Who Won?
Hey there,
It has been a very long time since I posted here. Well, I am happy to resume blogging and here I am with a quick short story.
There was a farmer who had 4 sons. All the 4 sons were very dear to him but they all differed from each other in attitude, behavior and mannerisms. When this farmer got very old, sick and bed ridden he had thoughts on how he could wisely choose a successor for his family. After a lot of thought process he came to a conclusion. He called all the four sons to him and handed over a few grains to each of them and said "My dears! This is probably the last responsibility that I am handing over to you. Just take care of these grains". He then asked all of them to return after 6 months.
All the four son's collected their grains and went back to their respective places. The first son was bored during the journey back home and he just gulped those raw grains in to his mouth without any thought or regret. The second one happened to cook the grains right away and eat it along with his family. The third one was very devoted to his father, He adores his father and hence he placed those grains in the altar and started to worship them every day as a part of his daily routine. However the last son had a different thought process and he ended up harvesting those grains.
After six months when all the sons gathered at father's place, the fourth son was the only one who did not come empty handed. He returned with 100 sacks of wheat. Needless to say, the father farmer chose the fourth son as his successor.
Life also gifts us with a handful of blessings sometimes in disguise and many a times as is. We often end up misusing the bountiful gifts of life and the gift - life itself. But what is really expected of us is that we multiply what we receive and also be in a position to stay as bountiful as possible. Because, when you are bountiful, it is only then you will have enough to help others too.
Remember that life is all about growing and also about helping others to grow. So it's high time we harvest our knowledge, our blessings, and help each other. Have a happy weekend. What are your thoughts on this? What are the things in life that we can start harvesting right away (apart from money of course 😉), do share your thoughts and views. Thank you for sparing your time to go through this article. Happy harvesting. 😇
