Why Not Today Itself?
Once upon a time, a disciple used to respect his Guru very much. The Guru also loved his disciple very much but that disciple was lazy towards his studies and long-winded by nature. Always tried to run away from self-study. And used to leave today's work for tomorrow. Now Guruji started worrying that his disciple might get defeated in the struggle for life. Laziness has the power to make a person indolent. Such a person wishes to enjoy the fruits without hard work. He cannot take decisions quickly and even if he does, he is not able to implement them. Neither is he conscious of his environment nor is he proficient in the art of taking advantage of the good opportunities provided by fate. He made a plan in his mind for the welfare of his disciple. One day, while giving a piece of a black stone in his hand, Guru ji said - 'I will give you this piece of magical stone for two days, and will send you somewhere. Going to another village. Whatever iron object you touch with it will turn into gold. But remember that I will take it back from you after sunset the next day.
The disciple was very happy to get this opportunity but being lazy, he spent his first day imagining how happy, prosperous and satisfied he would be when he had a lot of gold and so many servants. He will not have to be lifted even to drink water. Then the next day when he woke up in the morning, he remembered well that today was the second and last day of getting the gold. He had a firm thought in his mind that today he would definitely take advantage of the black stone given by Guruji. He decided that he would buy big iron articles from the market and convert them into gold. The day passed, but he kept thinking that there was still a lot of time, he would go to the market any time to buy things. He thought that now he would go out to get the things only after having lunch. But he had the habit of taking rest after having lunch, and instead of getting up and working hard, he thought it better to rest for a while. But his body, full of laziness, got lost in the depths of sleep, and when he woke up, the sun was about to set. Now he started running quickly towards the market, but on the way he met Guruji. As soon as he saw him, he fell at his feet and started pleading to keep that magical stone with him for one more day, but Guruji did not agree and the disciple His dream of becoming rich was shattered. But because of this incident, the disciple learned a great lesson: he began to regret his laziness, he understood that laziness was a curse on his life and he vowed that again he would never shy away from work and Will prove to be a hard-working, alert and active person.
Friends, everyone gets many opportunities in life, but many people waste them simply because of their laziness. Therefore, I want to say that if you want to become successful, happy, lucky, rich or great, then give up laziness and procrastination and develop within yourself qualities like prudence, hard work, and constant awareness and whenever there is any thought in your mind, If you think of postponing important work, ask yourself a question – “Why not today?”
