Mahatma and the washerman!!!

A Mahatma was sitting on a big stone on the bank of the river. A washerman comes there and there was a single pond on the shore where he used to wash clothes every day. When he saw Mahatmaji sitting on the rock, he thought - He will get up now, I will wait for some time. Wait and then do my work. One hour passed, two hours passed and Mahatma still did not wake up.

So the washerman folded his hands and humbly requested, "Mahatma, this is my place to wash clothes, if you "Sit somewhere else so I can complete my work." Mahatmaji stood up from there and sat at a distance. The washerman started washing the clothes and in the process of washing the clothes, some blows started falling on Mahatmaji. Mahatmaji got angry and started scolding the washerman. When he could not find peace, he picked up the washerman's stick kept nearby and started hitting him. The snake appears soft on the surface but its reality becomes visible only when the tail is pressed.

Seeing Mahatma angry, the washerman thought that he might have committed some crime. So, he folded his hands and started seeking forgiveness from the Mahatma. Mahatma said - You scoundrel has no manners at all, don't you see that you are throwing dirty dust on me? Are you tired? The washerman said – Maharaj, please calm down, I have made a mistake by being a fool, I have washed people's dirty clothes. Please forgive me for not paying attention while washing. The washerman's work was completed, he collected the clean clothes and returned after apologizing to the Mahatma. Pharyo and Mahatma saw that the dirty water coming out of the washer stone came in contact with the soil. Was becoming clean and pure and was becoming invisible again. The white flow of the stream, but the intense moisture and wet smell remained in the Mahatma's own white clothes. It was done. Who is the washerman and who is the Mahatma? In fact, the washerman was the true Mahatma, he used to remove the stains from people with patience and restraint.

The Mahatma realized his mistake and later controlled his anger and the great Mahatma it is bad.

*Teaching:-* Just as we cannot see our reflection in boiling water, similarly in a state of anger We cannot understand what is good for us..!!

*Always be happy - whatever is achieved is enough.* *The one whose mind is happy has everything.

*Today's Inspiration* Just as darkness cannot destroy darkness, only light can do this; Similarly, hatred cannot destroy hatred, only love can do this.

*From today* we will destroy hatred through love...
