There was a small child named pandy, a very active and energetic child. His mother gave him a doll and told him to take care of this doll and not to let it be away from you any time. This was mother’s last gift to him and she expired. It became his responsibility to take care of the doll. Keep it clean, change dress every day and keep the doll lively. This went on for years. He use to do his work and even take care of the doll. He kept growing, more orders more money. Kept getting busy with work and giving less time to the doll. He started getting irritated and stressed, since he had to take care of the doll and cannot leave it. He started envying his friends as they had no such responsibility like him and they had a living company with them who helped them and were partner to them in various ways. Here with this doll he felt its only one-sided. Where husband and wife both earning, here I am only earning and spending on you.
Slowly with the growing age and social pressures his health was also getting affected. He started cursing the doll, if I had not to take care of you, I would have flourish like others and made more money, had lavish lifestyle and married to a rich girl.
He started neglecting the doll, and meeting more friends and use to keep the doll away from his activities. Slowly he started feeling ill, friends were behaving odd to him. His business started going down. He didn’t knew what to do, kept cursing the doll, that he wasted time with it which he could have done in the savings for his future.
Then he was alone lying on the bed, crying and missing his mom. In his sleep that day his mom came into his dream and asked him why are you so sad my child. What wrong has happened with you. He told mom I did exactly as you had instructed me to do. I have been taking care of your doll and now I am in losses. The mother asked, ‘but where is the doll now I can’t see it near you’. He said ‘I left the doll in the old house.’ So the mother replied, where are you listening to me then. I told you to keep with you always and take care of it. But the doll is not with you now. The child replied, can’t you see my condition mom, it’s all because of your doll. The mother replied, this is where you are wrong my child. When I gave you the doll, you were at the growing up stage, and you had lot of energies in you, which could be used in right or wrong direction. So I gave you this doll which will always take up of your extra energies and keep you stable and grounded. So your energies are used in the required direction and you grow financially and emotionally. The doll was your good luck doll, You neglecting your good luck and slowly you started getting deteriorated. Your ego came in that you were earning and winning, but you never realized that it was the good luck of the doll and the care you were taking of it, the good luck was diverting to you. Infact you have been given the golden spoon. Others had to strive through to get what they want in life. The happiness you see in them it’s because of the struggle they went through to get it, and when you just get into their lives you will see, that they have to do many sacrifices to achieve what they desire, without that they can’t achieve, which you were getting. Now I free you my child you decide what you want, the doll who is a good luck doll and bring back the life back you enjoyed, or where you are now, start and work with your own struggles. The mother disappeared and when he woke up in the morning, felt at peace, had his morning bath and went to the old house where the doll was left. He was surprised to see that when he opened the door, the house was shining and looking as a new house, neat and clean and no smell or cobwebs. He was surprised to see it.
All of a sudden an old lady came and said, ‘sir you have come back sir, good I wished you come back to your house’. On asking she said, I am a maid in the nearby house, I have been working here since long, use to observe you and would always envy that my employees are so irritable and pitiful family inspite of being so rich. And your house is so small but there is always a feeling of peace and love whenever I pass by your house. When you left from here, I could not see dirt surrounding the house and so came in and cleaned the house and even your doll whom you use to adore. Then when I left from your house. That day my boss had a good rise in his salary and he raised my payment too. So I felt your house as lucky and started to maintain its cleanliness. Sorry Sir if you dint like it.
He understood what his mother was saying, he recollected the whole dream. He took the help of that maid and shifted everything to back to this house and holded the doll and hugged it tight and said sorry I misunderstood you, I thought you were a hurdle to my success, but never realized that I was success only because of you, I dint come with a luck of my own. It’s always give and take in any relationship. Here you were a more giver than me, though it looked I was the giver since you don’t have a living body like us which makes noise, whose heart beat is heard, eye balls move. We perceive what we see or hear and not what we do. You were selfless to me. The work of a selfless person is not seen, weather living or non living, it’s how you look at things. I have realized my mistake. I was a lucky person, made myself unlucky with my own thoughts.
It’s only my thoughts and my energies where I utilize them is more important, not seeing what others are doing or getting.
We all have come with our set of luck and keep open to receive good luck and express gratitude to what you have, then see how universe will give you back in abundance which will surprise you.
