Parables
of Rama-209
A
Gardener’s Devotion to duty
A man
was planting a garden. Somebody asked him, “What are you doing, old man? Will
you be able to enjoy the fruits of this garden? Your one leg is already in the
grave.”
The gardener replied, “Others had planted
gardens, and we enjoy the fruits. Now I am planting the garden, and others will
enjoy its fruits after me”.
That is how the business of this world goes on.
Did Christ and Mohammed enjoy the fruit of their own effort themselves? They
willingly made themselves manure for the garden planted by them. The fruits
which we are enjoying today, even after centuries, are the result of the labour
and efforts of the great Rishis and yore, who reduced themselves to dust in the
interest of the welfare of their gardens. This is the real motto of religion
Moral:- Continue
to do work. You enjoyed fruits of your predecessors; let posterity enjoy the
fruits of your doing.
