Educated Beggar

Once upon a time in the village of "Kotti," there was a beggar named "Raju." He was elderly and wore old, unwashed clothes. He always sat on the footpath and behaved like a monk. Near him, there was a tea stall, and in that tea stall, there was a child named Aman.

Aman had no parents; he was an orphan and used to beg a few days ago. He had gone to the same tea shop to beg, but the owner, Kashyap, sent him away after seeing him begging and having breakfast. When this happened every day, Kashyap made him an offe

Kashyap told him, "Son, I cannot feed you for free every day, and not only me, but any of your relatives will also feed you for free. They will also play with you for a few days and then tell you clearly." So, Kashyap told him that he needed a laborer to take care of his shop. If Aman did that, he would receive food three times a day and 1000 Rs per month.

Aman started doing the same work, and although he thought of studying many times, Kashyap didn't want him to study and work somewhere else away from his shop.

On the other hand, Aman considered Kashyap to be like a god because he had given him a good life.

One day, Raju, the beggar on the pavement, came to his shop and said, "Son, may I have some tea? I am feeling hungry." Aman gave him biscuits along with tea, and then Raju left.

For many days, Raju didn't show up, and Aman asked many people about him, but no one knew anything. Raju tried to meet the old beggar and talk to him, but he couldn't find him.

After a few days, Raju was going somewhere from the shop and saw an old man on the way. He gave him some money and asked, "Baba, do you know Raju Bhikhari?" The old man replied, "Who is Raju? You mean that saintly man? He's not a beggar but a Sufi saint!"

"He is very great and knowledgeable, but people call him mad because he's always doing something unusual. Ill? Disabled? You want to meet him? He lives near a cave in the jungle behind here." Raju immediately went to meet that Raju, the saint. He was surprised to see a great saint who seemed lost in prayer, unaware of day and night.

Raju called him and said, "Baba, I am Aman!" The saint opened his eyes, got up from his prayer, and blessed him. He said, "Son, I came here for you, to tell you that you should be grateful to Kashyap, but don't sacrifice your life for his greed. I saw a glimpse of your success in my dreams. When it comes to favors, repay them later in your own way."

"Don't waste your life for anyone. You've received help, but not to the extent that I had when I sat on that footpath." Aman understood everything and left for a new direction in his life after telling his boss.
