Thy Imagination vs Yourself

story by Rav Maniti

Week #3

There was a man with a strong imagination—so strong that he could imagine anything and everything he wanted. His mind was capable of creating worlds in detail. He could even live in his own house blindfolded, relying on the imagination he has on his mind. He claimed that if he knew every detail of something, he could recreate it perfectly in his imagination. Then, one fateful day, while he was asleep in his room, his house caught fire. He tried to imagine his way out, but to his surprise, he couldn't. He couldn’t picture his house burning. Panic set in. He closed his eyes and relied on his imagination, but fear held him back—what if he got caught in the flames? He lost hope and just sat in his room. Fortunately, the firefighters arrived in time and rescued him. As he stood outside, watching his burning house, he couldn't stop wondering why he wasn't able to imagine his way out. One of the firefighters looked at him and said, "You didn’t trust yourself—you relied solely on your imagination.”

He added, What I'm saying to you right now is just a reminder to let you know that all you need to do is DO, and then he walked away. Then the boy asks again, who is he?

The Speech

No one got up to the stage and asked him. So after exactly 1 minute, he stood up and said, Thank you, and then he left. As he leaves, the teachers tell the students to clap, and they all clap.

Your Purpose

story by Rav Maniti

Week #9

An old man bet on a smart kid with an IQ of 150 that he cannot answer his question. The old man asked, ‘What is your purpose in this life that we are living right now? The kid answers, ‘I don’t understand your question.’ The old man asked again, 'What is your purpose?' The kid answers, maybe to be more intelligent than the others.’ The old man said, Wrong, then he walked away, and the kid said to him, You walk away because I'm smarter than you. Then the old man answers, Yes, you have more knowledge than me, yet I have much more wisdom than you, and I have found my own purpose. If you carry this kind of mindset, you’ll die without ever knowing who you are.

A Warm Hug

story by Rav Maniti

Week #10

A man stood in front of a wishing fountain, holding a coin in his palm. As he threw it into the water, he whispered, “I wish for just a warm hug—one that could shatter the winter in my heart.” He walked away slowly, heading back to his seat in the coffee shop. On the way, a little girl suddenly wrapped her arms around his leg. Surprised, he looked down and realized it was his daughter. Then, his wife stepped forward and hugged him too. In that moment, the burden he had carried for so long melted away. Before they left, he made one last wish, a wish that the warmth of their hugs would never fade away.
