Interference In Family Business

There was a young man in a small town who was very poor from birth. He aspired to become a wealthy man in his life to provide his family with everything they lacked. Believing in the adage "Harder you work, luckier you get," he toiled hard, fighting poverty in his youth until he could open his own shop. He made hay when the sun was shining and was proud of his achievements, ensuring his family had all the comforts.

His success gained him widespread recognition in the business community, earning respect for his skills and tactics. Despite having capable sons, he hesitated to hand over his business, fearing their ability to manage it. Though they efficiently ran the business, he couldn't resist interfering, causing friction with his sons.

Recognizing their father's overbearing behavior, the sons devised a plan to remove him from the business without hurting his feelings. They proposed a religious pilgrimage, citing their duty to the creator and their gratitude for their successful lives. Reluctantly, the father agreed, realizing he had no other choice.

As the parents prepared for their journey, they reflected on their life's journey, perplexed by their sons' actions. They ultimately concluded that their sons meant well, despite their conflicting thoughts. They bid farewell to their business and family, silently enduring their sorrow.

The night before their departure, they surprised their sons with saffron clothes, symbolizing their future need in old age. They left for their pilgrimage, sacrificing their hard-earned wealth, teaching a lesson about the futility of greed and the importance of enjoying life's blessings.

This story tells that it is useless to be greedy for earning a lot of wealth for family and their offspring as sufficient unto the day is the evils thereof. Such people waste their time and energy for earning wealth without enjoying their valuable life. Animals only eat that much amount what they need for the day. They never eat excess or store food for the next day like human beings. If each man adopts the animal’s act, no man will be hungry on this earth. He has no pain of leaving his wealth while taking his last breath.
