किसी जरूरतमंद के लिए सिक्का:
एक बार की बात है, एक साधु रहते थे जो एक जगह से दूसरी जगह जाया करते थे। एक बार वे एक राज्य की राजधानी की एक गली से गुजर रहे थे। रास्ते में उसे सड़क के किनारे एक सिक्का पड़ा मिला।साधु ने उसे उठाकर रख लिया। साधु सादा जीवन व्यतीत करते थे और उनके पास उस सिक्के का कोई उपयोग नहीं था इसलिए उन्होंने इसे किसी जरूरतमंद को देने की सोची।
वह पूरे दिन राज्य में घूमता रहा लेकिन उसे एक भी ऐसा व्यक्ति नहीं मिला जो असंतुष्ट या धन की आवश्यकता महसूस करता हो। रात को वह विश्राम स्थल पर पहुंचा और वहीं रात बिताई।
अगली सुबह वह उठा और अपने दैनिक कार्य कर रहा था, उस विश्राम क्षेत्र से गुजर रहे राजा ने उसे देखा और अपने सैनिकों को वहीं रुकने का आदेश दिया।
राजा ऋषि के पास गया और बोला, "मैं एक अन्य राज्य को जीतने के लिए युद्ध पर जा रहा हूँ ताकि मेरे राज्य का विस्तार हो सके.. कृपया मुझे विजयी होने का आशीर्वाद दें।"
ऋषि ने अपने हाथ में रखा सिक्का निकाला और राजा को दे दिया।
राजा ऋषि के कृत्य से भ्रमित हो गया और उसने प्रश्न किया, "तुमने मुझे यह सिक्का क्यों दिया ?? इसका क्या अर्थ है ??"
ऋषि मुस्कुराए और जवाब दिया, "हे महान राजा .. !! कल सुबह जब मैं राजधानी शहर में टहल रहा था तो मुझे यह सिक्का सड़क किनारे पड़ा मिला।
मैंने इसे उठाया और किसी जरूरतमंद को देने का फैसला किया।
पूरे दिन मैं शहर में लोगों से मिलने के लिए घूमता रहा। मैंने जिससे भी बात की, पाया कि वे खुशी से रह रहे हैं और उनके पास जो कुछ भी है उससे संतुष्ट लग रहे थे और इस वजह से मेरे पास अभी भी यह सिक्का है।
आज, जब इस राज्य का राजा अधिक पाने की इच्छा के कारण युद्ध के लिए जा रहा है और उसके पास पहले से ही संतुष्ट नहीं है..
तो मुझे ऐसा लगा कि जिस व्यक्ति को इस सिक्के की सबसे ज्यादा जरूरत है, वह आप ही हैं, राज्य के राजा.. इसलिए मैंने इसे आपको दिया है.. "
राजा को अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ। उन्होंने ऋषि को अनमोल जीवन पाठ के लिए धन्यवाद दिया और युद्ध पर नहीं जाने का फैसला किया।
नैतिक: हम सभी अधिक पाने की इच्छा रखते हैं और इसके कारण जो हमारे पास पहले से है उसका आनंद लेने का मौका बर्बाद कर देते हैं। एक सुखी और स्वस्थ जीवन जीने के लिए, हमें जो है उससे खुश रहना सीखना चाहिए।
Coin for Someone Needy:
Once upon a time, lived a Sage who used to go from one place to other. Once he was passing through a street of capital city of a kingdom. On his way he found a coin on side of road.
Sage picked it up and kept it. Sage used to live a simple life and had no use of that coin so he thought of giving it to someone in need.
He roamed through kingdom whole day but didn’t found even a single person who seemed unsatisfied or in need of money. At night he reached a rest area and spent his night there.
Next morning he woke up and was doing his daily activities, King who was passing by that rest area saw him and ordered his soldiers to stop there.
King went to Sage and said, “I am going on war to win over another state so that my kingdom can be expanded.. Please bless me to be victorious..”
Sage took out the coin he was holding on and gave it to King.
King was confused at act of Sage and questioned, “Why did you gave me this coin?? What meaning of this??”
Sage smiled and replied, “O great King..!! Yesterday in morning while i was strolling in capital city, i found this coin on road side.
I picked it up and decided to give it to someone needy.
Whole day i walked around meeting people in city. With whomever i communicated, found that they are living happily and seemed satisfied with whatever they have and because of that i still have this coin.
Today, When King of this kingdom is going on for war because of desire to gain more and not satisfied with what he already have..
So i felt like person who needs this coin most is you, King of kingdom itself.. that’s why i gave it to you..”
King realized his mistake. He thanked Sage for precious life lesson and decided not to go on war.
Moral: We all Desire to have more and because of that we Waste Chance of Enjoying what we Already have.. In order to Live a Happy and Healthy Life, We should Learn to be Happy with what we have.
