MY DEED COUNTS!!!



Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land
Little deeds of kindness, little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden like the heaven above.

Like I said before… little drops of water make the mighty ocean……each little brick might make a large edifice! Even the ancient kings believed in this universal truth when they built huge monuments…………..so why don’t we?!!?
Just yesterday…..standing at the gate to an auditorium I saw a lot of kids dropping paper on the ground………..now I didn't like that so I picked up all those that were in my vicinity thereby making that little area cleaner……………..never did I expect that the other younger children looking at me doing this would actually pick up some themselves!!! This was a living example of what a little deed can do!!
Have you noticed that every time you do something good you feel good and at peace with yourself ……..at a spiritual level…I feel that all good deeds help to eliminate all the emotional garbage that we carry in our heart … ………………and when you don’t……..your conscience pricks at you!!.......you see the deeds that you do not only affect others but also you…..as a person with a conscience.
I was looking through a few websites while writing this when I stumbled upon a quaint and touching site about what some people have done to help after the 9/11 attacks………….it made it very evident that each small deed DOES count! People have talked bout how they made cards to give the fire fighters and policemen…….someone even mentioned that they didn't eat meat for a few days after that in a spiritual act towards world peace!
We have been talking about India becoming a developed nation soon……….and that if her population was educated…she would become a super power in no time……..we speak of the need for good teachers who are dedicated and want to educate the masses………..but when we are asked…..what is your career option………..honestly……………there is hardly anyone who actually stands up n says…..I am going to be a teacher!! We must always remember…….. The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention!!
Each man leaves behind his carbon footprints when he passes away…………he either hurts or helps the environment permanently during his lifetime……and it tells even after he is dead………hence people, watch your actions and ensure that you don’t hurt the world in anyway lest the next generation discuss you in a manner you do not like!!!
If none of my arguments convinced you(though I hope they all did…)……there’s only one thing that I have left to say……….Men pass away, but their deeds abide. Hopefully our deeds will have something good to say about us………….

  1. This is really relevant these days....all u ppl out there should start doin stuff that u preach urselves first,and THEN expect others to do it....7 out of ten ppl chuck garbage when and where they want and then complain that India's dirty because of the govt....but u gotta remember....a country starts with a citizen,not a govt....u gotta BE the change u wanna see.....and if u dont dont expect ur life to improve one inch....
