I’m always having to use handywoman tricks to keep all my equipment in tip-top condition. Even a simple loose screw can cause all sorts of problems. You can easily remedy a loose screw with this handy carpenter's tip! If you find yourself dealing with a screw hole that's become too roomy over time, here's a simple trick: wrap a small piece of steel wool around the screw before you reinsert it. This nifty technique provides just the right amount of grip to snugly secure the screw without the hassle of filling and redrilling holes. You can give it a try and watch your loose screw problems disappear!
Now, it’s time to check out the following joke which was scooped out from the hilarity river. It’s entitled “Humble Offering.”
A group of practitioners is on the way to a meditation retreat. While waiting for the connecting flight at the airport, some of them are taking naps or meditating, and others are eating vegan snacks. One is eating potato chips, one at a time. Each time she takes one out of the bag, she raises it above her forehead to offer it to God before eating. A fellow practitioner saw this and said:
“Hey, why are you so stingy in your offering to God? Why don’t you offer the whole bag of chips instead of one piece at a time?”
?!?
And now we have a heartline from Zohrin in Pahang, Malaysia:
Greetings to Respected Master and the Supreme Master TV team. A few years ago, I saved five kittens that were soaked from the heavy rain in a park in front of my house. At the time, they were crying and took shelter under a dried thorny branch with dried leaves. Some of their eyelids were injured due to the thorns on the dried branch. I took them home and put them into a big box with a few pieces of cloth in the box to help them keep warm. I put them in an open area in the garage so the cat-mother could easily find them.
The next morning, I saw the cat-mother nursing her children. I was so happy to see their family reunited; the scene was so sweet! Master once said, “Everything you do, you actually do it for yourselves.” So when I saw the cat-mother and her children suffering, it was as if I was suffering too, so I helped them so wholeheartedly.
After a few days, the cat-mother moved her children to another place, but strangely, she left a kitten. A few days had passed, but the cat-mother didn’t come to take her last kitten. So, I had to act as a mother to the kitten and feed her every day. I was very worried and whispered in my heart, “O cat-mother, you still have a kitten here! Don’t leave her here. Please come quickly!”
Thankfully, at last, a few days later, the cat-mother came back and took her beloved child away. Wow! It was so heartwarming to see the kitten finally back in her mother’s care. For quite some time, I misunderstood the cat-mother’s actions, thinking that she heartlessly abandoned her child. Then, I remembered Master’s teaching that said animal-people are creatures that care and are really loyal to their caregivers for their whole lifetime. They showed not only gratefulness, but they would repay the kindness shown to them, etc. Suddenly, I realized that the cat-mother didn’t leave her last child alone, but gave her most beloved child to me to repay my kindness. I was so touched by the cat-mother’s actions.
I thank Master for giving me the opportunity to experience the emotional world of living creatures, and I am even more grateful to Master for giving me initiation and the Gift of Grace, for allowing me to follow a Living Master and get liberated in one lifetime. I thank the frontline and the behind-the-scenes teams at Supreme Master TV for creating such great programs. Every day, I meditate with gratefulness and benefit greatly from a life full of surprises and blessings. It’s so amazing. I pray to the Gods and angels to protect the outer and inner work of Master to be smooth and successful. May World Vegan, World Peace come true immediately. Lastly, this disciple never forgets to tell the Beloved and Most Respected Master: I Love You! A disciple who loves You, Zohrin from Pahang, Malaysia
Nurturing Zohrin, We are so delighted that all the little kittens survived. It seems likely that the thoughtful cat-mother perhaps had left you the precious gift of a kitten as your companion, for all the loving care you provided. May the Cosmic benevolent Beings help you and the young-at-heart Malaysian people to know the joy of sharing life with our beautiful animal-people co-inhabitants. In Heavenly bliss, Supreme Master TV team
P.S. Master replies with these happy words: “Fortunate Zohrin, it is wonderful that you had this opportunity to feel the joy of assisting the mother cat-person and nursing one of these young beings back to health. Cat-people are so intuitive! The cat-mother knew that you did not understand and so took back her gift, but not her deep gratitude to you – that is yours to hold in your heart forever. With much Love, may you and abundant Malaysia be blessed by the Heavens to always practice benevolence and show compassion.”
