donkeys hospitality

It was a long time ago that only donkeys lived in a forest. Lived freely, ate, drank and had fun. For the donkeys, it was like a paradise like a forest.

The donkeys asked curiously – “Sister, what happened, tell me the matter.”! The fox said, “I have come after hearing my ears and seeing my eyes, the fish of the lake of the forest have formed an army and they are about to attack you. How will it be possible for you to stay in front of them?” That’s why I am so worried for you!!!

The donkeys were confused. He thought what is the use of wasting life in vain. Let’s go somewhere else. All the donkeys left the forest and started towards the village. Only one thing was going on in everyone’s mind that before the fish attack us, it is better to get out as far as possible. And all of them were also thanking the fox, that if he had not told, then it would have been difficult for us to escape.

When all these donkeys started reaching towards the village, the washermen first noticed them. Seeing this frightened donkeys, the washerman of the village gave him a lot of hospitality. The donkeys narrated their entire ordeal to the washermen.

The washermen gave shelter to the donkeys in their shed and tied them with a rope around their neck and said – “There is no need to be afraid at all. I will suffer from that evil fish. You live fearlessly in my enclosure, just carry the burden of my clothes.”

review before react

There lived a doctor in a city. His behavior was very efficient and courteous, that’s why he also got a lot of respect in that whole area. He used to treat patients in his medical ashram itself.

Once a Seth approached the doctor to show his child. After seeing the child, the Vaidya gave a medicine and wrote the next medicine on the part.

Seth asked Vaidya, what fee would he have to pay? Vaidya said, you give me 100 gold Asharfi. This was heard by another patient sitting nearby, who was very poor. He thought that how will I be able to pay such a fee? Thinking this, he got up quietly and started leaving. When Vaidya asked him, he told everything. Vaidya said, you sit here, your treatment will be free, when you get well then serve others in ashram size.

Hearing this, Seth got angry in his heart and said to Vaidya, Vaidya, you are a very poor person, you got greedy after seeing my money and asked me for such a huge amount, while you treated it for free. Well, I didn’t expect that from you. Vaidya smiled and said, no Seth ji, it is not like that, in fact, to run my ashram, I need two things – money and service, whatever the person has, I ask for that.

If you have money then I will take money from you and this person does not have money, that’s why after recovering he will provide his service in my ashram, Seth ji was stunned after listening to Vaidya ji.

He said to Vaidya, forgive me Vaidya, I had reached some wrong conclusion without understanding your meaning. I had forgotten that if something like you expressed is doing, there must be a special reason for it.

Saying this, Seth placed 100 gold Asharfi on Vaidya’s palm and smiled and walked towards his house. If we want peace and progress in our life, then we must review it once before reacting to the decision of others.

Give understanding to the foolish, not a boon

A king went for a forest tour, but after some time he forgot the way and got lost in the forest. After wandering for a long time, he was very tired, yet he continued to walk despite suffering from hunger and thirst. While walking he saw a forest dweller’s hut, and he reached there.

There he received hospitality and thus saved the life of the king. When everything seemed fine, the king took off from there and while walking, the king said to the forest dweller- “We are the rulers of this kingdom. Impressed by your kindness, the city’s sandalwood gardens provide you. This will make your life happy.”

In this way, that forest dweller got the valuable sandalwood garden. Not knowing the importance of sandalwood and how it can be taken advantage of, the forest dweller started cutting sandalwood trees and selling them in the city by making coal. In this way, somehow the arrangement for his sustenance started going on.

Since there was very little income from that charcoal, so gradually he sold almost all the trees by making coal. Now he had only a few trees left. And that is why now he was also worried that if this too will end, then how will he survive.

Incidentally, one day due to heavy rain, he could not turn the wood into coal, so he decided to sell the wood itself. He made a bundle of wood and when he reached the market with it, the people impressed by the aroma paid a heavy price for it.

The forest dweller was surprised and was thinking that till now he made and sold this charcoal, he hardly got any money, whereas from wood he got many times more money.

When he asked the people the reason for this, the people said – “This is sandalwood wood. Very valuable. If you have more wood like this, you can get a great price for it.”

The forest dweller started repenting on his ignorance that he sold such a huge precious sandalwood forest by making coal and selling it for a penny. Every single moment of life is precious, but people waste it for a penny in exchange for lust and cravings. And then all my life keep regretting that I didn’t get the opportunity otherwise I would have done it!

ego of perfection

A father taught sculpture to his son, because he himself used to make idols. After the son had learned some sculpture, now both father and son would go to the market to make and sell the idols and sell their idols.

The father’s idol was sold for one and a half to two rupees, but the son’s idol would not have fetched more than eight to ten annas. On his return from the market, the father would make the son sit beside him and explain the errors in his idols and the next day to rectify them. The boy was intelligent, he listened carefully to his father and kept trying to improve his art.

After some time the idols of the boy also started selling for one and a half rupees. A lot of time had passed, but the Father would still explain in the same way and draw his attention to the defects in the idols. If the son paid more attention, then the art also flourished more. The idols now started selling for five rupees each. Even then the Father did not stop the process of explaining for improvement.

One day the son said annoyed – “You don’t stop talking about finding fault. My art is better than yours now, I get five rupees while you only get two rupees.

The father said – ‘Son! When I was your age, I became proud of the perfection of my art and then stopped thinking of improvement. Since then my progress stalled and could not make idols worth more than two rupees. I want you not to make that mistake. Always continue the process of understanding and correcting your errors so that you can reach the rank of the best artists who make valuable sculptures.

thanks back

Lord Buddha while traveling once reached the house of a Brahmin. It was night and Buddha wanted to stay there. When the brahmin came to know that he was a Buddha, he abused his heart, said abusive words and asked him to leave immediately.

Buddha listened for a long time. When the brahmin stopped speaking, he asked – ‘O dear fellow! If you have any guests coming here, you will welcome them with beautiful food and sweets. What doubt in this – the Brahmin replied. And if for some reason the guest does not accept it, then you will throw those dishes.

“Why throw, we ourselves would have taken” – he answered confidently. “So we don’t accept this gift of your abuses, take your own thing.” Saying this the Buddha smiled and left from there.

gentleman’s search

A king needed a servant. Three candidates were presented to him by his ministers. The emperor asked the three candidates- “If my beard and your beard catch fire together, who will you put out first?!!

One said, I will extinguish you first. The other said, I will extinguish mine first. The third said, I will extinguish myself with one hand and yours with the other.

The emperor appointed a third man and told the courtiers – ‘He who does good to others by neglecting himself is impractical. The one who considers selfishness to be paramount, he is low, and the one who takes equal care of his own and the well-being of others, he should be called a gentleman. I needed a gentleman, so that third man was appointed.”

Small mistake, big side effect

Madhuparka, the king of Kalang country, was once eating. A little honey dripped from his cup and fell on the ground. He had just extended his hand to clear it that thought came in his mind that hey! Why should I clean, I am the king. The servant will come and clean it.

The servant came, but his attention did not go towards him and he left without cleaning it. It happened that flies came to lick that honey. Seeing the flies gathered, the lizard was tempted and came to eat them. The cat reached to kill the lizard, which lived in the palace itself.

It was not only that the dogs roaming in the garden outside the palace somehow came there and two or three dogs broke on the cat. The cat somehow ran away but the dogs got injured after fighting amongst themselves.

When the owner of the dog came to know about this, he reached there. Dog owners tended to support their dog’s side and blame the other. A fight broke out over this. In the battle, the crowd on both sides increased and finally the whole city was in turmoil. When the rioters got a chance, looted the government treasury and set the palace on fire.

When all this calmed down and the king asked the reason for such a big disturbance, the minister inquired and told that only a little honey spilled by you inadvertently caused such a big riot. Then the king understood that even a small carelessness can create a big problem for a human being.
