Chinna Katha – Mooda Jaheehi Dhanaagamatrishnaam - Vishnu

July 9, 2006

Once there lived a rich person. He was a miser. He was always after money. He happened go to hill side and found huge land vacant and uncultivated. A brilliant idea struck him. He approached the tribal head of that hill area. He appealed to him saying that the land was anyway vacant and not of any use to the tribal inhabitant there. If it be donated to him he would put the land to use and cultivate.

The tribal head promised generously "you can take as much land as you walk over and come back by the end of the day." The rich man walked, walked and walked along the hill uncaring his hunger and thirst. Finally he realized that the sun was setting, he started his return journey. He waddled through hill, fainted and died before he could reach the goal.

O ignorant soul, give up your (unquenchable) thirst or desire to possess or amass wealth and earthly objects, devote and develop your mind to thoughts of serenity, contentment and reality, be happy and satisfied with whatever you get as a reward of your past actions and entertain your mind with such noble thoughts.
