The Poor Man’s Wealth

poorman

Ramchand and Premchand were neighbours. Ramchand was a poor farmer. Premchand was a landlord.

Ramchand used to be very relaxed and happy. He never bothered to close the doors and windows of his house at night. He had deep sound sleeps. Although he had no money he was peaceful.

Premchand used to be very tense always. He was very keen to close the doors and windows of his house at night. He could not sleep well. He was always bothered that someone might break open his safes and steal away his money. He envied the peaceful Ramchand.

One day, Premchand call Ramchand and gave him a boxful of cash saying, “Look my dear friend. I am blessed with plenty of wealth. I find you in poverty. So, take this cash and live in prosperity.”

Ramchand was overwhelmingly happy. He was joyful throughout the day. Night came. Ramchand went to bed as usual. But, to-day, he could not sleep. He went and closed the doors and windows. He still could not sleep. He began to keep on looking at the box of cash. The whole night he was disturbed.

As soon as day broke, Ramchand took the box of cash to Premchand. He gave away the box to Premchand saying, “Dear Friend, I am poor. But, your money took away peace from me. Please bear with me and take back your money.”

Moral: Money can not get everything. Learn to be satisfied with what you have and you will always be happy.

    SINCE YOU HAVE COME TO THIS WORLD YOU NEED TO LEAVE MARK BEHIND, HAPPINESS IS WHAT YOU THINK, IF YOU THINK HAPPY OR THINK UNHAPPY YOU ARE ALWAYS RIGHT BUT FOR THE SERVICE OF MAN WHICH IS ACTUALLY SERVICE OF GOD, BEING SO POOR YOU CAN NOT DO, TO EAT AND SLEEPING PEACEFUL IS NOT ALL.IN ORDER TO DO SOMETHING FOR MANKIND WHATEVER YOU NEED TRY TO SECURE.

    Dear i don’t agree with this story moral b’coz now a days money is every thing for a human being, peace is good for life but if you don’t have money then peace will also stay away from you.

    Dear Don’t think that i not like your story i like it very much but i am sharing my personnel experience.
