Welfare of People----
Thousands of years ago In Magadh’s
North part,Yoganand was ruling .He was very kind and always tried to do works
for people’s welfare.He used to spend money for making houses for people
,digging wells or canals so that people become happy and prosperous.To see
their peoples every after three of four months he used to ride towards far away
villages of his state in a changed getup .
One day in hot summers, he reached in
a farmer’s field 60 miles away from his palace,He saw the farm was dry,
Farmer’s It was very hard to pull the plough for bulls.
The king got down from the horse tied
the cart with a tree,and reached near the farmer.Farmer also saw him so he was
also looking at him.
The king wished him like a common man
and then asked ‘Why didn’t you water the farm before ploughing ?
There is no canal in this area,and I
can’t afford digging well,so I can only
depend on Lord Indra’s bliss ,I mean rain.It will rain definitely one day so I
am doing hard work in my farm.He said.
“I have heard that your king spens
quite a good amount of money in making houses ,digging wells and canals, didn’t
you get that help.”Asked the king.
“May be.But we are passing the days
on our own efforts .If it rains we do the farming if not then we work as
labourers ,to feed my family any how.The farmer said.
“But king is very kind he doesn’t
want to see poor people in his state .He wants to see every one happy and
prosperous.He distributes lacks of
rupees for people’s help.So that they can have houses .Wells ,canals to help in
farming.”
“There is no use of his likings or
wishes.The ministers ‘likings and wishing only work.If they want they can make
any one rich and if they don’t want they can make any one beggar.Its Ok our
king is very kind and allots a big amount of money for the welfare of people,He
pours rain of money but that rain does not reach to us.”
King was shocked and surprised.He
asked,”Does the rain stop mid way ?”
Yes. Farmer replied.
How ?
Farmer said,” That I can’t tell you I
can tell only to the king.
OK,If I will call you,can you tell it
in the court ?
Yes ! Sure !!
King Yoganand rode the horse towards
his Palace,he was thinking “Though I spent lot of money yet People are not
happy ,definitely some thing is wrong.Ok Tomorrow Morning I will call the
farmer to get it cleared.”
Early in the morning he sent a
messenger to bring the farmer.He ordered him to reach to the court at 10 along
with the farmer.
All the courtiers,ministers were
sitting in the court.The messenger arrived with the farmer.When the farmer saw
the king ,he immediately recognised ,he is the man yesterday visited to him.But
he did not hesitate .
A chair was kept near King’s throne
for the farmer.King asked,”Now king is sitting near you,tell me how the money rain
stops poured by me?”
The Farmer said “I will need a big
ice cube,and all the courtiers must stand in a que,you will be at the first
place in the que and I will be at the last place of the que.
King ordered to bring a big Ice
cube.The farmer asked the king to weigh it,it was 40kg and then hold it in
hands.Then give it to the next.This way through one after another hands, the
cube reached to the farmer in the end,again it was
weighed,now it was 20 kg.
The farmer happily said,”I have
replied your question”he then went out.
King could not understand ,he shouted
,bring back the farmer,he wants to make me fool.But the intelligent Prime
Minister Maatulugi said,”The farmer was
right,Whatever is reached to people is just half of the amount you allot ,and
so your people are not happy.”
