Parable of Long Spoons

Once there lived a man who used to talk with God daily. While talking like that, he got a doubt about how heaven and hell will be. Straight away, he asked the God about his doubt.

Then God showed him two big doors, one is at the right side and another is at the left side. The right side door was opened. The man saw a big table in the middle and a big pot in the middle of the table. Men were sitting around the table having a big spoon each. They were sad, thin and look like sick. With their spoon, they can even reach the pot which contains the delicious soup. They can able to fill the spoon with the soup but due to big handle they could not get the spoon back into their mouths.


The man asked the God, what is this? God said, “It is Hell.”

Now God opened the left door which is as same as the right. A group of people around a big table having a spoon each and the big pot in the middle of the table. But here the people are looking happy, healthy and strong. The man saw one person took the spoon and filled it with the delicious soup. He feeds the exact opposite person. In the same way, everyone served and everyone had a delicious soup.



God said, “It is Heaven.” Here the people are so happy because they know the happiness in sharing. They are practicing the same while they are on the earth and continuing the same in Heaven.
