An excerpt from the book ‘Gloom behind
the Smile’
It is amazing to see some cities and states
losing people to other dynamic urban areas. This has also been happening across
countries and continents. I guess this how civilizations kept moving from one
place to another. I was reading about a Sikh Guru. He once visited a village
and stayed there for a few days and then prepared to leave. While he was leaving
he blessed the village by saying ‘May you prosper by staying here only.’ Guru moved
on and as night was setting in he camped in another village and stayed there
for a couple of days and enjoyed their hospitality. While leaving he blessed
the village by saying ‘May you prosper and move to other parts of the world.’ A
keen follower asked the Guru as to why he had given two types of blessings to
his disciples in respective villages. The Guru replied that the people of the
first village, though looked after me, were not very cultured and therefore, I blessed
them but prayed to God that they should not move out and spread their culture. I
found the second village well cultured and I wished to the Almighty that these
people should prosper and travel to other parts of the world so that they
spread the light of their sweetness and culture everywhere.
