Destiny will come anyway!

                                 Destiny will come anyway
Ramu is a poor boy. He is living with his mother. He lost his father in a very young age. Then afterwards, his mother is looking after him. Sometimes, she could not satisfy all of his demands. But also, she tries to keep him happy.
One day ,samething happened. Ramu wanted doll to play with. But his mother was not having that much money to buy that. So, she gave a wooden stick to Ramu and said that till he gets doll, he can play with stick.
So, Ramu took the stick and went out.
He was going to play ground. On the way , he saw an old woman was struggling to bake roties as she was not having any fuel to burn the stove. That moment itself, Ramu gave his wooden stick he had brought to play to old woman.
Old woman was happy. She baked the roties with the wooden stick and gave one of the roti to Ramu to eat. But Ramu took the roti and walked further distance. On the way he saw a woman who was struggling to passify her child. Ramu thought may be child is hungry . So  , he gave his roti to woman and asked her to feed the baby.
After eating the roti, child slept. Woman was very grateful to Ramu. She said she dont know how to thank him. Ramu was about to leave the place. Then woman gave him a large earthern pot and asked him to accept her sign of gratitude. Though , Ramu was not interested he took the pot. He went on his way further. It was getting dusk.
Then he saw a quarrelling couple on the way. Husband was beating his wife for breaking the only pot they have got. Wife was pleading for mercy. Ramu felt very sorry for wife. He decided that he will give his pot to couple. And he did that too.
By seeing the pot, man was very happy. He thanked Ramu and as a token of gratitude he gave a horse to Ramu. But Ramu refused as he is only struggling to have his daily meal. But man asked him to take the horse and said him it will bring him luck.
Ramu took the horse . As it was getting late, he sat on the horse and started riding it. In the middle of the way, he saw a marriage party. They were worried that all of their things have been stolen by dacoits. They were worried that they will not reach the marriage hall in time.
By seeing this, Ramu said they may take his horse. By seeing that, all were happy. Groom's father came near Ramu and asked him how can he thank him? He offered some money to Ramu. But Ramu refused to take money as he didnt do the work for sake of money. Groom's father then asked him what else he wants? If he can afford, he will surely give.
Ramu suddenly remembered his desire of owning a doll to play. He said the same thing with groom's father. Groom's father was a sculptor. Hearing Ramu's wish, he instantly made a nice doll and gave it to Ramu. Ramu was very happy for getting the doll.
Moral : If we are desined, our desire will always come on our way. But our effort is also needed.

  1. Excellent-must have happened in good old days! Only then an exchange of pot with Horse was even thinkable! Right desires are fulfilled by the Lord and as you say, we must put superior effort in the right direction. Great Maharshi Vasistha in YogaVaasista said to Sri Rama "by extra-ordinary and superior effort in dharmic way can even "conquor the Fate"
