Do not forget timely help offered | bedtime stories
Rishi lived in a village. Rishi is a millionaire. At the same time he is better at giving charity to the poor.
Many people heard of Rishi’s charity and went to him for help. Rishi also went on to do charitable deeds without saying no to those who came looking for him.
As the days passed, Rishi’s assets began to decline as he did all the dharmas. Rishi was careful in doing dharmas without worrying about it.
In a few days all of Rishi ’s assets had gone to others. He even donated his house and land to others.
The people who got help from him did not come forward to do any help even though they saw the plight of Rishi. Rishi lost all the money in his hand and came near an inn with no place to stay.
His eyes darkened, ears closed and staggered so much in a faint of hunger. At that time a few people were sitting and eating in the inn.
Seeing Rishi’s condition, they were careful about eating, as if they knew nothing. Rishi slowly approached the bank of the inn.
He looked at himself and looked pitifully at those who were eating to see if anyone would give them food. At that moment the cook ran fast and chased Rishi away.
“Don’t come to this place anymore,” he shouted uncontrollably and pushed him away. At that moment, the innkeeper saw Rishi.
He immediately ran to catch up and grabbed Rishi. Then he looked at the cook and said, “What are you all doing! This inn was built with his money.
How many times have you ever gone to him for help! He has become a victim of this situation by helping people like you.
But you forget the gratitude without thinking of the help he did and beat him up. Not all of you are human beings.
Even animals live with a sense of gratitude. You do not have that feeling of gratitude! When you wake up in your face, sin will come and surround you.” The innkeeper angrily took Rishi to his house and treated him well.
After Rishi ‘s hunger was quenched, the innkeeper shouted, “Sir! I have previously worked as a guard at a Temple and have noticed you every time you come to the temple.
Then I would be tempted to talk to you about everything. But the occasion was not exactly set. I just had the opportunity to talk to you today.
I’m proud to talk to you.” Rishi smiled and looked at the guard.
“I want to thank you for quenching my hunger. When all those who have received help from me have forgotten me, you who have not received any help from me so far have helped me! I am so happy.
Grateful people are here on this earth. That’s why I think the sky is raining for them,” Rishi said.
Justice: We must live without forgetting the help someone has done for us. Benefit happens when you live with a sense of gratitude.
