A long time ago, there was a man who was very lazy as well as poor. He didn't want to work for anything. But he kept dreaming of becoming rich. He used to earn his living by begging.
One morning he received a pitcher full of milk as
alms. He was very pleased and went home with a pitcher of milk.
He boiled the milk, drank some of it and put the
remaining milk in a vessel. To convert the milk into curd, he put some curd in
the vessel. After that he lay down to sleep.
He started thinking about the pot of curd while
sleeping.
He thought; “By morning the milk will turn into
curd. I will churn curd and make butter from it. Then heat the butter and make
ghee from it. Then I will sell ghee in the market and earn some money. With
that money I will buy a chicken. The hen will lay eggs, from those eggs many
chickens will be born. Then these chickens will lay hundreds of eggs and I will
have a poultry farm soon.” He was immersed in imagination.
Then he thought, “I will sell all the chickens and
then buy some cows and buffaloes and open a milk dairy. All the people of the
city will come to buy milk from me and I will be rich very soon. Then I will
marry a beautiful girl from a rich family. Then I will have a beautiful little
son. If he does any mischief then I will get very angry and to teach him a
lesson, I will beat him with a stick.”
While thinking this, he picked up the stick lying
next to the bed and started pretending to kill. The same stick got stuck in his
milk vessel and the milk vessel broke, due to which all the milk spread on the
ground.
Hearing the sound of the pot, the man fell asleep.
Seeing the milk spilled, he held up his head.
Lesson: Friends, dream, but nothing will happen by
having empty dreams. We have to work hard. Nothing comes easily in life. We
have to work hard to make our life the best. Because there is no substitute for
hard work.
If you just keep dreaming and don't take any steps
to make them come true, then you are deceiving yourself by doing so. So first
give 100% of yourself, then success itself will come to kiss your feet.
