TIMELY HELP.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?

A man visited a Monastery, bowed to the Head and said,

“Reverend Sir! Our Scriptures say that 

GOD SENDS TIMELY HELP TO ALL, ALL THE TIME..

But I don't see such help around  for me as well as others, equal number of times!"

The Head took him to the terrace of the building and asked him watch the busy road at some distance..

• A young man in haste cut across the road to cross and the next moment, he faced the wrath of the vehicle drivers who pointing out his glaring mistake, made him say ‘sorry' and retreat..

• A high school student made a mistake in respect of traffic rules and the elder next to him instantly instructed on how to adhere to the rules from his safety point of view..

• A very old man, was trying his best to cross the road and a young lady seeing him, immediately came forward and made him cross the road with the vehicle drivers waiting patiently for them to walk across..

• A child walking with his mother was totally in a playful mode but the mom all along controlled the movements of the little one to see that he does not run helter-skelter with few passers-by advising the mother to be extra careful..

The Head looked at the man and said,

“Dear! Here, you might have observed 4 incidents around you in a short time..

• In the 1st case, the capable young man who thought he could do the job easily had to face the wrath of drivers on road when he erred and thus had learnt a lesson instantly..

Here the help from God was there to the young man teaching the right

Through the shoutings from others..

• In the 2nd case, the adolescent boy no doubt needed further guidance and support and

Here help from God was there to the young boy teaching the right

Through the elder next to him who rose to the occasion and taught him in time..

• In the 3rd case, the very old man truly needed help and

Here help from God was there to the elderly man

Through the voluntary service of the young lady doing the right work with rest waiting for her complete the job..

• The last was totally a case of innocence and helplessness..

Here, the help from God was there to the young one

Through the care of the mother with others on the road giving their own advice to the mother doing the right part of their work..

Now tell me.. Don't our Scriptures say right?"
