Hey guys , how you doing ? Are you having bad day? if yes ,do read this story ! & if no, read it anyway coz it might help you in future.

Life is full of challenges & what keeps us going is hope.

I was doing one course for which I attended few classes, amongst them there was one particular lecture which was free & a nice teacher thought of telling us a story in this free time. Many of you would have heard about this story , but many would not have. That story is still in my heart & it will be here for life.

So here I start ...

Once there was a cleaner doing his work (of cleaning floor) in a temple , he looked in front of god & gave a wired smile, to which god called him near & asked about the reason of smiling. He said, "I was wondering ,you would be so tired standing all day with a smile. I wish I could help you & give you a rest day." God asked "Do you really wish to do that?" , he said yes. To which god replied that it is possible , as I am god, i can do anything , so i will turn you to god and you have to stand here in my position for a day and i will take rest.

The worker agreed and next day God went away for a rest and informed worker to take the position and stay quite for whole day like a rock.

There came a wealthy business man for prayer & he prayed god to help him finalise today's deal and he removed his wallet full of money & donated few in front of god & accidentally he left his wallet there in the temple and went away.

Cleaner wanted to stop him but he could not as he had to be like a rock.

Then there came a poor farmer with a 2 rupee coin and donated praying that he couldn't make money in this week & he is hopeless as he had a family to feed. once he opened his eyes , he noticed a wallet full of money in front of him & he thought it was a Gift from God to solve his problems so he took the wallet & cried out of happy tears and went away.

Again cleaner was helpless and couldn't do anything but observe.

Then came a sailor man , who had his ship journey tonite for 2 months and so he came to pray to God for a safe journey, while he was praying, there came a police & that businessman who lost his wallet in the morning.

They caught the sailor & asked him about the wallet but sailor denied about having any knowledge of the wallet but businessman didn't listen to the sailor & asked police to take him to jail & do a proper enquiry .

Again the cleaner standing in front of them knowing everything could not do anything about it .

At night when cleaner's duty was over he met God. God asked him about how was his day ? To which he replied it was annoying.. he narrated the whole incident & said it was so unfair that we being god could let every bad thing happen in their life. Wish we could help them.

God smiled & said ..

Son, the businessman who visited in morning has done many bad deeds in his life & is a corrupt person, I just wanted him to do some good deeds and so purposely I let him loose his wallet so as to put that money for someone who is in need.

The farmer who came here works very hard all day but is unable to earn sufficient money so i gifted him what he deserved & also the money was put as charity so businessman can have a list of good deeds too..

Then worker said , " but what about the sailor , he was innocent & still he had to go jail & miss his important journey of ship.

To which God replied, "dear, the path that he was taking tonite was certain to have a tsunami & I didn't wanted him to die so I let him go jail, so as to avoid tsunami & plan the sailing on next morning.

Worker was surprised. He was speechless .

Moral:

Good deeds pay off , they are necessary. Try to be nice.

Hardwork will gain you fruit.

& most important - when you are having a bad time, don't blame god, in-fact thank him for not showing you worst time . He is actually saving you from something which was more than bad. Have faith in him. Have hope. You are always blessed. Be thankful.

Some people reading this might think this was a story for kids ,might not believe in god . But guys you have to know there is someone above all of us, be it god / universe / angel anything you name it. Not only kids but all of us has to have faith in the power of universe , the creator. There has to be someone above you to whom you be faithful of walking your life journey together.

Today , Thank that energy to keep you in a healthy stage and sharing this journey with you.

Hope this blog help you in some or the other way :)
