Life is of two moments - live a lifetime

Poultry squirrels used to live in Nandan forest.  The poultry squirrel was very honest and very hardworking.  She used to work with Sher Singh, the king of the jungle, Sher Singh promised to give her 10 sacks of walnuts.  That is why squirrels used to do their work with dedication and hard work.  She used to work a lot too many times to please Sher Singh, she was happy that her boss would give her 10 sack walnuts which she would enjoy and would live comfortably all her life.  Kutkut would come to work on time every day and would come back after doing all the work, many times she used to get tired while working, she would think that she should take some rest but then suddenly she would start working again if the nut was taken care of.  Sometimes, while working, she would see her friends playing squirrels, having fun, even if she would like to play with friends and have fun, but as soon as she remembered the nut, she would start working again in greed.  ...

The price of bright blue stone

Very knowledgeable sadhu Maharaj had come to a city, many humbled, sad and disturbed people started coming to him to get his kindness.  One such sad, poor man came to him and said to Sadhu Maharaj, 'I am very poor in Maharaj, I have a debt too, I am very upset.  Do me some favors'.

 Sadhu Maharaj gave him a bright blue stone, and said that this is a precious stone, go get it as much as you can.  The man left and went to a fruit seller he knew and wanted to know the value of the stone by showing it.  The fruit seller said, 'I think this is a blue glass, the Mahatma has given it to you, yes it looks beautiful and bright, you give it to me, I will give you 1000 rupees.  Frustrated, the man went to another acquaintance who was a pottery merchant.  He showed that stone to the merchant too and wanted to know its value to avoid it.  The merchant of utensils said, 'This stone is a special gem, I will give you 10,000 rupees for it.  The man started thinking that its price would be even higher and he started thinking from there.

 The man now showed this stone to a goldsmith, the goldsmith looked at that stone carefully and said that it is very valuable, I will give you Rs. 1,00,000.

 The man now understood that it was very priceless, he thought why not show it to the diamond merchant, thinking that he went to the biggest diamond merchant in the city. When that diamond merchant saw that stone, he kept looking  Gaya, watchful expressions started appearing on his face.  He applied that stone from the forehead and asked, where did you bring it from.  This is priceless.  Even if I sell my entire property, I cannot pay its price.

 Learn from the story.  Learning From The Story

 How do we rate ourselves?  Are we the ones who form opinions about us?  Your life is priceless, no one can buy your life.  You can do what you think about yourself.  Never underestimate yourself from the negative comments of others.
