Happiness……………
Go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor,
A king once asked his sage how to find lasting happiness. The sage said: Sir, you must wear the shirt of a happy man for a day.” The king sent out messengers in search of a happy man. One of them was directed to a beggar who people said lived an extremely happy life. When he contacted the man, the messenger was highly impressed. the beggar certainly exuded happiness. “Can you lend me your shirt for a day.” the messenger asked. “The King needs it.” “I\’m sorry,” replied the beggar. “I would have been delighted to oblige. But the fact is, I have no shirt.”
A wealthy man was on his deathbed. He called the priest and asked him: “If I donate a hundred million rupees to the Church, will I get to heaven?”The priest answered:”There is no harm in trying, though I cannot guarantee you anything. Your wealth is going to be left behind, so why not try?”
