Selflessness will be repaid in full

Once there lived a young man, who served as a servant at a rich-man's mansion. The young man could barely manage his daily meals. Every night as he returned from work, he cooked for himself and then he showered, and every time he made 4 rotis. 
In the recent days, every night when he returned after shower he found 1 roti missing. The young man decided to find who the culprit was. He cooked his rotis and instead of going for a shower he waited. Then he saw a rat sneaking into the kitchen and stealing a roti. The young man caught hold of the mouse and asked the rat why he was stealing his food. The rat replied that itcouldnt help it, as he had no other means of food. 
The man told the rat that it is very unfair as he manages himself in very low condition. The rat pleaded that this was its only meal and that it is essential for its survival, and  advised the man that if he was in trouble so much, he should go and meet Gautham Buddha. The young man gave it a thought and decided to go and meet Buddha. 
The man set off to meet Buddha. It was a journey of 7-8 days. The man after walking for long, felt tired and found a sojourn in a small hut where an old lady and her grand daughter lived. The man told the old lady about his journey's purpose. The lady allowed him a resting place and in return she asked the man for a favor. The grand daughter of the lady was dumb and she wanted to know when the girl will speak and asked the man to ask Buddha about it. The man agreed and the next morning he continued his journey. He had to cross a mountain to continue his journey, upon reaching the top of the mountain he met a magician who was longing to go to heaven. 
The magician had been waiting for a 1000 years now. The magician said he will help the young man cross the mountain but in return he wanted the man to ask Buddha about when will the magician be able to go to heaven. The young man agreed and the magician with his magic wand helped the man. The young man continued his journey. He reached a large lake and now he had to cross it. There he found a giant lake turtle. He sought help from the turtle to cross the lake and he also told the turtle about his journey's purpose. The turtle agreed to help him and in return the turtle asked the man a favor. The turtle was in the lake for the past 500 years and it had the desire to be a dragon, so the turtle wanted to know if it will ever be able to be one. The man agreed to the turtle and it helped him cross the river. 
The man finally reached Gautham Buddha's ashram. Buddha was addressing the crowd and to the end of his speech the gathering had their opportunity to ask questions. Before Buddha answered the questions he said each person can ask only three questions. The young man was confused for a moment. He already had 3 questions, added to his own question that made it 4, so now he had to skip one question. In no time, he decided his own concern when compared to the others he met, was so irrelevant. 
The young man decided to skip his question and he asked the questions of the other three. Buddha replied to them one after the other. The dumb girl will talk on the next day after her marriage, the magician will go to heaven after he lets go his magic wand off his hand and the turtle will turn to a dragon as soon as it sheds its shell. 
The man went to the turtle and told the same and helped the turtle shed the shell and it became a dragon. To his surprise!! in the shell which it shed, the man found countless number of precious pearls. The turtle asked the young man to take as it had no use of the same. 
The man took the pearls and reached the magician and told him Buddha's answer to his question. So the magician gave his magic wand to the young man and said to use it for his good and the magician disappeared. 
The man moved to the old lady and told her the answer from Buddha. Now the lady requested him to marry her grand daughter, the man agreed and on the next day after their marriage the dumb girl spoke to him in a sweet voice never heard before..

Selfless action will resolve all concerns beyond expectations

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...

Strong roots Sangeetha and her husband were staying in a housing colony. Next doors to them lived an old man. Everyone addressed him as grandpa. One day a man who sold plants was in the colony. Sangeetha and the grandpa bought the same plant and planted it in their yard. Sangeetha had her education in agriculture and knew everything about the plant. Sangeetha watered the plant and used the right fertilizers and pesticides for her plant and she was so prompt with her schedule. After days both the plants were easily distinguishable. Sangeetha's plant was so green and flourished beautifully. Grandpa's plant was barely anything.  One evening, thunder and storm rampaged the area, everyone and everything was affected. The whole night heavy wind blew. The next morning grandpa and Sangeetha came out to check their plants. Sangeetha's plant was totally damaged, even the last strand of root was pulled out of the soil by the wind. Grandpa's plant on the other hand was just bent, n...
