No Deposit Bonus Casinos
There is good fortune that brings ruin and bad fortune that leads to good results.
There was a village in Punjab, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, India. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, One day all the chickens died in the village. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The village elders called a meeting and decided that such an exceptional occurrence must have a meaning that they were not able to ascertain. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, They resolved to seek the advice of a strange saint who lived in a tree on the outskirts of the village. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, They walked to the saint’s tree and addressed him. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, “O venerable sadhu, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, all the chickens in our village suddenly died. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, What is the meaning of this.” The saint began to laugh hysterically for five minutes. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, All the elders were uncomfortable with his strange behavior, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, but they remained respectfully silent until he composed himself and finally spoke. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, “This is God’s special blessing on you.” After this short statement the sage remained silent. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Some of the elders were disappointed by the saint’s answer. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, While walking back to the village, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, the skeptics began to criticize the strange behavior of the saint and questioned his sincerity. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The senior elders defended the saint and said that his seeming strange behavior was not a subject of criticism. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Such a saint should be always respected because he continually demonstrates severe renunciation and has never deviated from his vows of chastity and poverty. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The next day, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, all the dogs in the village died suddenly. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The elders returned again to the saint and asked his opinion. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He again began to laugh hysterically for ten minutes making all the elders very uncomfortable with his strange behavior. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Finally, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, after composing himself, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, he stated that this again was the special mercy of God and remained silent. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The skeptical elders protested and began to raise their voices in protest, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, but the others quelled their voices and cautioned them to remain respectful in the presence of the saint. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, As they returned to the village the skeptics argued that asking the advise of the saint was useless. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, All he replied was that this is the special mercy of God. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, What if the entire village was destroyed, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, would he insist still that it is the special mercy of God. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, How can they expect a rational reply from the saint? He lives in a tree like an animal and barely eats. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, How can he know anything about the mercy of God. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Other elders again remonstrated that to speak disrespectfully of the saint would bring ruin to the village. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Although his behavior seemed irrational, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, still they should carefully consider his words and try to understand the meaning. No Deposit Bonus Casinos,
The next day, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, all the fires in the village went out. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, This was a serious problem as they would have to go to the next village to acquire hot coals to start the fires again. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, They would also not be able to cook food that day. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Again they approached the saint and asked his advice. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He began to laugh hysterically for fifteen minutes and finally calmed himself. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Needless to say, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, all the villagers were uncomfortable and even the most staunch defenders of the saint began to doubt his sincerity. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Finally the saint pronounced very solemnly that this was the ultimate mercy of God on the villagers. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, This time there was only one elder who continued to defend the saint. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, All the others were convinced that it was a waste of time consulting him as his only answer was that this is the mercy of God. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, What kind of mercy is that. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Continual adversity cannot be mercy they thought.
The one staunch elder, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, however, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, kept the others at bay. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, They did not insult the saint to his face, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, but they decided by majority vote not to consult him again. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, They were convinced except for the one elder that these adversities were the result of God’s mercy, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, but rather chance occurrences that they could not attribute any divinity. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The next day a huge army of fierce Muslim invaders approached the village. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The Muslims had been pillaging all the Hindu villages, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, razing them and killing all inhabitants. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, As the hoard of Muslims neared the village, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, the general stopped the army’s march and looked and listened carefully. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, All the inhabitants of the village were hiding and were frightened beyond their wits. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The general remarked, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, “There is something strange about this village. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, There are no dogs, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, no chickens and all the fires are out it seems for days. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, This must be an abandoned village and most probably it is haunted. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, We will ignore this village and proceed to the next one.”
The villagers realized that the words of the saint were true. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Although they thought he was an eccentric fool, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, it became evident that he was truly in touch with God and was able to foresee the future. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, There is bad fortune that leads to good results and good results that sometimes lead to bad fortune.
There is another interesting story about a three breasted Princess. No Deposit Bonus Casinos,
A king had a newly born daughter. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, On examination, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, the little girl was born with three breasts.The king called his advisers and asked their opinion. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, They claimed it was very inauspicious. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, They advised the king to abandon the baby in the forest. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The king prudently asked his priest for advice too. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The priest confirmed that it was a bad omen for the king to have a three breasted daughter. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He suggested the king not see her. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, However, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, he instructed the king to have the girl raised outside the palace. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, When she came of age the king could have her married and then send the girl and her husband to a far away place to live.
When the girl grew up to marriageable age, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, the king sent town criers to announce to the public, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, “The king is offering his daughter with three breasts in marriage along with ten thousand gold coins. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, But the groom and his bride will then be banished forever from the kingdom.
After many days a blind man who had a hunchback friend heard the proclamation. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He discussed the possibility of accepting the king’s offer. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He said to his friend, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, I am inclined to accept this offer because our life here is miserable. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, We are struggling to exist with no money. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He said
An empty stomach is not a good friend
It has no grace, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, it leads to a dead end
One who is well fed is kind and witty
Giving, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, sharp minded, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, full of energy”.After his statement, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, the blind man went to the palace to accept the king’s daughter in marriage. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, On hearing the offer, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, the king said, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, “Whatever he may be, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, give him my daughter and the gold and let him immediately depart.
The marriage was completed and the blind man, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, his new wife and the hunchback friend left the kingdom in a fisherman’s boat for a distant land. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, When they reached a foreign country, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, they purchased a house and lived comfortably for some time.The princess develop a liking for the hunchback. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, They began to make love secretly. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, One day the princess suggested that they would be much happier if her husband was dead. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, She suggested they poison her husband. No Deposit Bonus Casinos,
The hunchback reluctantly agreed. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He went out in search of poison in the forest. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He found a dead snake which he brought back to the princess for making a soup. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, She made of pot of boiling water with the snake and vegetables and spiced the mixture to taste. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The blind man’s wife asked her husband to stir the boiling pot while she attended to the laundry. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, She added that she was making a very tasty boiled fish and vegetable soup. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The blind man stirred the soup ardently.
As he stirred the soup, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, poisonous vapors wafted into his nostrils and eyes. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, In some miraculous way the vapors healed his blindness. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Gradually he gained his eyesight and looked about the house. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He noticed the pot of soup and realized that it was not a fish but a poisonous snake cooking down into a broth. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He suspected that there was a plot to kill him by poisoning. No Deposit Bonus Casinos,
He decided to act as if he was blind so that he could find out who was trying to poison him. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, In a few minutes the hunchback appeared and went to the princess who was doing chores and began to kiss and fondle her. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The blind man saw this and became infuriated. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He walked toward the two love birds as if he was blind. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, As he approached they parted and the wife went back to her chores. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He walked up to the hunchback who was unaware that the blind man could see. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The husband bent down and then grabbed the feet of the hunchback and began to whirl him around in a fit of anger. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The wife approached the two in a hurry to stop her husband, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, but he dashed the hunchback against her chest.
The unexpected happened. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The blow of the hunchback’s hump on the wife’s chest pushed in the third breast which disappeared. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, At the same time, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, the hunchback’s hump straightened and also disappeared.
All three were favored by an act of fortune even though it was the result of a sinful act. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The quirk of fate became the good fortune of the three. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Therefore, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, the Armenian proverb says, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, “There is good fortune that brings ruin and bad fortune that leads to good results.”
We should, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, however, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, be convinced that foolish and sinful acts lead eventually to misery. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Although we may be controlled by fate, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, still our acts may have an influence on fate. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, We should never act rashly and we should try our best to avoid sinful acts.
Once there was a man sitting on a branch of a tree and sawing it off at the point it grew out from the trunk. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Another man walking by noticed the foolhardy endeavor and remarked, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, “Sir, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, if you continue to do what you are doing, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, you will cut the branch off and fall down. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Perhaps, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, you will injure yourself severely.”The man on the branch rebuked the person who made the well intentioned comment, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, “Mind you own business, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, I know what I am doing. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, I don’t need your advice.”
The stroller realized that the man on the branch was too arrogant or foolish to listen to his advice. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, He continued on his path convinced that something unfortunate would happen to the foolish man. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Sure enough, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, in a short while, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, the man on the branch fell off the tree and screamed in agony. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, His cries for help pained the stroller, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, who ran back to try and help. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The fool broke his arm as a result of his fall. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, When the stroller approached to help, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, the fool said, No Deposit Bonus Casinos,
“You are truly a man of vision. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, How did you know I would fall and hurt myself?”
The stroller replied, No Deposit Bonus Casinos,
“I am not a soothsayer or prophet. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, I simply observed your sawing the branch off and understood you would probably fall down and injure yourself. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Foolish or passionate acts often lead to misery. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, One should never act rashly. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, Rather, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, one should listen to the advice of experienced persons before acting.”We do not have to be a prophet to know what will happen in the future. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, You can tell by observing the behavior of people. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, There are three qualities that control the actions of people in this world. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, They are goodness, No Deposit Bonus Casinos, passion and ignorance. No Deposit Bonus Casinos, The actions of people who are endowed with goodness
