Unknown interesting facts about Ramayan

1. Sita's abduction was a curse

The root cause for the whole Ramayan and Sita's abduction was a curse. When Ravana and his brothers received boon from Lord Bramha, they planned on invading the kingdom of Amravathi, the capital of Indra's kingdom.

For the same, to achieve higher levels of power, Ravana started Pursuing "Aatma linga". Lord Shiva impressed by his penance, he granted him a wish. However,Lord Vishnu tricked Ravana into asking Goddess Parvati's hand from lord Shiva instead of Aatma Linga. So, Goddess Parvati then cursed Lord Vishnu that he will also be separated from his wife the next time when he will born as a human.

2. Laxman was also called ''Gudakesh"

Laxman was also called as Gudakesh which translates as "defeated sleep" as he had conquered the humen need for sleep. It is said that Laxman had approached Goddess Nidra - the one who controls the sleep of an individual- to free him of the need to sleep for the exile period. He wanted to be vigilant and take cae of the safety of Ram and Site. So he struck a deal with Nidra devi, Laxman will not sleep at all for 14 years and his part of sleep will be fullfilled by his wife Urmila who stayed back at Ayodhya.

It is said that Urmila slept both his and her part of sleep so that Laxman remains awake protecting Rama and Sita. She woke up when Laxman returned to Ayodhya.

3. The significance of Ravana and Kumbhakarna's birth

Ravana and his brother Kumbhakarna are considered to be incarnations of Jaya and Vijaya, the gatekeepers of Lord Vishnu's world. It is said that due to their disrespectful behaviour, they were not allowed to enter in Lord Vishnu's world and were also cursed by Bramha's son kumaras to be born on earth. Jaya Vijaya then pleaded Lord Vishnu to resolve the problem. Lord Vishnu then gave them two options, either to be born as his devotees for 7 life cycles or as his enemies for 3 life cycles, out of which they choosen to born as his enemies for 3 life cycles, as it would be 4 lesser years away from their Lord Vishnu.

4. The ever sleeping kumbhakarna:

Kumbhakarna was considered pious, intelligent and brave that Indra was jealous of him. Along with his brothers Ravana and Vibhishana, he also performed a major yagya and penance for lord Bramha. When the time came for asking a boon (blessing) from Bramha, on Indra's request his tongue was tied by Goddess Saraswati. So instead of asking Indraasana (seat of Indra) he asked Nidraasana (bed of sleeping).

5. Devi Sita was never abducted by Ravana. (Story of Maya/chaya Sita)

Maya/Chaya sita does not appear in the Valmiki Ramayana. In the original Valmiki Ramayana, Ravana kidnapped Sita but not a shadow. The maya sita comes from Skanda Purana. In Venkatachala Mahatmya of Vaishnava Kanda, Vishnu describes the events happened in the Treta Yuga. 

When Sri Ram went away to kill Maricha, Laxman followed him on being urged by Sita. In the meantime the king of Rakshasas came there to abduct Sita. The fire-god (Agnidev) present there knowing the attempt of Ravana creates Maya Sita, who takes Sita's place. He took the real Sita to Patala and entrusted her to (his wife) Svaha. There was a splendid lady(maya Sita) named Vedavati. Formerly, she was touched by the same Rakshasa (but not molested). Yet she cast off her body in fire. In order to kill Ravana she was created once again (as maya Sita). It was she who was abducted by Ravana and kept in custody in Lanka. Afterwards when Ravana was killed, she entered fire once again. Agnidev handed over real Sita, who had been kept in protective custody by Svaha and told Sri Ram about the attendant accompanying Sita.

6. Why did Ram punish Laxman?

It is mentioned in the Ramayana that Shri Rama had given the death penalty to his younger brother Laxman, but do you why Lord Rama had given death sentence to Laxman? 

This incident is about the time when Sri Ram returned to Ayodhya after Lanka victory and became the king of Ayodhya. 

One day Yama Devta came to see Sri Rama and to discuss something important. Before starting the discussion he asked Lord Rama to promise him that nobody disrupts this conversation until it is over otherwise he has to give death penalty to that person.

Ram appointed Laxman as the gatekeeper so that no can disrupt the conversation.

Laxman stands as the gatekeeper. After a short time, Durvasa rishi visited the place and asked Lakshmana to inform Ram about his arrival, Lakshmana humbly denied.

After this, rishi Durvasa got angry on him and he said he will curse the entire Ayodhya. To save Ayodhya, Laxman decided to sacrifice himself. He went inside to inform Lord Ram about his arrival

Now Shri Rama got confused because he had to give death penalty to Lakshman according to his promise. In the event of this dilemma, Shri Ram remembered his Guru Vasishta and asked him to show the other way. 

Guru Vasishta, you can leave Laxman and it is same as giving the death penalty. Laxman after listening to this told that he can't stay away from his brother for his whole life. Laxman decided to embrace death by obeying his brother’s word. After that, Lakshman took water samadhi.

ORGANIC FARMING

History of Organic Farming

The concepts of organic agriculture were developed in the early 1900s by Sir Albert Howard, F.H. King, Rudolf Steiner, and others who believed that the use of animal manures (often made into compost), cover crops, crop rotation, and biologically based pest controls resulted in a better farming system. Howard, having worked in India as an agricultural researcher, gained much inspiration from the traditional and sustainable farming practices he encountered there and advocated for their adoption in the West. Such practices were further promoted by various advocates—such as J.I. Rodale and his son Robert, in the 1940s and onward, who published Organic Gardening and Farming magazine and a number of texts on organic farming. The demand for organic food was stimulated in the 1960s by the publication of Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson, which documented the extent of environmental damage caused by insecticides.

Organic food sales increased steadily from the late 20th century. Greater environmental awareness, coupled with concerns over the health impacts of pesticide residues and consumption of genetically modified (GMO) crops, fostered the growth of the organic sector.

What is an Organic Farming?

Organic farming is a method of crop and livestock production that involves much more than choosing not to use pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics and growth hormones.

Organic production is a holistic system designed to optimize the productivity and fitness of diverse communities within the agro-ecosystem, including soil organisms, plants, livestock and people. The principal goal of organic production is to develop enterprises that are sustainable and harmonious with the environment.

Organic farming promotes the use of crop rotations and cover crops, and encourages balanced host/predator relationships. Organic residues and nutrients produced on the farm are recycled back to the soil. Cover crops and composted manure are used to maintain soil organic matter and fertility. Preventative insect and disease control methods are practiced, including crop rotation, improved genetics and resistant varieties. Integrated pest and weed management, and soil conservation systems are valuable tools on an organic farm. Organically approved pesticides include "natural" or other pest management products included in the Permitted Substances List (PSL) of the organic standards. The Permitted Substances List identifies substances permitted for use as a pesticides in organic agriculture. All grains, forages and protein supplements fed to livestock must be organically grown.

The organic standards generally prohibit products of genetic engineering and animal cloning, synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, synthetic drugs, synthetic food processing aids and ingredients, and ionizing radiation. Prohibited products and practices must not be used on certified organic farms for at least three years prior to harvest of the certified organic products. Livestock must be raised organically and fed 100 per cent organic feed ingredients.

Organic farming presents many challenges. Some crops are more challenging than others to grow organically; however, nearly every commodity can be produced organically.

Key Features of Organic Farming

• protect the environment, minimize soil degradation and erosion, decrease pollution, optimize biological productivity and promote a sound state of health

• maintain long-term soil fertility by optimizing conditions for biological activity within the soil

• maintain biological diversity within the system

• recycle materials and resources to the greatest extent possible within the enterprise

• provide attentive care that promotes the health and meets the behavioural needs of livestock

• prepare organic products, emphasizing careful processing, and handling methods in order to maintain the organic integrity and vital qualities of the products at all stages of production

• rely on renewable resources in locally organized agricultural systems

Benefits of Organic Farming

1. To Accrue the Benefits of Nutrients

Foods from organic farms are loaded with nutrients such as vitamins, enzymes, minerals and other micro-nutrients compared to those from conventional farms. This is because organic farms are managed and nourished using sustainable practices. In fact, some past researchers collected and tested vegetables, fruits, and grains from both organic farms and conventional farms.

The conclusion was that food items from organic farms had way more nutrients than those sourced from commercial or conventional farms. The study went further to substantiate that five servings of these fruits and vegetables from organic farms offered sufficient allowance of vitamin C. However, the same quantity of fruits and vegetables did not offer the same sufficient allowance.

2. Stay Away From GMOs

Statistics show that genetically modified foods (GMOs) are contaminating natural foods sources at real scary pace, manifesting grave effects beyond our comprehension. What makes them a great threat is they are not even labeled. So, sticking to organic foods sourced from veritable sources is the only way to mitigate these grave effects of GMOs.

3. Natural and Better Taste

Those that have tasted organically farmed foods would attest to the fact that they have a natural and better taste. The natural and superior taste stems from the well balanced and nourished soil. Organic farmers always prioritize quality over quantity.

4. Direct Support to Farming

Purchasing food items from organic farmers is a surefire investment in a cost-effective future. Conventional farming methods have enjoyed great subsidies and tax cuts from most governments over the past years. This has led to the proliferation of commercially produced foods that have increased dangerous diseases like cancer.

It’s time governments invested in organic farming technologies to mitigates these problems and secure the future. It all starts with you buying food items from known organic sources.

5. To Conserve Agricultural Diversity

These days, it normal to hear news about extinct species and this should be a major concern. In the last century alone, it is approximated that 75 percent of the agricultural diversity of crops has been wiped out. Slanting towards one form of farming is a recipe for disaster in the future. A classic example is a potato. There were different varieties available in the marketplace. Today, only one species of potato dominate.

This is a dangerous situation because if pests knock out the remaining potato specie available today, we will not have potatoes anymore. This is why we need organic farming methods that produce disease and pest-resistant crops to guarantee a sustainable future.

6. To Prevent Antibiotics, Drugs, and Hormones in Animal Products

Commercial dairy and meat are highly susceptible to contamination by dangerous substances. A statistic in an American journal revealed that over 90% of chemicals the population consumes emanate from meat tissue and dairy products.

According to a report by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a vast majority of pesticides are consumed by the population stem from poultry, meat, eggs, fish and dairy product since animals and birds that produce these products sit on top of the food chain.

This means they are fed foods loaded with chemicals and toxins. Drugs, antibiotics, and growth hormones are also injected into these animals and so, are directly transferred to meat and dairy products. Hormone supplementation fed to farmed fish, beef and dairy products contributes mightily to the ingestion of chemicals. These chemicals only come with a lot of complications like genetic problems, cancer risks, growth of tumor and other complications at the outset of puberty.

Types of Organic Farming

Organic farming is divided into two types, namely:

1. Integrated organic farming
2. Pure organic farming

Pure organic farming means avoiding all unnatural chemicals. In this process of farming, all the fertilizer and pesticide are obtained from natural sources such as bone meal or blood meal.

Integrated organic farming includes the integration of pest management and nutrients management to achieve ecological requirements and economic demands.

What came first ? Orange colour or the Fruit🤔

What came first, the orange or…orange? This one is right up there with the chicken vs. the egg. Luckily, though, this one is much more easily solved!

So, the answer is…neither. Well, one did come before the other, but neither was actually the first meaning of the word. The linguistic ancestor to today’s word “orange” was actually first used to describe the tree that the fruit grows on. The word’s roots can be traced all the way back to Sanskrit. In that language, the word nāranga meant “orange tree.” Nāranga evolved into the Persian word nārang and the Arabic word nāranj. If you know Spanish, these old words might look very familiar—the modern Spanish word for “orange” is “naranja.” (You won’t believe that this common word is one of the world’s hardest to translate.)

As the word evolved, it eventually came to mean the fruit, not just the orange tree. Old French adapted the Arabic word nāranj as “pomme d’orenge” (“the fruit from the orange tree”) or just “orange.” Speakers of Middle English adopted the phrase; the Middle English equivalent “pume orange” dates back to the 13th century AD.

The word didn’t come to describe a color until almost 200 years later, making the fruit the clear winner. In 1512, a description of the color using the word “orange” appeared—in a rather strange place. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the use of the word first appeared in…a will. Don’t want to throw out your orange peels? These uses for the fruit rind are surprising. 

So, the only mystery that remains is…how did people describe the color before 1512?

Until 1790, Munnar was a densely forested region that was discovered by the Duke of Wellington. In 1870, a subordinate of Travancore's ruler granted 588 sq km of land on lease to J.D. Munro, who was a Scottish tea planter and a lawyer. A.H. Sharp planted the first sapling of tea at Parvathi, which now comes under the Sevenmallay Estate. In present times, the hill station has more than 50 tea gardens and sprawling estates. Harrison Malayalam, Michael's Tea, Brooke Bond and AVT Tea are some of the well-known tea estates in the region.

Tea in Munnar is grown on its undulating terrain, which appear as if they are covered with a bright green blanket. Sometimes, terraced plantation is also followed in order to prevent soil erosion and to facilitate irrigation.

शिशुओं के बारे में आश्चर्यजनक तथ्य

 

शिशुओं के आंसू नहीं निकलते:

 पानी के नीचे शिशु स्वाभाविक रूप से अपनी सांस रोकते हैं, और यहां तक ​​कि अपनी बाहों और पैरों के बारे में दिखाते हैं। यदि आप अपने बच्चे को तैराकी वर्ग में ले जाते हैं, तो आप इन जन्मजात प्रतिभाओं को कार्रवाई में देखेंगे।

• नवजात शिशु अदूरदर्शी होते हैं: नवजात शिशु अपने चेहरे के सामने 20 सेमी से 30 सेमी (8 से 12 इंच) तक स्पष्ट रूप से देख सकते हैं। बाकी सब कुछ प्रकाश, आकार और आंदोलन का एक धब्बा है ।

• एक कप खून: एक बच्चा शरीर में बिना किसी बैक्टीरिया के पैदा होता है और वह इस शरीर में सिर्फ एक कप खून के साथ पैदा होता है।

  

• वयस्कों की तुलना में अधिक हड्डियां: एक नवजात शिशु के शरीर में 300 हड्डियां कुहास, कुछ हड्डियों के बच्चे कार्टिलेज से बने होते हैं जो उन्हें रेंगने और चलना सीख रहे हैं, जिससे उन्हें हड्डी टूटने का खतरा कम होता है। जैसे-जैसे वे बढ़ते हैं, उन हड्डियों को मिलाकर 206 हड्डियां बनती हैं।

• क्षतिग्रस्त अंग की मरम्मत करता है: गर्भावस्था के दौरान, यदि बच्चा अंग क्षति से पीड़ित है, तो गर्भ में बच्चा क्षतिग्रस्त अंग की मरम्मत के लिए स्टेम सेल भेजता है।

  

• बच्चे सब कुछ मुंह में डालना चाहते हैं: हम सभी इस तथ्य से अवगत हैं। बच्चे सब कुछ अपने मुंह में डालना चाहते हैं। वह आपकी चाबियों को चबाने के लिए बहुत छोटा हो सकता है लेकिन इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि वह नहीं चाहता है। एक फ्रांसीसी शोध ने सुझाव दिया है कि शिशुओं को अपने मुंह में सब कुछ डालने की जन्मजात इच्छा होती है।

• शिशु गर्भ में मूंछें उगाते हैं: जब बच्चा चार महीने का होता है, तो वह एक ऐसी मूंछ बढ़ाता है, जो पूरे शरीर में फैल जाती है। इस बाल को लानुगो कहा जाता है। यह बच्चे के जन्म से पहले गिर जाता है और उनके द्वारा खाया जाता है। पचे हुए बाल इस पहले पोप का हिस्सा बन जाते हैं।

मुझे उम्मीद है कि आपको बच्चों के बारे में ये मजेदार तथ्य पढ़ने में मज़ा आया होगा।

ध्यान (MEDITATION )

 

ध्यान (MEDITATION ), आध्यात्मिक और शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य प्रथाओं के प्राचीन रूपों में से एक है। भारत में उत्पत्ति बहुत पहले से हुई थी। ध्यान का सबसे पुराना लिखित उल्लेख वेदों में 1,500 ईसा पूर्व से है। यही वह समय है जब वेदों ने इसे कागज़ पर बनाया, लेकिन यह समझना चाहिए कि वेदों को कंठस्थ किया गया था और सदियों तक मौखिक परंपरा के रूप में पारित किया गया था, इससे पहले कि वे अंततः लिखे गए।

सहस्राब्दी के मोड़ के आसपास ध्यान वास्तव में मुख्यधारा बनने लगा था - लेकिन कम ही लोग जानते हैं कि यह कला वास्तव में कितनी पुरानी और व्यापक है, और यह दुनिया के विभिन्न हिस्सों में कैसे विकसित हुई।

ध्यान की हिंदू परंपरा में गुफाओं में ध्यान करने वाले योगी, साथ ही वैदिक संस्कृति के ऋषि (ऋषि) दोनों शामिल हैं। यह पृथ्वी पर सबसे पुरानी ध्यान परंपरा है - अभी भी जीवित और संपन्न है।इसमें सैकड़ों वंशावली और तकनीक हैं।

ध्यान पर वैज्ञानिक अध्ययन का पहला संग्रह 1977 में हिमालयन इंटरनेशनल इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ योग साइंस के स्वामी राम के छात्र जेम्स फन्डर बर्क द्वारा बनाया गया था।
ध्यान सरल लगता है। लेकिन शरीर और मस्तिष्क में बने रहने के लिए यह अनुशासन लेता है।

आज की तारीख में लोग अपने पेशेवर जीवन में इतने व्यस्त हैं कि हर एक तनावपूर्ण जीवन जी रहा है। इस तनावपूर्ण जीवन में स्वस्थ रहने के लिए ध्यान बहुत महत्वपूर्ण हो गया है।

ध्यान के लाभ

KNOW MORE ABOUT VACCINE

WHAT IS VACCINE ? WHAT IT CONTAINS ?AND HOW IT WORKS?

 

A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and to further recognize and destroy any of the microorganisms associated with that agent that it may encounter in the future.

In simple words, A vaccine is a type of medicine that trains the body’s immune system so that it can fight a disease it has not come into contact with before. Vaccines are designed to prevent disease, rather than treat a disease once you have caught it.

Vaccines contain the same germs that cause disease. (For example, measles vaccine contains measles virus, and Hib vaccine contains Hib bacteria.) But they have been either killed or weakened to the point that they don’t make you sick. Some vaccines contain only a part of the disease germ.

A vaccine stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies, exactly like it would if you were exposed to the disease. After getting vaccinated, you develop immunity to that disease, without having to get the disease first. This is what makes vaccines such powerful medicine. Unlike most medicines, which treat or cure diseases, vaccines prevent them.

VACCINE DEVELOPMENT 

Vaccines are made by taking viruses or bacteria and weakening them so that they can’t reproduce (or replicate) themselves very well or so that they can’t replicate at all. Children given vaccines are exposed to enough of the virus or bacteria to develop immunity, but not enough to make them sick. There are four ways that viruses and bacteria are weakened to make vaccines:

1. Change the virus blueprint (or genes) so that the virus replicates poorly. This is how the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccines are made. The virus blueprint is changed by a technique called cell culture adaptation [adapting a virus to grow in specialized cells grown in the lab instead of the cells it normally grows in]. Because viruses can still, to some extent, make copies of themselves after cell culture adaptation (and therefore are still alive), they are often referred to as live, attenuated (or weakened) viruses.

2.Destroy the virus blueprint (or genes) so that the virus can’t replicate at all. This is how the “killed” polio vaccine (or polio shot) is made. Vaccine virus is made by treating polio virus with the chemical formaldehyde. This treatment permanently destroys the polio genes so that the virus can no longer replicate.

3. Use only a part of the virus or bacteria. This is how the Hib, hepatitis B, and (in part) pertussis vaccines are made. Because the viral or bacterial genes are not present in the vaccine, the viruses or bacteria can’t replicate.

4. Take the toxin that is released from the bacteria, purify it, and kill it so it can’t do any harm. Some bacteria cause disease not by replicating but by manufacturing harmful proteins called toxins. For example, bacteria like diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) all cause disease by producing toxins. To make vaccines against these bacteria, toxins are purified and killed with chemicals (such as formaldehyde). Again, because bacterial genes are not part of the vaccine, bacteria can’t replicate.

VACCINE TESTING AND APPROVAL

Vaccines are tested before they’re recommended for use

Before a vaccine is ever recommended for use, it’s tested in labs. This process can take several years. FDA uses the information from these tests to decide whether to test the vaccine with people.

During a clinical trial, a vaccine is tested on people who volunteer to get vaccinated. Clinical trials start with 20 to 100 volunteers, but eventually include thousands of volunteers. These tests take several years and answer important questions like:

• Is the vaccine safe?
• What dose (amount) works best?
• How does the immune system react to it?

Throughout the process, FDA works closely with the company producing the vaccine to evaluate the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness. All safety concerns must be addressed before FDA licenses a vaccine.

Every batch of vaccines is tested for quality and safety

Once a vaccine is approved, it continues to be tested. The company that makes the vaccine tests batches to make sure the vaccine is:

1. Potent (It works like it’s supposed to)

2. Pure (Certain ingredients used during production have been removed)

Sterile (It doesn’t have any outside germs)

FDA reviews the results of these tests and inspects the factories where the vaccine is made. This helps make sure the vaccines meet standards for both quality and safety.

Vaccines are monitored after they’re recommended to the public

Once a vaccine is licensed and recommended for use, FDA, CDC, and other federal agencies continue to monitor its safety.

Interesting Motivational Story

Hello My Dear Friends ! Today I want to tell u small motivational story.

This story belongs to a small family, husband (Rakesh) , wife (Sunita) and their only son (Neel). Neel (son) was a very brave boy.

He won many prizes in his school, he was topper in studies also. 

Rakesh (father) was a hardworker and he was always been appreciated by his superiors for his outstanding work.

Unfortunatly Rakesh lost his job because of his company's bad condition.

Now he was worried about his family expenses, loans , kid's school fee etc. He contacted his friends and somehow he managed to get a good job and shifted to another city along with his family. 

 

Rakesh and his wife together decorate their surrey in their new house.

Suddenly they notices that their son Neel is depressed sitting in a corner. His mother Sunita goes to him and asks "what happened son why are you sitting sad" son said, mother ! we suddenly shifted to another city in the middle of academic year, its already november , I am not sure if I will get admission in school here right now. I have been studying in that school for so many years that it has become a habit. I do not know whether I will be able to study properly in the new school, whether I will be able to score good marks or not. Sunita tries to convince Neel but he was not in the position to understand. When Rakesh comes to know about Neel's thinking he is very sad. He thought it is necessary to change Neel's thinking.

It was evening, Rakesh burnt coal in the stove and both Rakesh and Neel sat near the stove as was winter. After a while Rakesh said to Neel, Look son, the stove has cracked, go inside and get a new stove from the storeroom, Neel went and brought the stove.

Rakesh told Neel to put these burning coals one by one into the new stove and take care that not a single coal has fallen into the soil or else the coal will be extinguished. Neel started putting sparks one by one into the new stove. A spark from Neel's hand slipped and fell into the mud. Neel said, father this coal has been extinguished, what to do now?

Rakesh said, no matter son, you just keep watching what I do, and Rakesh picked up that coal and put the coal into the new stove, and soon the coal started burning again.

Rakesh said to Neel, son, did you just notice what I did? Did you understand anything? Neel said no Dad I don't understand.

Rakesh said, son you are also like this coal. Whether you put this coal in any stove, it will burn, this is the nature of coal. Your nature is to read well. Regardless of school, it is important to do your studies well without losing your nature. So, do not be sad to think of all these things and concentrate on your studies. We have a very good school near by and you have got admission in it.

Neel becomes happy to hear this. Neel started feeling confident that no matter what the school is, I can study well and can be topper also. After that Neel starts going to new school and they all start living happily.

So friends, I want to tell you just two things from this little story, the first is that you are also like a coal which may have fallen a stove today, but tomorrow you will definitely find a place in another stove. And the second is that, here is the stove which is changing, neither you nor your prudence, nor your power has changed. So friends, there is no need to be impatient by thinking more about this situation.

An important lesson in this story is that Rakesh did not loss his patience even during his difficult times, he himself grew patience, he taught his son to accept the changes in life and face difficulties. You too must be patient in your difficult circumstances, because being patient is the most important thing in this situation.

I hope this story can help to bring small change in your life.
