There was once a merchant who employed many carpenters and masons to build a temple in his garden.
| 1 |
|
1 |
Regularly, they would start work in the morning, and take a break for the mid-day meals, and return to resume work till evening.
| 1 |
|
2 |
One day, a group of monkeys arrived at the site of the building and watched the workers leaving for their mid-day meals.
| 1 |
|
3 |
One of the carpenters was sawing a huge log of wood.
| 1 |
|
4 |
Since it was only half-done he placed a wedge in between to prevent the log from closing up.
| 1 |
|
5 |
He then went off along with the other workers for his meal.
| 1 |
|
6 |
When all the workers were gone, the monkeys came down from the trees and started jumping around the site, and playing with the instruments.
| 1 |
|
7 |
There was one monkey, who got curious about the wedge placed between the log.
| 1 |
|
8 |
He sat down on the log, and having placed himself in between the half-split log, caught hold of the wedge and started pulling at it.
| 1 |
|
9 |
All of a sudden, the wedge came out.
| 1 |
|
10 |
As a result, the half-split log closed in and the monkey got caught in the gap of the log.
| 1 |
|
11 |
As was his destiny, he was severely wounded.
| 1 |
|
12 |
The wise indeed say, One, who interferes in other's work, surely comes to grief.
| 1 |
|
13 |
One day, a jackal called Gomaya was very hungry, and was wandering about in search of food.
| 1 |
|
14 |
After some time, he wandered out of the jungle he lived in, and reached a deserted battlefield.
| 1 |
|
15 |
In this deserted battlefield, a battle was fought recently.
| 1 |
|
16 |
The fighting armies had left behind a drum, which was lying near a tree.
| 1 |
|
17 |
As strong winds blew, the branches of the tree got rubbed against the drum.
| 1 |
|
18 |
This made a strange noise.
| 1 |
|
19 |
When the jackal heard this sound, he got very frightened and thought of running away.
| 1 |
|
20 |
If I cannot flee from here before I am seen by the person making all this noise, I will be in trouble.
| 1 |
|
21 |
As he was about to run away, he had a second thought.
| 1 |
|
22 |
It is unwise to run away from something without knowing.
| 1 |
|
23 |
Instead, I must be careful in finding out the source of this noise.
| 1 |
|
24 |
He took the courage to creep forward cautiously.
| 1 |
|
25 |
When he saw the drum, he realized that it was only the wind that was causing all the noise.
| 1 |
|
26 |
He continued his search for food, and near the drum he found sufficient food and water.
| 1 |
|
27 |
The wise indeed say, Only the brave succeed in life.

|
28 |
In a city called Vardhamana, lived a very efficient and prosperous merchant.
| 1 |
|
29 |
The king was aware of his abilities, and therefore made him the administrator of the kingdom.
| 1 |
|
30 |
With his efficient and intelligent ways, he kept common man very happy, and at the same time he impressed the king on the other side.
| 1 |
|
31 |
Such a person, who can keep everybody happy, is rarely found.
| 1 |
|
32 |
Later, there came a time that the merchant's daughter was getting married.
| 1 |
|
33 |
He arranged for a lavish reception.
| 1 |
|
34 |
The merchant not only invited the king and the queen, who obliged by attending, but he also invited the entire royal household and all respected people of the kingdom.
| 1 |
|
35 |
During the reception, he ensured to provide his guests with the best of treatments.
| 1 |
|
36 |
He gave out gifts to guests to show them respect for attending to his invitation.
| 1 |
|
37 |
A servant of the royal household, who used to sweep the palace, was not invited but attended the reception.
| 1 |
|
38 |
He took a seat which was reserved for royal nobles, not meant for common invitees.
| 1 |
|
39 |
This made the merchant very angry.
| 1 |
|
40 |
He caught him by the neck and ordered his servants to have him thrown out.
| 1 |
|
41 |
The royal servant felt very insulted, and could not sleep all night.
| 1 |
|
42 |
He thought, If I can have the king to disfavour this merchant, I will have my revenge.
| 1 |
|
43 |
But what can I, a common fellow, do to harm a powerful person as him.
| 1 |
|
44 |
Thinking such, he suddenly had a plan.
| 1 |
|
45 |
Several days later, the servant was sweeping the floor near the king's bed early in the morning.
| 1 |
|
46 |
He observed that that the king was still in bed, half awake.
| 1 |
|
47 |
The servant started mumbling, Good heavens! The merchant has become so carefree now that he dared to embrace the queen!
| 1 |
|
48 |
When the king heard this lying in his bed, he jumped up and asked the servant, Is it true? Have you seen the merchant embrace my queen yourself?
| 1 |
|
49 |
The servant at once fell at the king's feet, O Master, I was gambling all night.
| 1 |
|
50 |
I feel drowsy for I didn't sleep last night.
| 1 |
|
51 |
I don't know what I have been mumbling, but I said anything improper, please forgive me.
| 1 |
|
52 |
The king spoke no more, but the servant knew he had sowed the seed of distrust.
| 1 |
|
53 |
The king thought, It can be true! The servant moves about the palace freely, and so does the merchant.
| 1 |
|
54 |
It is possible that the servant has seen something.
| 1 |
|
55 |
The king was troubled with jealousy.
| 1 |
|
56 |
From that day onwards, he withdrew his favours from the merchant and even forbade him to enter the palace.
| 1 |
|
57 |
One day, when the merchant was entering the gateway to the palace, he was stopped by the guards.
| 1 |
|
58 |
The merchant was surprised due to this sudden change in the king's attitude.
| 1 |
|
59 |
The servant was nearby, and mocking shouted at the guards, Ho Guards! That merchant is favoured by the king, He is a powerful person.
| 1 |
|
60 |
He can have people arrested or released or even thrown out, just like he had me thrown out of his daughter's reception.
| 1 |
|
61 |
Beware, for you may suffer the same fate.
| 1 |
|
62 |
On hearing this, the merchant understood that the servant has caused all this trouble somehow.
| 1 |
|
63 |
He felt dejected, and returned home upset over the incident.
| 1 |
|
64 |
He gave everything a second thought, and then he invited the royal servant to his house.
| 1 |
|
65 |
He treated the servant with utmost respect, and flattered him with gifts and garments.
| 1 |
|
66 |
He said kindly, O friend, that day I did not have you thrown out due to anger, but it was improper of you to occupy the seat reserved for the royal nobles.
| 1 |
|
67 |
They felt insulted, and out of compulsion I had to throw you out. Please forgive me.
| 1 |
|
68 |
The servant was already flattered with all the gifts, and he was full of joy, Sir, I forgive you. You have not only expressed your regrets, but also honoured me with utmost respect.
| 1 |
|
69 |
He ensured the merchant, I will prove you how clever I am.
| 1 |
|
70 |
I will have the king favourable towards you, like he was before.
| 1 |
|
71 |
The servant went back home.
| 1 |
|
72 |
Early next morning, when he started sweeping the floors of the palace, he waited till when the king was lying half-awake.
| 1 |
|
73 |
When the opportunity came, he started sweeping around his bed and started mumbling, Our king is crazy, he eats cucumber in the lavatory!
| 1 |
|
74 |
On hearing this, the king was taken aback.
| 1 |
|
75 |
He got up angrily and shouted at the servant, What nonsense do you talk about? Had you not been by royal servant, I would have punished you dearly.
| 1 |
|
76 |
Have you ever seen me doing such thing yourself?
| 1 |
|
77 |
Once again the servant fell on his knees and prayed, O Master, please forgive me if I said something improper.
| 1 |
|
78 |
The king thought to himself, I have never eaten a cucumber in the lavatory.
| 1 |
|
79 |
What he mumbled about me is ridiculously false.
| 1 |
|
80 |
Surely then, what he mumbled about my trusted merchant the other morning must have been ridiculously false too.
| 1 |
|
81 |
It was improper of me to mistreat the merchant.
| 1 |
|
82 |
He wondered, After all he has been so efficient in the whole administrative system, that without him it has become slack.
| 1 |
|
83 |
Thus, having considered carefully, the king invited the merchant to the palace and flattered him with gifts, jewels and garments.
| 1 |
|
84 |
He re-appointed the merchant to his previously held position, and favoured his services as before.
| 1 |
|
85 |
The wise indeed say, One should treat one and all, even the lowest, with respect.
| 1 |
|
86 |
Once upon a time, there was a sage called Deva Sharma who lived in a temple in the outskirts of a town.
| 1 |
|
87 |
He was widely known and respected.
| 1 |
|
88 |
People would visit him, and offer him with gifts, food, money and garments to seek his blessings.
| 1 |
|
89 |
The gifts that he did not need for himself, he would sell off, and got rich on the proceeds.
| 1 |
|
90 |
And by nature, he trusted nobody.
| 1 |
|
91 |
So, he kept all his money in a bag which he carried under his arm all the time.
| 1 |
|
92 |
He would not part with the bag for a single moment.
| 1 |
|
93 |
One day, a swindler came across the sage, and he became sure that the bag this holy man was so possessive of, must surely contain a lot of treasure.
| 1 |
|
94 |
He planned on stealing the bag from the sage, but could not think of a way to do so.
| 1 |
|
95 |
He thought, I cannot make a hole in the temple wall, or jump over the high gates.
| 1 |
|
96 |
But I can charm him with sweet words to accept me as his disciple.
| 1 |
|
97 |
He wondered, If I can stay with him as a disciple, I can win his confidence. When I get an opportunity, I will rob him, and leave this place.
| 1 |
|
98 |
Having planned so, the swindler approached the holy man with reverence, Om Namah Shivaya! I bow before Lord Shiva, the God of Destruction.
| 1 |
|
99 |
With these words, he fell on the sage's feet and said, O Guruji, Please guide me to the right path of life.
