(a) Help and be good :
Story : once a father told his two sons that he wants to see, which one of them is good. I give you one year for this work. During this year you have to do good deeds. After one year , I will see which work you did. Those works will reveal your goodness’. He said.
Following their father’s orders, both of them left to do their works.
The elder son thought that,” I will earn a lot of money . Father will get very happy after looking at my earned money and he will award me of being a better son.”
He opened a small shop in the village and kept on selling cheap products at high rates. He made good money in one year.
The younger son left for the woods, empty-handed. He kept on walking till evening. He met an old man and woman on the way. Both of them were crying.
The younger boy asked old men and women with love, ” Babaji why are you crying ?”
“Our young son died of a poisonous snake bite. He was our only support. Now we will die hungry.” The old man started crying very loudly.
“Babaji , please don’t cry. Consider me as your Son only. I will help you.” The boy took the old man and woman to their house. He looked after their farm and crop for the entire year. When the crop ripened , he left the grains at their house. He remembered that he had to meet his father after one year. He left for his village, after telling the old man and woman that he will come back before the time of planting the next crop.
The father called both the boys together, in the evening and asked about the works done by them. The elder son said, “I had opened a shop and now I have earned a lot of money.”
The younger son said, “Father I have not earned any money. I found an old man and woman crying on the way. They looked like my own parents tome. But by savingtheir lives I do have earned their blessings.”
The father was very happy with the younger son. He said, “son, everybody is earning money in the world but our real earning is our goodness. By doing a good deed , the fame earned by you is far better than any income in the world and is priceless. In this way the younger brother has more goodness than the elderone. He is good.”
Then, putting his hand over elder brother’s head, father said,” Son, you also have to do good deeds like your younger brother and be good like him.”
