The Miser (Greed - Lowb)

There once was a miser. He spent all his life collecting untrue

wealth. Needless to say, he was quite heavily loaded in his old age.

He spent all his golden years worrying about the accumulated wealth.

His worry reached the peak on his deathbed. Indeed, he was so

worried that he collected the finest jewels of his treasury and put

them in a bag; the bag was put under his bed and he would feel it

before, after and during his sleep.

When he knew his breaths were numbered, he desperately called his

wife, "Sohni, please take this bag and put it in the attic. When

the death messengers are dragging me, I will grab on to the bag and

take it with me."

Sohni was a simpleton (thank God for that, otherwise this story

would end right about now). She did exactly as she was told. A few

hours later, the miser died.

The next day, Sohni was curious enough to see whether her husband

had managed to fool the death messenger and taken his treasures. So

Sohni went up to the attic and to her surprise, found the bag

exactly in the same spot as where she had left it.

She hit her forehead with her palm (she was of the Indian origin)

and lamented, "What a fool I am! My husband never did any good in

his life. He probably was dragged down to hell. I should have put

the bag in the basement."

pyareoooooo,

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh

Imagine a person waking up from a dream. The dream was so real. In

it, there were people chasing the dreamer. In it, there were people

being protected by the dreamer.

When the dreamer wakes u

p, she says, "How foolish of me to worry

about all this - it was not real."

Pyareooooooo, that is ****exactly***** how we will feel when we die.

We will say, "Boy, was I foolish. My friends, my spouse, my family,

my enemies, my lovers were all unreal. I wasted all my life

worrying about them."

A gursikh hears this and goes to the guru.

The gursikh asks:

"guru jee, who collects untrue wealth?"

The guru replies:

"kacha dhan sanche moorakh gaavar || (panna 665) The ignorant fools

amass false wealth || "

The gursikh again asks:

"guru jee, how do we collect true wealth?"

The guru again replies:

"sacha dhan gurmati paayeah ||

True wealth is obtained through the Guru's Teachings ||"

Again, the gursikh asks:

"Pyare guru jee, tell us, what is this 'True Wealth'."

The guru replies,

"sat naam"

pyari sakhioooo,

There is only one (allow daas to repeat, *only* one) one thing that

will go with us: Naam.

So let us all put Naam on our top priority list *today*.

Thank you and may the guru bless you all.

naanak naam visaariai dhar gaeiaa kiaa hoe ||4||8||

O Nanak, those who forget the Naam-what will happen when they go to the Court of the Lord? ||4||8||

SUGGESTION: pls search 'Naam' in Gurbani section @ http://www.SikhiToTheMax.com and read more Gurbanee about Naam!

One of main purposes of coming to earth is to collect Naam, our true wealth. Nothing else departs with us or saves us...the only way to cross the terrifying wordly ocean.

Without Naam we live in hell. Hell is where Naam isnt. vaheguru vaheguru vaheguru.....

Great post veer jee!
