Three Brothers and The Scholar!!

Once a scholar was passing through a village where his childhood friend used to live. He decided to visit his friend's house.

When he arrived at his friend's house, he saw that his friend was living in poverty, along with his two brothers.

Scholar met his friend and after talking for a while. He got up to leave as he didn't want to put a burden on him but his friend asked him to stay. Because his friend insisted, he decided to stay for a night.

In the evening, while talking to his friend, the scholar noticed that his brothers went to the backyard of their house and started smashing out legumes from the legume tree present there.

After that both his friend's brothers took those legumes and went to the market to sell them, to earn some money.

Scholar asked his friend about it and came to know that his friend and brothers are living like that for a long time. They would just sell those legumes every time they needed money.

Later evening when brothers returned, they bought some pluses and flour to make food.

The quantity of food made was so little that it was enough for only two people. Seeing that one brother made an excuse that he is fasting so he won't be eating any food. Another brother said that he had a bad stomach and because of that he won't be able to eat food.

Only friend and scholar sat down to eat.

At night, the scholar couldn't sleep thinking about how to help his friend. Just then an idea came to his mind.

When everyone was asleep, the scholar woke up and picked up an axe, went to the courtyard, cut down that legume tree. After cutting that tree, the scholar ran away overnight.

In the morning, when the friend and his brothers woke up and went to the backyard, they were shocked to see this. When they looked for the scholar and couldn't find him, he understood that it was his doing.

Soon, the crowd gather and everyone started condemning scholar for cutting that tree and destroying only support for the livelihood of the three brothers. All three brothers had tears in their eyes.

3 years passed by.

By chance, the scholar had to pass through that same village. Scholar thought to meet his friend but was afraid to step into the village. He still gathers his courage, even ready to be beaten, he slowly reached in front of his friend's house.

But to his surprise, this time, it was not a hut but a big house at the place of his friend's hut. When the scholar knocked at the door. Seeing scholar's friend and his brothers fell at his feet crying.

His friend welcomed him inside and said, "That day you cut down that legume tree, our only income source, and left." We were very angry with you.

But now we understand why you had cut that legume that night. As long as we live with the support, we couldn't have progressed.

If you had not cut that legume tree that day, "We wouldn't have thought of working again and lived in poverty like that forever. When we lost that source and looked for ways to earn our livelihood. We worked hard and became prosperous."

Flash: Whenever there is support, we adapt to being impoverished in laziness. We don't do anything until darkness surrounds us. Such trees are planted in every sphere of our life and if we are stuck then we need to cut such trees in one stroke because that's the only way to progress.

We must come out of our comfort zone to live a successful life.?

Moral: The greatest weapon against any problem is our ability to choose one thought over another. The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell or a Hell of Heaven.

"The mind is the source of all suffering, and it is also the source of all happiness."
