MY SHIP; "HAS THE WATER ENTERED MY SHIP?"
There are many of us who are really so engrossed with our professional material lives that we neglect our families, health, social and most important spiritual responsibilities.
If asked why we do this, we reply, " We are doing it for our family."
Yet, our kids are sleeping while we leave home. They are sleeping while we come back home. Twenty years later, we will turn back and they will be all gone to pursue their own dreams and their own lives.
Without water, a ship can not move. A ship needs water, but if the water gets into the ship, the ship will face existential problems. What was once a means of moving for the ship will become a means of distruction.
Similarly, we live in a time when earning is a necessity, but let not the earning enter into our hearts, for what was once a means of living will become a means of distruction for us as well,
So take a moment and ask yourself.."Has the water entered my ship?"
