Be Respectful & Be Fortunate

Once there was a person, he was very gentle. He used to respect other people. He belonged to a middle class family. Time passed and he wanted to become a rich person. He went to a saint and asked him with great humility " Please show me a way, so that I can become a wealthy person."

When the saint saw his modesty and humility, he gave him a suggestion to buy a lot of black cloths. The gentleman bought black cloths from all the shops of the market in the village. After few days, a very honourable person of the village died . There was a custom of wearing black clothes on the death of a person , that everybody would wear black clothes. All the people bought the clothes from the gentleman due to which he become a prosperous person. Now he was a rich man but along with that , he became prideful and greedy .

At this time,he wanted to become more wealthy . So he again went to that saint and asked him very rudely " Oh saint! tell me a way of becoming more richer." This time the saint was surprised by the manners of the gentle man , now he wanted to teach him a lesson. The saint gave him the suggestion of buying the watermelons. The rude man who was initially a gentle man went and bought all the watermelons from the market. But unfortunately, nobody bought watermelons from him and the watermelons spoiled . He lost all his money and again became a poor man .

He went to the saint and asked him that why he gave him a wrong suggestion. The saint told him, " When you respectful, I gave you the right suggestion but when you became rude and ill mannered, I gave you the wrong suggestion in order to realise you that how much it is important to respect others."
