Monk & the Rich man

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: IF NOTHING EVER WENT WRONG IN YOUR LIFE, YOU WOULD NEVR HAVE A CHANCE TO GROW STRONGER.

There was a young monk who was begging from house to house. There came a Rich Person who was super arrogant and egoist. The rich man started scolding the monk in bad words and abusing the monk for no reasons. The monk was still cool, calm and composed. The rich man got wilder because he thought that the monk will loose his temper. So he started shouting more and more on top of his voice & started to insult the monk. Still there was no reaction from the monk. The rich man called him to come closer to him and then pushed him into the mud. The monk fell down and all his belongings scattered. But still the monk did not say anything and was very cool. This perplexed the Rich Man so he called him and asked the secret of the monk’s coolness.


The monk did not reply directly, but asked the rich man who was sitting on the horse. Sir, whose horse is this?
Rich Man: Mine obviously

Monk: If you give me this horse whose will it become?
Rich Man: I do not want to give you the horse but if I give you the horse it will belong to you.

Monk: Good, you want to give but I do not accept the horse, then whose will it become?
Rich Man: If you do not accept the horse it will be mine, obviously.

Monk: You gave me so many Bad Words, I did not accept any. So, everything you scolded now is yours!
