The King and Potter story!!

Once there was a King who had everything, a prosperous kingdom, a kind wife, and good children but still, he was sad.

Once while roaming, he reached a small village where a potter (a person who makes pots, dishes, etc. from baked clay) was selling pots outside the temple, and at his stand, some pots were filled with water and the potter was singing hymns while sitting nearby his stand.

King came to the temple and after coming out of the temple, he saw the potter and sat near him. The potter offered water to King with respect.

King was somewhat impressed by the potter's behavior. Sitting beside him, King started thinking about the potter's earnings.

Thinking about it, King said to him, "Brother, will you come with me to the city?"

The potter replied, "What will I do after going to the city?"

King said, "Well, there you can make lots of pots, a lot more than you make here."

The potter asked, "Then what will I do with those pots?"

King replied, "You will be able to earn a lot of money by selling them."

Potter asked, "Then what will I do with that money?"

King surprised by his question, said, "What will you do with money?? Money is everything."

Now, the potter asked, "Now, you tell me what I will do with that money?"

King said, "You can live a comfortable life and then worship God comfortably."

Listening to this, the potter question to King, "Sorry, but you tell me, what I am doing right now?"

King got silent as if this question shocked him.

Then after a while, King said, "Yes, you are worshiping God comfortably at this time, and as far as I can see you are in complete bliss."

The potter smiled and said, "Yes. That's what I am telling you that happiness can't be bought with money."

King got curious and asked, "Please tell me how to attain such happiness."

The potter replied, "Listen carefully, Reverse your hand."

King asked, "How is that?"

The potter replied, "O King! Do not Ask, Learn to Give.. if you have learned to give then understand that you have stepped on the path of happiness."

Flash: The biggest reason for most people's sorrow in their lives is that whatever they have, they are not happy with it and they are sad about getting what they don't have. People always try to run around looking for something better. They should abandon selfishness and choose charity.

Moral: There is no Greater Happiness than Self-satisfaction. The one who considers Satisfaction as his wealth is the happiest person and he is the king in the true sense. 

"Learn to be happy in what you have, sorrows will go away on their own."
