Empty mind is devils work shop

There lived a very wealthy man.He had a son who was enjoying
all his wealth but had never done any hard work in life.
The son never understood what poverty was;neither did he understand how people
struggle to earn their living.

His wealth made him arrogant and he never mingled with any one.
He did not have any friends.All he had was money and time to spend it.

After his father's death he inherited all the wealth but no friendss or family.
He was alone in the big house.
His father used to help the poor in need,so after his father's death the poor came to him.
He didn't help anyone or do any good. He was cruel to everyone.
One day all the housekeepers in his house left the house and no one wanted to work for him.
He didn't even have any person to take care of him.

He realized hat everyone in the town hated him.

Solitude surrounded him and he didn't know what to do.

One Sunday morning,he decided to go to the church after a longtime.

He went to the priest and confessed that he had been cruel to peple.

He said

"People in the town hate me.No one wants to work for me.
Nobody even talks to me."

The priest said

"My son, I have a solution to your problem.
Will you listen to what ever I ask you to do?"

The man said

"Yes I will.Just tell me how I can become a good person and make
people to like me?"

The priest said

"Well, then you have to live in the church for three months and do some
service here."

The rich man agreed and the next day he packed all his clothes,money and
a comfortable mattress and went to the church.

The priest looked at him and said "You can stay in the church,but not your
belongings.When you live here you have to live like others."

So the man had to give away what ever he brought with him.

The priest made him mop the floor and do some hard work.

The rich man found it very hard to do work,as he had never done it before.
He could not tolerate the amount of hardwork he had to put in.

Days passed by.After three months the priest called him and asked him
"How do you feel after all this work you did"?

He said

"I didn't know people around me work so hard to earn their living.
I didn't respect anyone because I had lot of money.I didn't know what
hardship was".

He also realized that he had to respect everyone around him.

Until three months back his mind was empty,he didn't know what to do with money.

But after all the work he did,he realized how important money was to people
and how hard they work for it.

He became more kind and helepful to people there after.
