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.

|
|
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.
