Each Mrng Grandpa Was Up Early Sitting At The Kitchen Table Reading his
religious Holy Book. His Grandson Wanted To Be Just Like Him And Tried
To imitate Him in Every Way He Could.One Day The Grandson Asked,
"Grandpa! I Try To Read The Holy Book Just Like You But I Don't
Understand it, And What I Do Understand I Forget As Soon As I Close The
Book.What Good Does Reading The Holy Book do?"The Grandfather Quietly
Turned From Putting Coal in The Stove And Replied,"Take This Coal Basket
Down To The River And Bring Me Back A Basket Of Water."The Boy Did As
He Was Told, But All The Water Leaked Out Before He Got Back To The
House.The Grandfather Laughed And Said, "You'll Have To Move A Little
Faster Next Time," And SentHim Back To The River With The Basket To Try
Again.This Time The Boy Ran Faster, But Again The Basket Was Empty
Before He Returned Home.Out Of Breath, He Told His Grandfather That it
Was impossible To Carry Water in A Basket, And He Went To Get A Bucket
instead.The Old Man Said, "I Don't Want A Bucket Of Water; I Want A
Basket Of Water.You're just Not Trying Hard Enough," And He Went Out The
Door To Watch The Boy Try Again.At This Point, The Boy Knew it Was
impossible, But He Wanted To Show His Grandfather That Even if He Ran As
fastAs He Could, The Water Would Leak Out Before He Got Back To The
House.The Boy Again Dipped The Basket into River And Ran Hard,But When
He Reached His Grandfather The Basket Was Again Empty.Out of Breath, He
Said, " See Grandpa, it's Useless!""So you Think it is Useless?" The Old
Man Said, "Look At The Basket." " The Boy Looked At The Basket And
ForThe first Time Realized That The Basket Was Different.It Had Been
Transformed From A Dirty Old Coal Basket And Was Now Clean, inside And
Out."Son, That's What Happens When You Read The Holy Book.You Might Not
Understand Or Remember Everything, But When You Read it, You Will Be
Changed, Inside And out"that is the work of Waheguruji and Bani in our
lives and Let us all Clean ourselves .....
