एक हृदयस्पर्शी बोध-कथा

एक हृदयस्पर्शी बोध-कथा
माणुसकीचा झरा
एकदा एक माणूस मॉर्नींग वॉकसाठी बाहेर पडला होता. परत येताना त्याला रस्त्यावरील एका खांबावर एक चिठ्ठी घडी करून अडकवून ठेवलेली दिसली. त्याने कुतुहलाने ती चिठ्ठी उलगडून वाचायला सुरवात केली. ती चिठ्ठी बर्याीच वेडावाकड्या अक्षरांमध्ये लिहिली होती. त्या चिठठीतील मजकूर असा होता.
‘माझी 50 रुपयांची नोट हरवली आहे. मी एक गरीब आणि वृद्ध महिला आहे. ही नोट इथेच कुठेतरी पडली असावी. मी ती नोट शोधायचा प्रयत्न केला पण मला काही ती नोट सापडली नाही. ज्या कुणाला ही नोट सापडेल त्याने ती नोट खालील पत्यावर पोचवण्याची कृपा करावी.’
त्या चिठ्ठीच्या शेवटी पत्ता दिला होता आणि ‘गणपतीच्या देवळाजवळ’ अशी खुण पण सांगीतली होती.
त्या माणसाला काय वाटले कोणास ठाऊक. तो पत्ता शोधत निघाला. हा पत्ता एका गरीब आणि दळिद्री झोपडपट्टीतला निघाला. त्याने त्या वस्तीतील गणपतीचे देऊळ शोधून काढले व त्या पत्यावरील घर पण शोधून काढले. ते घर म्हणजे एक चंद्रमौळी झोपडी होती. झोपडीचे दार बंद होते. त्याने दाराची कडी वाजवली. एका जख्ख म्हातारीने दार उघडले. त्या म्हातारीचे सर्वांग लटपटत होते. काठीचा आधार घेऊन ती कशीबशी उभी होती. शरीर खंगलेले, चेहेरा सुरकुतलेला, गालाची हाडे वर आलेली, अंगावर फाटके कपडे पण चेहेर्याावर स्वाभीमान असे तिचे रूप होते.
‘आजी मला तुमची 50 रुपयांची नोट सापडली! हे घ्या तुमचे पैसे!’ असे म्हणून त्याने खिशातील 50 रुपयांची नोट काढून आजींना दिली.
‘कमाल आहे! माझी हरवलेली 50 रुपयांची नोट देण्यासाठी आत्तापर्यंत 40 माणसे येऊन गेली. तु 41 वा आहेस!’ आजी म्हणाल्या.
‘तुला कोणी सांगीतले माझे पैसे हरवले आहेत म्हणून?’ आजींनी विचारले.
‘मी ते खांबावरच्या चिठ्टीमध्ये वाचले.’ त्या माणसाने उत्तर दिले.
‘एकतर माझे पैसे मुळीच हरवेले नाहीत! दुसरे म्हणजे ती खांबावरची चिठ्ठी मी लिहीलेली नाही. कारण एकतर मला नीट दिसत नाही त्यामूळे मी घरातून बाहेर पडत नाही. तसेच मला लिहीता वाचता पण येत नाही. कोणीतरी खोडसाळपणाने ती चिठ्टी लिहीली आहे. हे तुझे 50 रुपये परत घेऊन जा!’ आजी म्हणाल्या.
‘नको आजी! राहुदे हे पैसे तुमच्याजवळ! तुम्हालाच ते उपयोगी पडतील!’ तो माणूस म्हणाला.
‘कमाल आहे! आत्तापर्यंत जो जो माणूस माझे हरवलेले 50 रुपये परत द्यायला आला त्याला मी पैसे परत घे म्हणून सांगीतले तर प्रत्येकाने हेच उत्तर दिले!’ आजीबाई म्हणाल्या
‘माझे एक काम करशील?’ आजीबाईंनी विचारले.
‘हो सांगाना! तुमचे काम नक्की करीन!’ त्या माणसाने उत्तर दिले.
‘अरे बाबा! जाताना ती खांबावरची चिठ्ठी फाडून टाक. लोकांना उगीच त्रास होतो आणि भुर्दंड बसतो. मी सगळ्यांनाच ती चिठ्ठी फाडून टाकायला सांगीतली. पण अजून कोणी ते काम केलेले दिसत नाही. बहुतकरून विसरले असावेत. निदान तू तरी ते काम करून टाक’ असे म्हणून त्याला धन्यवाद देत त्या आजींनी त्यांच्या झोपडीचे दार बंद केले.
परत जाताना त्या माणसाला त्या खांबावरची चिठ्ठी दिसली. ती चिठ्ठी फाडण्यासाठी म्हणुन तो त्या खांबाजवळ आला आणि थबकला.
त्याच्या लक्षात आले की त्या एका चिठ्ठीमूळे माणुसकीचा झरा वाहू लागला आहे. त्या चिठ्ठीमूळे अनेक लोकांची मदत त्या गरीब आजीबाईंना मिळाली आहे. आपले 50 रुपये गेले पण एका गरजू माणसाला मदत केल्याचा आनंद व समाधान आपल्याला मिळाले. असेच समाधान त्या 40 लोकांना पण मिळाले असेल. ही चिठ्ठी जर आपण फाडून टाकली तर माणुसकीचा झरा आटून जाईल. त्याला ती चिठ्ठी लिहिणार्याच माणसाचे कौतूक वाटले आणि तो चिठ्ठी न फाडताच तेथुन निघुन गेला.
‘माणुसकी नाही! माणुसकी नाही!’ अशी हाकाटी आपण मारत असतो. ‘हल्ली माणुसकी शिल्लक राहीली नाही! माणसाला माणसाची पर्वा किंवा किंमत राहिली नाही’ अशी बोंब ठोकत आपण सगळीकडे फिरत असतो. पण समाजात माणुसकीचे असे ‘सुप्त’ झरे नेहमीच वाहत असतात. फक्त आपल्याला ते दीसत नसतात. माणुसकीचे हे झरेच समाजाला व माणसाला जिवंत ठेवत असतात. असे झरे हेच समाजाच्या जिवंतपणाचे लक्षण असते.
तुम्हाला सुद्धा माणुसकीच्या अशा एखाद्या झर्याेमध्ये सामील होण्याची संधी मिळाली तर ती जरूर घ्या. इतरांना मदत केल्यामूळे जो काही आनंद किंवा समाधान मिळते याचा जरूर अनुभव घ्या!
अर्थात हा अनुभव घ्यायचा की नाही हे तुम्हीच ठरवायचे!

Motivational Stories Positive Thinking

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins!”

He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.”

“Yeah, right, it’s not that easy,” I protested.

“Yes it is,” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.”

I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “If I were any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?”

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.”

“Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?” I asked. Jerry continued, “The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action.”

“What did you do?” I asked.

“Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply… I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.”

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

There is a PROTEST AGAINST  TRANSACTION FEES AND DECREASING RATE OF INTEREST ON OUR DEPOSITS.
Let the banks also experience the public power. They are thieves. Imagine . To withdraw your own money you have to pay service charge to the Bank and you pay Service Tax on the Service Charge to the Govt.

To this end April 06, 2017 will be a no transaction day  with banks. If they don't rollback. Let's plan April 24,25,26, 2017  as no transaction days. We will continue this until there is no roll back on service charges .

Keep spreading this message every 5 days to all ur FB , mails and W App contacts.

It is difficult but not impossible otherwise banks will go on adding various  new charges now and then. RBI Governer is a puppet and has no control nor understands the economics.

This protest is for our benefit to control banks to adding new charges. 

Let's come together and show the
POWER OF UNITY.

Banks have started to increase transaction fee!

Service tax has gone up big time and will increase even more!

We were taxed for earning money.
We are taxed for spending money.
We were taxed for hoarding money.
We are taxed for withdrawing money.
We are taxed for depositing money.
We are taxed for service money
We are taxed (cess)for education
We are taxed for Swatch Bharat
We are taxed for purchase
We are taxed for sales
We are taxed for manufacturing
We are taxed for public Utility
Earning is a crime.
Saving is a crime.
Spending is a crime.
Donating to Political Parties is the only good act.
PLEASE SEND TO ALL YOUR  FRIENDS
