When I Asked God…

When I Asked God for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face

When I Asked God for Brain & Brown
He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve

When I Asked God for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People

When I Asked God for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Favors
He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others

God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed
– Swami Vivekananda

    hi,
    i got your blog address from Satyanarayana sir. though your blog has no too many entries, it has very interesting write-ups. i am really moved by your write-up on ravindra. i am surprised how you manage to find time to write for the blog as most of the time you are on TV9 screen.

    SP,
    Nice poem.
    In the second stanza of the poem, I guess it should be
    ‘Brains and Brawn’ instead of ‘brain and brown’. Kindly forgive me if it’s my mistake as I could not make out the meaning of that particular phrase.

    it is a very nice and mind refreshing poem.
    every bit of the poem is so refreshing that no other poem can be so beautiful as it is.
