| Do you Keep your Asset Wisely?... |
The King had 3 sons. Now all three were educated from the
same guru and the same school, but the king was unable to decide who the best
heir for the state is. Now the king thought to test the three sons.
One day the king called all the sons in the morning and gave
them each sack of wheat and said that I and your mother are going on
pilgrimage. It may take more than a year for us to return. It is the
responsibility of all three of you to keep your share of wheat and when I
return, you have to return this sack. Saying this, the king and queen went on a
pilgrimage.
The eldest son thought that if he wants to return this sack
of wheat to father, then he should lock it in the vault. He will give back when
Dad comes. Thinking this, he kept the sack of wheat in the vault so that not
even a single grain would be there.
The Middle Son thought that the wheat would rot in the
vault. So he should put this wheat in the field, which would lead to a good
crop of wheat and he would be able to give many sacks of wheat instead of one
sack to his father. Now he did not see a good field for wheat nor did he see a
good fertile land, nor did he clear the grass thatch of the field, just put
wheat on such a barren land and never came to take care of them. He felt that
now the crop would come on its own.
The third son was more intelligent. He, along with his
friend, saw a good field which was very fertile, then got his soil replaced,
cleaned the grass there and then sown wheat grains in the field as per law. He
also protected the farm with full dedication and hard work. Manure water on
time gave everything. A year later, the first crop came, he sowed it again and
produced more grain. The farm started threshing.
The king came back after 3 years. It was very happy to see
the three sons, and there was a desire in the mind to know what the sons did
with the wheat. When the first son opened the vault, there was a bad smell from
inside, everything had turned to ashes. The father said that it is food that
keeps all our lives and you could not take care of it, what state you will
handle.
Now the second son took the father to the place where he had
put the wheat. Going there, it was a jungle; a large grass was standing on
thatch. There was no sign of wheat. The king was very angry and refused to make
him the successor of the kingdom.
Now the third son took the father to his fields. Wow! There
was a distinct smell from far away. The wheat crop was swaying. There was
greenery and life all around. And more than 50 sacks of wheat had been produced
from that field and even today the crop was standing again in the field. The
king was very happy to see the king and decided to make the third son the successor
of his kingdom.
Friends, like that king, God has given us some wheat to
keep. They are wheat - our life, which we destroy in useless works. God gave
life to develop the world, you increase knowledge and share it. But we ignorant
people spoil this life and at the end when God asks what did you do in life? So
the answer is zero, nothing. Clean the ground of your mind, remove the grass
that is in it, remove the jealousy, anger and addictions in your mind and sow
it in the midst of goodness. Then God will be very happy with you.
