Saint Dream
Once a saint was going to a city. On his way, he saw a big tree and stopped by to rest for some time. Saint fell asleep. He saw a dream. In his dream, he saw a man who was passing by that way with five donkeys carrying heavy loads, which seemed to be very difficult to carry by donkeys.
Saint asked the man, “What have you kept in these bags which they are not even able to carry?”
Man replied, “These are filled with things for human use. I am taking these to market to sell.”
Saint asked, “OK..! Tell me what are the things in these bags? I want to know too..”
Man replied, “First donkey you see. It is laden with tyranny (cruel and oppressive rule), It is sold at a very high rate.”
Saint asked, “But who will buy tyranny?”
Man replied, “Buyers for this are King and Ruling people that’s why it fetches a high price.”
Saint asked, “What is in the bags of the second horse?”
Man replied, “These bundles are full of arrogance and it’s buyers are scholars.”
The man continued, “Then on the third donkey, there are bags of jealousy and it’s customers are rich people, who are unable to tolerate each other’s progress. There is an influx of people to buy it.”
Saint asked, “What’s in the bags of the fourth donkey?”
Man replied, “Fourth donkey’s bags are full of dishonesty and its customers are business man, who cheat in the market to get a lot of profit from sales.”
Saint was curious and asked, “Then what’s in the bag of the last one?”
Man smiled and said, “It contains a bundle of trickery and its demand is among those who have no work and try to deceive others for their benefits.”
Just then Saint woke up from his sleep and realized that the man he saw in his dream was Satan (Devil) itself who was spreading evil in the world and it’s victims become selfish people with weak mentality.
The only way to avoid becoming a victim of illness is to remember God and have full faith in him.
Moral of the story
While doing any work, it is important to remember that God is watching us. Remembering God keeps us from going Astray (away from the path of Goodness).
