Dear All,

As I complete one year on the JATLAND today, let me thank you all for giving me a patient hearing as also for making it a truly wonderful and memorable chapter of my life.

I wish all members and their loved ones all the very best in life.

May I take the opportunity to pen a few lines from something that I picked up few years ago. Here it goes...

As I was walking down life's highway many years ago I came upon a sigh that read 'Heavens Grocery Store'.

WHEN I got a little closer
the doors swung open wide
And when I came to myself
I was standing inside.
I saw a host of angels.
They were standing everywhere
One handed me a basket and said
"My child Shop with care"
EVERYTHING a human needed
was in that grocery store
And what you could not carry
you could come back for more.
FIRST I got some Patience.
LOVE was in the same row.
Further down was UNDERSTANDING,
you need that everywhere you go.
I GOT a box or two of WISDOM
and FAITH a bag or two.
I COULDN'T miss the HOLY GHOST
It was all over the place.
And then some STRENGTH and COURAGE
to help me run the race.
MY basket was getting full but
I remembered I needed GRACE,
And then I chose SALVATION
for SALVATION was for free
So I tried to get enough of
that to do for you and me.
THEN I started to the counter
to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought I had everything
to do the Masters will.
AS I went up the aisle I saw
PRAYER and put that in,
for I knew when I stepped outside
I would run into sin.
PEACE and JOY were plentiful,
the last thing on the shelf.
SONG and PRAISE were hanging
near so I helped myself.
THEN I said to the Angel
"Now how much do I owe?"
He smiled and said "Just take
them eevrywhere you go."
AGAIN I asked "Really now,
How much do I owe?"
"My child" he said, "God paid
your bill a long long time ago."

Bhai Jagmohan:

You have been a wonderful contributor to Jatland. I often remember those days some thirty years ago when we occasionally met in Sonepat. Indeed, you grew up to become a very wise person.

And yes, thanks for the poem. A perosn who acquires the five 'tatvas': Patience, Love, Understanding, Wisdom, Strength & Courage - is a very rich person. These are the tatvas you carry with you when you leave this world, all else is left behind.

Warm regards,

Budh
 
Col Sir,

Great poem. All good things in life are for free, for God pays the bill for them in 'heavens grocery store'. How true...

Your contributions to the Jatland has been great. I am happy that you liked being on Jatland. Congratulation for completing year 1. Hope you would continue to enlighten us with your well balanced views.
