hi all,
Life has taught us lot of things...we have been shocked, had our quota of fun, and also impressed and impacted from the everyday news...The panchantra stories to the chicken soup to the today's real life stories...

IS There A Scale To Measure This????
Posted 27th November 2007 at 10:51 PM by Shanvy
Few days back, one of my friends said, god is always testing me, when is he going to really help me out..made me think...though i told her a lot of soothing comments...still somewhere subconciously I was also asking the same question...
How much more...am i going to be tested. I know there is Borg scale to measure the physical capacity or the endurance level of a person..When i go for my treadmill test, my heart rate tells my cardio which is my range...but what is the measure HE (I mean GOD) uses or how does HE knows what is my staturation level from where i cannot take any more....
HE tests me, only because HE knows i can pass the test,so when the tests are over the results and the fruits are going to be mine to treasure and cherish, but me being me, will always question when.....
For those of you who know tamil...there are two songs my favourite...
srichakra......
thunba pudathil ittu thooyavan akki veithai....
.......
(I am may not be able to give the proper translation..but it means, that you are put into the fire of grief and cleansed and then given all that is due to you in this birth...)
and my favourite PSivan(papanasam sivan.) in a song ramanai bajathaal says,
sodanai theeyil pudam iduvaar....
eduthu thooki anandathai alithuduvaar....
But though I say all this...does it mean the equation changes..no..we change..we become more confident, stronger.....as ralph emerson said... Things don't change, we change
Maybe my capacity for the test increases....what do you think....

nicely worded and presented, Shanthi!
I also like the song of Papanasam Sivan which you had highlighted.
they say that only to show the world the worthiness of the soul, God tests.
When our perception changes, everything seems to change dramatically.

Hi Shanthi
I too believe that God tests those whom he loves the most. But he gives us strenght too, to bear it. If he does not test us how we will learn the truth of life??.............How will we know happiness, learn to forgive people...........It is he who teaches us to face our problems in order to smile and make others to smile.Posted 24th December 2007 at 08:06 AM by Arunarc
