Act with discretion
Once
Lokmanya Tilak had to go abroad for some work. In those days, sea voyage was
considered against religion. Lokmanya thought that it was possible that the
Pandits would find a way out of this. Thinking that he is the chief of Kashi
Met
Mahamahopadhyaya and requested him to show some remedy. Panditji said that the
work is difficult, but if you give five thousand rupees, I will make some
arrangements. By iniquity to the public
Dharsh
didn't think it was worth buying. He traveled without further questioning and
told his companions, “We must respect our own independent discretion without
regard for the understanding or guidance of others. Learned men should
definitely go abroad for the sake of knowledge, regardless of heresy.”
A
friend's duty
Light
thinking corrupts the intellect and makes thinking light. One of the two
childhood friends became rich, but the other remained poor. The poor friend
thought of meeting the rich friend in the name of childhood friendship so as to
get some means of earning and livelihood.
He
went to a friend. A rich friend recognized him, yet asking him as if he did not
know him to avoid him? Who are you, where did you come from, why did you come?
The poor friend immediately understood everything and said that I heard that
one of my dear childhood friends had gone blind! So, out of sympathy, I came to
see you. He turned away without waiting for an answer.
When
wealth comes to a man, he is his well-wishers and friends. He also forgets his
relatives. He did his duty Making excuses as a stranger.
It
is not wrong to hoard tools, but they should not be treated as one's own. That
wealth actually belongs to the society, so that wealth should be put to good
use in the interest of the society. As a human being it is his duty to maintain
friendship and help others when needed.
Jayaprakash-Lokanarayan
In
order to become great, one should gradually learn the qualities within oneself.
Jaiprakash Narayan went to America to study. He had no money to spend there, so
he employed a fruit and hotel owner there and studied together. Several friends
wanted to help him, but he refused. Being self-reliant, he studied doing
ordinary jobs.
It
is because of such qualities that one day he was called Lokanayak Scientist's
Exam Edison became a great scientist. He was very poor, but wanted to become a
scientist from childhood. Ma tried to put a scientist there. Mother did not
have money to teach them. She took Edison to a scientist. The scientist cleans
his laboratory Said to do. Edison scrupulously cleaned and arranged all the
equipment in its proper place.
Seeing that, the scientist said that
this child has the qualities to become a scientist. You put it there for me. He
will surely become a scientist. Cleanliness and order develop a person's
personality. And that's why his mental level is also known.
The
value of preaching
was
a sailor. He was stupid. He used to take passengers across the river in his
boat. After alighting, he would ask them for fare. Due to this, there were many
fights. He was angry. Because of this, he was also beaten. One day a saint sat
in his boat. On the way he told him Zamji-Eng preached two. One is to take the
fare before putting the passengers in the boat and the other is to not get
angry in the conversation. When he landed in front of the saint, he asked for
rent. He said "I have nothing. What I have taught you is very valuable.
Take it as rent.
The
sailor said that I don't want a sermon, but money. The quarrel escalated.
Meanwhile the sailor's wife came with food. He explained that this is Rajguru.
It is not right to quarrel with them. Hence the sailor became more angry and
threw the food into the water 65.
This
news reached the king. He sent soldiers and imprisoned the sailor and seized
his boat. When the saint came to know, he freed him and explained that what he
preached to you will also benefit you financially and save you from other
losses.
Now
the sailor understood the truth. By doing so, he started living happily.
Daridranarayan
Deenbandhu
Andrews was initially a pastor. An Indian monk asked him, "Have you seen
God?" He said, “Yes, I have seen. If you want I can give it to you now
I
can only show you." They took him to a Harijna neighborhood and showed him
to a cleaning worker.
He
was ministering to his son who was suffering from TB disease and emaciated.
Also used to go for cleaning work to earn. Andrews said look, this is God. His
name is Daridranarayan. Did Gandhiji name him 'Deenbandhu'? It is indeed true.
Age
only five years
King
Shatayudha set out to find out the condition of the people. A very emaciated
old man was found in a hut. The king asked him how old are you? The old man
seemed to be a hundred years old, yet he said that I was only five years old.
The
king felt strange. Asked again, got the same answer. The old man said that my
previous life was wasted in animal activities gone Five years ago I realized
the importance of life and since then I started doing charitable works. So my
real life is only five years. The king's mind is settled.!! True life is called
that during which we do something for the welfare of others.
Enlightened
by satsang
One
day a rose plant went to a politician to learn something. The politician taught
him that one should be treated as one does. The policy is to return evil with
evil. If not, the world will destroy your existence.
Gulab
memorized his words. Back home he grew thorns to protect himself. Anyone who
went near it was pricked with thorns.
A
few days later the plant got an opportunity to attend a monk's satsang. The
monk told him that one who spends his life in charity deserves the highest
honor in this world. Hearing this, Gulab gave birth to Pushpa on the very next
day.
Its
fragrance spread far and wide. Whoever stayed there would enjoy its beauty and
fragrance for a while. It becomes the company that a man gets, so one should
always associate with gentlemen.
Hassle
of 'bring' and 'take'
A
Sethji fell into a pit. The pit was not very deep. They started shouting to get
out. A farmer heard his voice. He went to the pit and said Seth bring your
hand, but Seth refused to raise his hand. Another man knew Seth well. He was
wise. He said Sethji, take, hold my hand. I will drag you out. Seth immediately
grabbed her hand And the man pulled them out.
For
the first time the farmer said 'Bring your hand', while the wise man said
'Take, hold my hand'. Sethji understood only taking, not giving. Such people do
not understand what is in their interest even in trouble
