Hi friends today I will tell you the story of a poor man who was always sad for his life He lives in a city called Manikauli, yes its name is difficult to pronounce ok let us begin the story.
One day A very knowledgeable sadhu Maharaj had come to the city, many humbled, sad, and troubled people started coming to him to get his kindness. One such sad, poor man named Raghu came to him and said to Sadhu Maharaj, 'I am very poor man Maharaj, I have debt too, I am very upset. Do me some favors'.
Sadhu Maharaj gave him a bright blue stone and said that this is a precious stone, go get money as much as you can. Raghu left from there and with the intention of saving him, he went to a fruit seller he knew and wanted to know the price by showing the stone. The fruit seller said, 'I think it is blue glass, the Mahatma has given it to you, yes it looks beautiful and bright, you give it to me, I will give you 1000 rupees.
Frustrated, Raghu went to another acquaintance who was a pottery merchant. He also showed the merchant to that stone and wanted to know its value to avoid it. The merchant of utensils said, 'This stone is a special gem, I will give you 10,000 rupees for it. Raghu started thinking that its price would be even higher and he started thinking from there.
Now Raghu showed this stone to a goldsmith, the goldsmith looked at that stone carefully and said that it is very valuable, I will give you Rs. 1,00,000.
Raghu now understood that it was very priceless, he thought why not show it to the diamond merchant, thinking that he went to the biggest diamond merchant in the city. When that diamond merchant saw that stone, he kept looking The stone for a while, watchful expressions started appearing on his face. He applied that stone from the forehead and asked, where did you bring it from. This is priceless. Even if I sell my entire property, I cannot pay its price.
Now Raghu started to understand the true means of sadhu Maharaj what he wanted to explain Raghu. He went back to sadhu Maharaj and return him the stone and told him the whole story after taking the mahatma's blessing he went back to his work with so much positiveness.
