Budhha Story The Law That Removes The Poverty
Once upon a time, Gautam buddha was addressing people in a village people would go to him with their various problems and come back happily with a solution.
A poor man would sit on the side of the road of the same village and watch the people who came to the teaching camp of Buddha with great attention. He was surprised that people would carry very sad faces inside but when they come back, they look very happy. The poor man wondered what solutions buddha was giving them for their problems. He thought why he too should not put his problem before buddha So he also approached Gautam buddha with this thought in his mind. People were standing in queues and explaining their problems. When it was his turn, he first bowed to Gautam buddha and then said
“Lord; almost everyone in this village is happy and prosperous”
“Then why am so I poor?” why God has not given me a prosperous life”
Buddha looked at him with compassion and said
“You are poor because you have not given anything to anyone till the date. The poor man was surprised and said
“Lord, what are you saying”
I am a beggar.
I can hardly survive myself.
I feed myself by begging people.
I have nothing to give anything to anyone.
How can I give anything to anyone when I don’t have it.
Buddha remained calm for a while then said he said, “My dear friend You are very ignorant”. You have things to give and not less at all. God has given you a lot to share with others, but you are not aware of it. You have never analyzed it. God has given you a smile so that you can make people smile and infuse hope in them. You have given a mouth so that you can speak sweet and kind words to people. You can praise them with your words and encourage them. You have eyes with which you can look at others with kindness and compassion. You have given God has given these four things can never be poor, it is an illusion and you must remove it. Never let there be a sense of poverty in your mind. Poverty will automatically go away. Hearing this message of Gautam Buddha the man’s face lit up and he brought his sermon into his life. Which never saddened him again.
We see around us many times people curse their destiny and think that why god has not made them prosperous, but they need to remember this sermon of Gautam buddha and start analyzing what God has given them. The idea of poverty is in the mind of a man. Richness and contentment do not lie in taking but it lies in giving it is the law of nature that what we give comes back to us a thousand times, Therefore the one who gives can never remain poor again.
