The typical person

Isn't it strange how £10 seems like such a large amount when you donate it to temple, but such a small amountwhen you go shopping?

Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at temple, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?

Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?

Isn't it strange how difficultand boring it is to read one chapter of the Gita, but how easy it is to read 100 pages ofa popular novel?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in temple?

Isn't it strange how we need toknow about an event for temple 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events in the last minute?

Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?

Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say, but we question the words in the Ramayana?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?

Think about it.....
