Where Does True Wealth Reside?


A miser in France did not even marry for fear that he might have to share his money with his family. He had a secret cellar in his house to store all his treasure. 

He would go up there regularly every night, admire all his treasures, and come out. He would save every single penny to add to his treasure. 

Once, he wasn’t seen around for many days, and soon the days turned into months and word of his mysterious disappearance spread all over the town. 

Since there was no one to claim his property and house, it was finally legally taken over by the Government and then sold off to someone. 

After a long time, the new owner found the cellar while building an extension in the house and to his surprise, found…


QUESTIONS


1. What did the new owner find in there?

2. What ist the implications of this story?


ANSWERS


1. He found the miser’s rotting corpse amid the glittering gold and jewels.

In his mouth was a candle piece. This would mean that he might have tried to appease his hunger by even trying to eat the candle.

2. Merely collecting and accumulating large amounts of money does not make one wealthy. Greed only leads to misery. True wealth lies in what you are and not in what you have

       

What Is The True Nature Of God?


The Master of the monastery was often amused by the preconceived notions that people had about God. He never ceased to attack the notions about God that people entertained and believed to be real.

 People often claimed that it was God who got them out of trouble and that it was He who made their life and destiny. The Master would always say, If your God comes to your rescue and gets you out of trouble, then it’s time you started searching for the true God.


QUESTION


1. What is the implication of this story?


ANSWER


1. You are responsible for your own actions, destiny, and life. No one else can influence it any further. Take responsibility for your own life and do not expect anyone to help you in this process. Requesting God to help in all your ventures is a ridiculous idea.

The Exalted Love Of a Mother


The American explorer William Kirdy was returning from an expedition. When he reached Hudson Bay, he met a Red Indian woman lying on the ground exhausted, covered in blood and wounds. The explorer had her wounds bandaged and took care of her and then asked her about herself.

The woman was hundreds of miles away from her tribe. Her tribe was at war with another one and she had had to emigrate. She later became exhausted and had to remain behind with her son.

How about the wounds? asked the explorer. No doubt, you were wounded in the war?

Oh, no, she smiled faintly. These wounds are self-inflicted. She looked at a fishhook beside her. “Just before you came, I took this flesh from my arm to fix it in the fishhook.”

The explorer was incredulous, but the woman continued her story.

QUESTION


1. What did she further say?

2. What is the implication of this story?

ANSWERS


1. I have been hungry for the past three days. My breast is completely dried-up and the baby is about to die. 

What could I do? 

I tore some flesh from my body and put it on the fishhook to try to catch some fish so that I could nurse my child again.

2. All mothers are like the one in our story. 

They go to any extent for the sake of their children. 

The sacrifices that mothers make, can never be compensated even if we serve them
our entire life.
