One day a king called all his
ministers & asked, “Everyone has some work, the doctor looks after
patients, teacher teaches, gardener looks after the garden, what is Gods job?”
There is a lot of discussion, but
the King is not satisfied. Finally the King gives the head
minister 2 days time to come up with a satisfactory answer.
The worried minister goes & sits in a field at the end of the
second day.
A shepherd boy sees him & enquires about the cause of his
worry. The minister is reluctant to discuss. The shepherd says, “At least share
because sharing will make u feel lighter.”
The minister tells him what the
king wants to know. The shepherd says, “Is that all! Tell the King the shepherd
boy knows the answer.”
The king is very surprised &
calls the shepherd boy.
The shepherd boy says, “You have
asked a question & I am giving you the reply. To gain knowledge from me, my
seat has to be higher than your seat.”
King looks around & there is
no seat higher than his. He asks the boy how much time he needs to give a
reply. The boy says 5mins.
The king vacates his seat &
gives it to the shepherd boy. The shepherd boy sits on the
throne & starts enjoying it.
The king waits in front of him
& there is no reply coming.
As the minutes tick by, the king
starts getting impatient. At the end of the 4th minute he asked the
boy to give a reply;
The boy replied with a smile, “Gods job is to raise up the humble &
bring down the egoistic”.
hats off!!
