STORY.4


Dont evaluate yourself from others' point of view

Ramu was a troubled young man. Ramu always doubted himself and he often fell victim to others' ill opinions about his actions.
One day an acquaintance of him told him about a saint who has arrived in the villlage and the saint might be able to help him in not getting hurt any more. Ramu walked up to to the saint seeking his wisdom. The saint took a moment and handed over the young man a ring with a stone on it and asked him to find the value of it. 
Ramu was perturbed, nevertheless, he took the ring to a gold smith around the corner. The gold smith told him the estimated value of the ring. Ramu returned to the saint and told the price offered by the gold smith. 
He was then guided by the saint to find its value at a jewellery shop in the town. The Jewellery store offered him a price which was quite higher than what he was offered by the gold smith. Ramu returned to the saint with the quote. 
Ramu was then guided by the saint about an expert who evaluates the gold with its purity and age. Here, Ramu was offered a lumpsum for the same ring. Ramu rushed to the saint with that figure. 
The saint now told the young man about a diamond merchant who is in the town and sent Ramu to evaluate the ring. On seeing the ring, the merchant said he stands no chance to fix a price for the ring for the stone it has is so worthy and rare!
The young man now impatiently returned to the saint and asked him how the value of the ring can help him in his concern. 
The wise man said " The price of the ring varied from person to person depending on how he looked at it and how he evaluated it, although, the ring remained the same at all circumstances. The same goes for the opinion of people about you. Never doubt yourself;  for the right person you are worthy of everything.
