Zen fable : Givers of life

zensharing

A little girl was ill in hospital with a rare blood disorder and was badly in need of a blood donor but a match could not be found. As a last resort, her six year old brother was checked as a match and much to everyones relief, he was.
Both his mother and Doctor sat the little boy down and explained how they would like his blood to help his sister so she would not die.
The little boy waited a few moments then asked if he could think about it.
It wasn’t the reaction the mother or Doctor expected but they agreed……
The following day the little boy sat in front of the Doctor with his mother and said he agreed to give his sister what she needed.
The hospital staff moved quickly for his sister was fading quite fast.
So the little boy could understand what was happening, he was placed in a bed next to his sister and so the transfusion began. Quickly, the colour and life began flooding back into the little girl and every one was over joyed.
The little boy turned to the Doctor and quietly asked, “How long will it be before I die?”

You see, the little boy thought that by giving his blood, he was giving his own life, which is why he took a little time to think about it……….

Interpretation

The fact is when we give love and share whatever we have, God returns it to us manifold. Let us learn from this little boy was ready to even sacrifice his life while we often hesitate even for small things.
