Nagabandha
With the messages of Morality, Harmony and De-addiction Ahimsa Yatra reached Nagabandha today. School students and local citizens along with lay followers were engrossed in the Prime Sermon.
Today's Prime Sermon was based on Honesty. His Holiness preached this through short a story. Some boys were studying in a school. A math teacher of class two or three wanted to take a test of the students to check if they grasped the maths formula or not. Therefore he asked a student - What does your father do?
The student replied - My father runs a grocery shop.
Teacher - Ok, now tell me if one 1 kg wheat costs Re. 1 and if a customer pays Rs. 10 then how much wheat will your father give him?
The teacher asked a simple question to a small child. The child was intelligent; he gave in a little thought and replied.
Student - Sir, if 1 kg wheat costs Re. 1 and the customer wants to buy it against Rs. 10, then my father will give him 9 kg of wheat.
Teacher - Why 9 kg? Doesn't your father know math?
The student was very clever, he replied - Sir, my father knows math but unfortunately you do not know my father. He is an expert. He can do chicanery very easily of 1kg wheat from 10 kg.
This was the matter of knavery. So we should not cheat anyone. Cheating is a sin.
