 Worth One Rupee

Worth one Rupee!!

Thanks to Ranjan Jain 

A man went out of his village and came back after ten years. He advertised himself, "I have become successful in yoga practice." So naturally villagers surrounded him. "Oh! Really! What yoga practice you have learnt?" they asked him.

"I can walk on the water," he replied. "Oh? Let us see this!" So a big arrangement was made that he'll walk across the river. Then he walked over the water, and crossed the river.

Then one old man came and said, "Sir, what you did was very wonderful, but it’s worth one rupee only."
"Why?" the so-called yogi asked.

The great feat which you display after arduous practice of 10 years is available to me just for 1 rupee. Now you will walk to the other side of the river. I will just take a boat for one rupee and cross the river. I'll do the same thing, so what is your credit? What’s the special benefit that you have derived by spending ten years of time?"

So, those who are actually intelligent, they will see the things in right perspective. What’s the use of spending so much time and effort on something which is temporary and transient? We shouldn’t put our efforts in getting things to show off, but should go for something which will come handy when we embark our final journey!

Let’s go for the real happiness, not for the itch, which is pleasant during the course of itching, but later gives immense burning sensation!

We often spend time in struggling to show what we can get...or what we have achieved .or what we can doing..just to catch the attention of people...to prove ourselves.......true happiness is in humbly enjoying the satisfaction in doing our work..if its really worthwhile....it will really be able to catch worthwhile attention... we need not put an extra effort to draw people' attention ... coz effective & efficient work anyways will do that ....So lets do that which we enjoy the most and have fun instead of doing something JUST to impress someone or to show off!!

Great invaluable thoughts. Man tends to be decieved by the transient illusory happiness found in day to day life and forgets the true fountainhead of all permanent pleasure, God. Great post.
