Excerpted from an outside source
A 6-year-old boy was in the market with his 4-year-old sister. Suddenly the boy found that his sister was lagging. He stopped and looked back. His sister was standing in front of a toy shop and was watching something with great interest.
The boy went back to her and asked, “Do you want something?” The sister pointed at the doll. The boy held her hand and like a responsible elder brother, gave that doll to her. The sister was very very happy…
The shopkeeper was watching everything and getting amused to see the mature behaviour of the boy…
Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, “What is the cost of this doll, Sir? !”The shopkeeper was a cool man and had experienced the odds of life. So he asked the boy with a lot of love and affection, “Well, What can you pay?”
The boy took out all the shells that he had collected from the shore, from his pocket and gave them to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper took the shells and started counting as if he were counting the currency. Then he looked at the boy. The boy asked him worriedly, “Is it less?” The shopkeeper said, “No, No… These are more than the cost. So I will return the remaining.” Saying so, he kept only 4 shells with him and returned the remaining.
The boy, very happily kept those shells back in his pocket and went away with his sister.
A servant in that shop was very surprised watching all this. He asked his master, “Sir! You gave away such a costly doll just for 4 shells ???”
The shopkeeper said with a smile, “Well, for us these are mere shells.But for that boy, these shells are very precious. At this age, he does not understand what money is, but when he grows up, he definitely will. And when he remembers that he purchased a doll with the Shells instead of Money, he will remember me and think that the world is full of goodness and good people.“
It will help him develop a positive attitude and he too in turn will feel motivated to be Good.”
Mind Mantra – Whatever emotion you infuse into the world, it will further spread. If you do goodness, goodness will spread. If you do bad, negativity will spread.
Realise you are a very powerful source of energy.
Your good or bad will come back to you magnified. Not in the ways you want it, and probably not in the ways you can understand it. But it will come back.
