strange, indeed!

Isn't it strange how Rs. 20/=
seems like such a large
amount when
you donate it to temple, but
such a small amountwhen you go shopping?

Isn't it strange how 2 hours
seem so long when
you're at place of worship, 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 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 orgames, but they do whatever
is possible to sit at the last
row in a holy place?

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 Gita and other holy books
of Acharya Madhva

Isn't it strange how everyone
wants a place in
heaven, 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 God,
we think about it twice
before we share it with others?

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?
