"I know a lady..She was working in a software company..she earned almost 25000 Rs. per month..but unfortunately she had to quit her job due to few personal issues..It was her birthday that year..She had a habit of celebratibng her birthday in an orpahanage by sponsoring one day meal for those destitutes..But this time she had zero balance in her account..she was completely upset.she wanted to sponsor even this time..But how was the question??God had the answer for her..Do you all know what happened??Just one week before her birthday she got a sms from HDFC bank .It said "An amount of RS 6000 is credited in ur account."..God credited it inher account for her to donate..she knew it.she did not use even a single rupee for herself..You know what??If you sit and think about the money that was credited in her account,logically it was the excess tax amount that was deducted from her salary when she was working in the software company, a year ago. hence it was her money that was returned back to her..there is no magic in it...But emotionaly, sentimentally in her view, it was the amount that was credited by God in the right time for the right reason..It was a magic for her..
I also know another lady..she is working in a leading software company..she earns almost 40000 Rs per month..Her husband, also a software engineer earns almost 70,000 Rs per monthS.So her family income per month is almost 1,10,000 RS..If you ask me "why are u so bothered about other people's family income?" here comes the reason..She once told me.."Its really tough to run our family with this small income.."..I was shocked to hear it..I know people who have a family income of only 20,000Rs per month..they run their family smoothly and they have a satisfied life..when this lady told this I asked her "what do you do in your weekends?...she said ,"we go to parties in star hotels almost every weekend..we also go to pubs and enjoy life...life is to enjoy and what else????everybody in this world is happy and we are also happy.."
I smiled..I was immediately reminded of Rianne..my dearest friend from Netherlands,,She once told me ...,"Nithya ..I met a foreign lady in kovalam beach..she was taking sun bath there..she was lying there on the beach and she told me ," who said India is poor??India is rich India is really rich..." and I asked her,"what did u see in India?" She said.."Oh me!!I am here in this same beach for the past two weeks...' I took my right hand and beat myself on my forehead..."
# If u ask me..ok nithya!!!finally what are you trying to say...here it is..
People and their characters differ..Every single character I meet here teach me something..I wonder at the contradictions in God's creation...God gives very little money to People who have the mind to give to others .. and He gives ample wealth to those people who want everything for themselves and waste everything..Many of us here are like the lady who Rianne met in the beach..We only see things next to us and take our decisions..But world is big ..we need to widen our views..
I am reminded of the poet Kannadasan's words..
"God created oceans..he filled it with water..then he added too much of salt in it..so that no body can drink it.."
but one thing is true...You know what.."when u have the mind to donate,the amount required will be credited by God..
