What you gave is your only investment
What one gives to others is the only thing he gets. There
is a famous sarcastic saying about misers which goes like this: "A miser
is a greater donor than a generous giver ! Well, the reason is that a generous
giver will give away his things to others and may be uses a little portion of
his money, whereas a miser guards his money his entire life and without he
enjoying any bit of it, people take it away after he dies :)". A person
who does not help others cannot be helped even by the God.
Once
there used to live a great miser, who never gave anything to anyone. He
obviously reached hell and was given huge unbearable punishments. He used to
lament very much for his poor state and beg God everyday to save him from the
hell. God, as usual, took pity on the poor state of the miser and wanted to
somehow find a way of helping him. But even with a lot of effort, a few
meetings with Chitragupta, finds nothing which the miser gave to anybody in
order that God can give him something. Finally God managed to find a tiny piece
of good that the miser did in some of his births:
The
miser once, somehow, gave a small piece of spoiled banana to somebody. God,
seeing it as an opportunity to help the lamenting miser in hell, made a stick
appear before him — with which he could climb out of hell. The miser very happy
to have received the fortune, quickly began climbing the stick. Other people in
the hell, who were also longing to get out of hell, tried to use the stick to
get out. The miser started pushing down all the other people and was saying
that "the stick was provided for me by God, and you cannot use it".
Immediately the stick disappeared and the miser was back in the hell.
The Man Who Loved Bread
A
man eating in a restaurant called the waiter and complained that he had been
given only one loaf with his meat dish.
"I
like lots of bread," said the man. "Remember that next time."
The
next time he came the waiter served him three loaves. "This is better than
the last time," said the man. "But I would have liked more
bread."
The
next time he came the waiter served him five loaves but sill the man seemed unhappy.
Later the waiter told the cook about the man. The cook said he would see to it
that the man was fully satisfied the next time he came.
Two
days later the man came again. The waiter alerted the cook who alerted the
bakery with whom he had placed an order for a loaf 2ft wide, 3ft thick and 6ft
long. The bakery delivered the loaf to the restaurant, and the cook and the
waiter triumphantly carried the loaf to the customer.
The
customer stared at the loaf in disbelief.
"This
is the last time I'm coming here!" he announced getting up angrily from
his chair and throwing his napkin on the table. "I keep telling you I want
more bread and here you are once again serving me just one loaf!"
