Kutty story #61

World moves on without you:

There lived a teacher in a small village. He had a wife, a son who was doing his higher studies and daughter who was ready to get married. He was living a contented life when a thought came to his mind that totally disturbed his peaceful existence. 

He suddenly thought that he was the reason the whole family was happy. He felt that things wouldn’t be the same for them in his absence. This thought bred in him and over a few days turned into an ego in himself.

One day when he was introspecting himself as a teacher he realized that he had become egoistic but it was already late as the ego had got the better of him already. At around the same time, a yogi arrived in the village and coincidentally he was speaking about controlling ones egos and vices. The yogi said that the world remains the same although many have come and left before this and continue to do so. After the talk, the teacher approached the yogi and confesses to him that hes already suffering with ego.

The yogi advised him to go away from the village for about 2 years without telling anybody about his whereabouts. The teacher did the same. He just went home, took some money and left without saying a word. When the entire village was searching for the teacher, the yogi told them that a tiger has killed a villager and he visualizes the dead to be a teacher. Everybody felt upset, the family broke down and were consoled by the other villagers. 

Life goes on…the son finished his studies and got into a government job, the daughter got married to a gentleman with the help of all villagers. The family continued to live normally. The teacher now returned after 2 years to find the house full of happiness. 

This is when he realized it the hard way that life still will go on no matter what.  And that ended his ego.

He apologized to his family and told them all the truth.

Remember, Luck is important in life, so also hardwork. For success you must have good karma which are the true blessings which we get only with good actions.

2.     Mother's Love It was a hot summer day. There was a chemist along with his assistant doing brisk trade under the mid-noon hot sun. The pharmacist noticed an old woman across the road, staring at the shop for a long time. The shopkeeper suggested to the assistant to take care of the customers in the line and he went to check on the old lady.  The chemist crossed the road and approached her and asked her “why you are standing here alone, do you need any help from me”. The lady said she was fine. She had a son who lives in the city with his wife and three children. He and his family came and visited her every summer but this time he called her up last night and said he is going to a hill station with his family so he will not be visiting her this summer. He might come next summer. Saying this, her wrinkled grey eyes shed tears of pain out of a broken heart.  The shopkeeper was muted for a moment and he had no words for her. The mother held h...

STORY.1 It is not necessary that time favours you every time. Sometimes, it teaches a lesson : How to lead a disciplined life through difficulties Once there were two youngsters, one had an office job and the other, being blind, used to beg on the pavement of the office complex where the other worked.  The employee was never appreciated by anyone in his office and so he was demotivated.
