Inspirational Story :Life Before Death.. Last 3..Lessons of King Alexander...

There is very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the Greek king.

Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realizedhow his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.

He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit Him to reach his distant homeland. So,

The mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon,

I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail." With tears flowing down ..Their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.

"My first desire is that," said Alexander, "My physicians alone must carry my coffin." After a pause, he continued,

"Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury.

"The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued. "My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my coffin."The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dare bring the question to their lips. Alexander's favourite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. "O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"

At this Alexander took a deep breath and said: "I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt.
 
Lessons to learn from last 3 wishes of  King Alexander

... I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any body. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted..

The second wish of strewing gold,

silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell People that not even a fraction of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth.

And about my third wish of

having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world."With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last. .. . . .
 

 Al Sikkandar( Alexander) has taught a lesson to the lavishly spending people in this world long ago.

SECRET OF CHANGING YOUR WORLD-

In The Comfort Of Your Own Privacy

Surrendering Fearful Thoughts
Using the "Powerful Tool to Enhance Life"

We must recognize and understand the Universal Truth. Only YOU are accountable for the many experiences and situations that has happen in your Life...be it good or bad. We attract what we focus on most. The more energy we put into the thought…faster the manifestation. Your thought pattern determines your Life.

When an undesired situation occurs that brings out the worst fears in us (i.e. anger, frustration, sadness, humiliation etc.)…How do we change it? For instance, you and your spouse had an argument and are not in talking terms for 2 weeks. How do you self-heal or surrender your fearful thoughts or emotions to mend the relationship?

One of the simplest methods is to use the "Powerful Tool to Enhance Life".

This self-heal method can be used to improve and strengthen your relationship with anyone (i.e. your clients, boss, subordinates, spouse, parents, children, friends, adversaries etc.) Remember…you attracted this situation based on your own thought patterns (mind) so you have to surrender it for the situation to change. It has nothing got to do with the other person. 

1. Firstly, be conscious of all the emotions and thoughts that are running in your mind. If you find it difficult to recognize your fears, write your feelings down on a piece of paper.

Example:-

-My husband/wife is not listening to me
-We had a misunderstanding
-I am so sad, angry and hurt
-We have not spoken for days
-I am being ignored
-She/He doesn't understand me
-My partner does not love and trust me anymore

Fears : *not being listened to, misunderstanding, sadness, anger, hurt, not being spoken to, being ignored, not being understood, not being loved, and distrust.

2. Next, with your eyes closed, visualize falling and placing your forehead (mind) on the person's feet (i.e spouse) and say the verses below. At the end of the verse…just imagine "letting go" of all your fears *.

POWERFUL TOOL TO ENHANCE LIFE

I forgive you unconditionally
I forgive myself unconditionally
I love you unconditionally
I love myself unconditionally
I am accepting you unconditionally
I am receiving you unconditionally
I am giving you unconditionally
I am you
We are one
("letting go" fears *)

Repeat this step as often as you can. You will notice that your relationship with your spouse will improve tremendously for the better. It will be a good practice to imagine falling on your father's and mother's feet everyday (Father = Truth, Mother = Love).

3. Additionally, you could also do some positive affirmationsdaily. This is to shift your current believe and hence creating more love-based thought patterns such as happiness,confidenc e, abundance, fun, appreciation, being brave, respected and loved etc. Daily practice of affirmations can be Life transforming. Repeat each affirmation as many times as you can.

Below are some examples of affirmations that can be used for the situation illustrated above;

I am Listening Unconditionally
I am Being Obedient Unconditionally
I am Understanding Unconditionally
I am Being Understood Unconditionally
I am Joyfully Blissful Unconditionally
I am Calm Unconditionally
I am Loving Unconditionally
I am Being Loved Unconditionally
I am Trusting Unconditionally
I am Being Trusted Unconditionally
I am Speaking Unconditionally
I am Being Spoken to Unconditionally

TOGETHER, LETS EMBARK ON A MIRACULOUS JOURNEY EXPERIENCING THIS OBSERVABLE FACT OF SELF HEALING.

WHEN YOU WITNESS THE TRANSFORMATION, YOU ARE LED INTO THE SECRET OF CHANGING YOUR WORLD OUTSIDE SIMPLY BY SURRENDERING FROM THE INSIDE…

Dear Mother and Zuhara (wife),

Now I am completed 14 years at this January. I fed up with this Gulf life. I can not continue more here. I am deciding to cancel my Visa. Within the last four years, we could arrange the marriage of Zainaba, which was done well with the help of Allah higher than our expectation, and paid out all expenses related to her marriage.  Also settled my other loans too. Now I am deciding to settle at home and start any job like light driving or similar. I can not do any heavy work, because I have abnormal BP and Sugar. If I continue here, I am forced to pay all my salary for medical expenses, so it is better to continue any Unani treatment at home.

Yours Jamal.

Now your mother is depending his wife for everything. Also I heard, your mother is planning to give this  house to your brother. If any dispute arises, where can we go with our kids If you are decided to settle home, can you possible to make a house  for our own. Do you know the price of steel and Cement and labour charges, which is not affordable. I am just expressing my anxious, you can decide yourself.

Yours loving Zuhara.   

 

Dear Zuhara:

Now I am completed 19 years at my gulf life. Within this last four years, we built a new house with my effort which is higher than your expectation. Now I have no balance, except the retirement benefit from the company, i.e. my final settlement around SR 25000/-   Only that is my net balance. Anyhow turning back, I have satisfaction; I could do something for others.  From now, I can not continue here. Last 19 years, I could not understand what a family life is. Now I am deciding to settle home and I want to live with you and children. This month last, I am retiring from my job, see you face to face.

Yours loving Jamal.

 

Dear my sweet loving:

After reading your letter, I am very happy to know about your decision to discontinue the gulf life even you are late. But our son requested me to write one thing to you. He likes to join Engineering course. He got an admission Card from Amritha Auto Engineering College, Coimbatore. First year needs to pay 4 lakhs (SR 40000/-) then each year 3 lakhs each. No need to pay cash down at one stroke, they agreed installment payment. Students learning there are all expatriate ones. Fist installment must pay on or before this 30th. Expecting your reply soon,

Yours loving Zuhra.

 

He spent a sum more for the education of his son and to get marry his daughter, then now he completed 27 years. Now he is on the way to the Airport with his ultimate balance of Blood Sugar, Blood pressure, back pain and ulcer. On the way incidentally, he noticed a letter in his pocket, which he received from home, not opened yet.

 

That is the first letter he did not read in his Gulf life.
