An old man, standing at a street corner, was pleading before everyone who passed by. A few stopped to toss some coins at him. However, instead of picking up the coins, he opened his bag and, to their utter surprise, revealed gems and jewels of all sorts, begging them to take a handful. Soon, a crowd gathered around him.
When asked about what compelled him to squander his wealth so recklessly, he said – “Wherever I go, I see the generosity of humanity. Everyone is eager to give away their incredible wealth without a second thought! I am merely trying to do the same.”
The crowd burst into laughter. “Are you crazy? That sounds like foolishness, not generosity. Besides, who are these people with such wealth?”
The old man responded with a solemn smile – “Each one of you has unimaginable wealth – your time, energy, virtues, skills. Don’t you all waste these invaluable assets obsessing over your appearance, hoarding possessions to impress others, and chasing fleeting recognition and praise from those around you?”
A hush fell over the crowd as they reflected on this harsh truth. The jewels in their hands now seemed worthless.
Have you caught yourself wasting your treasure lately?
जय कृपालु प्रभु! श्री गुरु को प्रेम है। आप हमारे लिए अनमोल हैं, आपकी कृपा ऐसे ही हम पर बरसती रहे।
An eye opener in the morning
We really waste our time, energy, virtues and skills
We need to flip and with a sadguru it actually becomes easy and possible
Let’s divert our assets in the right direction
हर व्यक्ति का मन अपने धन की नुमाइश करने में लगा हुआ है। यह सभी जानते हैं कि साथ कुछ नहीं जाने वाला, सब यही रह जाएगा। जय कृपालु।
Yes, when I have no queries in mind. I do my Swaraj Kriya and Satsang with a lot of energy and experience immense happiness. Jai Krupadu, Sri Guru.
Very true really we are wasting our time, health, wealth and energy in useless things. We must live in our Guru’s guidance.
Wow… we all are like such crowd who always think wealth in form of money instead our time, skills, energy etc. is our true wealth and money is just an outcome of it.. What an eye opener thought…. Thank you Sri Guru!!🙏🏻
Actually we’re wasting our precious assets in utter nonsense without even acknowledging it ..
so nicely narrated by Shree guru as an eye opener to channelise our assets in right direction ..
thanks a lot Shree guru 🙏🙏
Yes Prabhu it is true…we don’t want to understand and recognize the value of having this being. Greediness of having everything is actually divert us from collecting our real gems and jewels.That’s creating hindrances to achieve true happiness.But satsang and sadhana play the vital roles which show right way to handle such kind of virtues.
