The Fall of an Apple
person who is not ready to wake up with a simple call.
All the challenges in life are positive challenges. When
you face any challenge, take it in a positive manner, try
to understand the lesson hidden in it.
‘The falling of an apple’ on one’s head is a very
common phenomenon. Every person faces this
experience, although not in the form of an ‘apple’,
but in the form of shock. These experiences are not
accidental, they are part of divine planning. They act
as a booster. If you have this kind of experience, don’t
let your mind get disturbed. Take it as a positive sign.
Try to find out the message behind this event, and very
soon you will find that it was just like the fall of an
apple, the sole purpose of which was to enable you to
discover a great law of human life.
There are numerous people in history who failed
in the first chance. But then they thought about their
problem afresh and consequently achieved great success.
Sometimes people make a wrong choice, then nature
hits them with an apple and gives them a silent lesson:
‘Try to make a better choice!’ Those who listen to this
silent voice of nature are destined to emerge as super-
achievers.
