The thing is the same but the price varies with the person
A person is judged by who he is. Sometimes we don't know how valuable the treasure we have is, and we don't value it. This story is based on this.
A couple lived in a village. They had a son. Not very smart, but an ordinary boy. Conscientious. Casual, but a little too casual. Being alone was quite pampered. As he grew up, he became reckless, imprudent and flighty. He was worth nothing. There is no facility to buy something new. He understood many times that the value of a thing depends on how we use it, but to no avail
.
Once, his father used a trick to show him that the value of something “depends on a person's character and strength”. They gave him two stones. And say, you show this stone to the 4 people I tell and see how much they value it. And come and tell me before selling and then decide what to do. But before that tell me the value of these two stones in your eyes.
On that he said, “What a lot of nonsense. What use is this to me? Throw it away.” Of course, the expected answer was received. But still the father gave him the addresses of four people and asked him to go.
First he went to the vegetable shop near the house. He gave those two stones to the vegetable. He checked it out, and got it weighed from a nearby grocery store. Out of the two stones, one weighs 1 kg and the other 100 grams. He said, brother, if you look at it, even if you don't give me these stones, it will work, but if you want to consume them, I should take them, take these two carrots in return. These stones can be used to weigh me down. The boy said ok and went to another man with the stone.
Another man was a collector of old things. He saw these stones and said to the boy, Oh, these are among rare stones. I give 500 for this big stone and 300 for the small stone. See if it works.
The boy said ok and went ahead. As he walked down the road he remembered his opinion of the stone he had told his father, and muttered to himself, What fools we are. He went to the third person. The third person was a sculptor. When he saw the stone, he bowed to it. The boy felt a little strange. He saw the expression on the boy's face and said, “King, will you look carefully at these two stones, if they are shaped and polished a little, they will make a small idol of Ganesha. Also they are red in color and glittering, the idol is placed in a glass jar and decorated a little so someone will easily fetch Rs 700-800.
The boy was struggling with himself. All three times he realized how foolish he himself was. Although the first vegetable is nothing, we saw how to use it. The second and third agreed to pay literally hundreds. Anyway, let's see what the fourth one says.
The fourth man was very proud, forward and ignored by everyone in that neighborhood. People always spoke well to his face but cursed him behind his back. There was money, but so was me. The boy immediately showed him these two stones and said, how much will you pay for them. He took the stone in his hand and told him, throw it into the pit, it is of no use.
Well, he will understand why Baba asked him to do all this. If we continue to behave, we will become like this man. He went to Tadak Baba and frankly confessed that henceforth he would always act judiciously, never recklessly.
