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.
