DO NOT TRY TO OBTAIN FAVOURS BUT RELY ON YOUR OWN EFFORTS

DO NOT TRY TO OBTAIN FAVOURS BUT RELY ON YOUR OWN EFFORTS : 

Once, a man came to a rich wise man. He said: “I am a pauper. Give me some money for my livelihood.” The rich wise man said: “That would not be good for you.” Then he gave him a formula for dignity: “The upper hand is better than the lower hand.” Then the Prophet gave him a few silver coins, and said: “Go to the jungle, cut some wood, and sell it to earn your livelihood. And meet me in two months’ time.” The man accepted the wise man’s words. He led his life as advised by the wise man. Then, two months later, he came back to the wise man and said: “I am happy with my job. Now I have decided not to ask for anything from anyone.”By hard work you can earn money, but through money you cannot achieve hard work. The best formula of life is this: Do not try to obtain favours, but rely on your own efforts.

Om Namah Shivay.
