There was a poor man named Sagram. One day, he was walking through a jungle with his wife to go to another city for work.
On the way, a marriage procession passed by. After it had gone ahead, Sagram noticed a large golden chain lying on the road.
Seeing the gold, Sagram immediately covered it with dust and tried to hide it.
His wife, who was walking behind him, noticed what he was doing and asked, “What are you doing?”
Sagram replied, “I am covering it with dust because you are a woman, and I was afraid that seeing such a beautiful golden chain might tempt you.”
His wife replied, “But you are putting dust on dust! Gold is also nothing but dust for us. God does not like greed. I believe that someone else’s wealth should be considered like dust.”
Hearing this, Sagram understood her words. They picked up the golden chain and returned it to the marriage procession.
Moral of the Story :-
True wealth is not in possessing gold or money, but in keeping our mind free from greed. We should consider another person’s wealth as dust and never allow temptation to disturb our honesty.
