What is the value of your life?
If someone asks you this question then just think what would be your answer. You could be very confused about what would be the value of my life? But the story I am going to tell you with that you would know exactly what is the real value of your life.
Once upon a time in a village, there was a person who was very upset with this question: what is the value of his life?
So he goes to a priest to know about the answer to this question and he sees that the priest is in meditation. So he does not say anything and just sits there.
When the “Saint” finishes with his meditation, he sees that a person is there and he is very upset. So the saint asked that person “what do you want to ask”?
That “person” says that “Maharaj” I am very upset and I want to know what is the value of my life? What is the value of my life that God has given me?
Then that “Saint” Smiles and calls him toward himself, and gives him a big Red Stone and tells him to take this Red stone in the market and, try to sell it, But don't sell it let just try to know about the value of this Red stone. If anyone asks you how much would you give it for then, don't say anything just show him two fingers.
Now that “Person” goes to the market. When he goes to the market a “Potato seller” sees him and asks that the stone you are carrying you want to sell it.
“Person,” says yes I want to sell it.
“Potato seller,” asked him, `` you will sell it in how much.
“Person” recalls the saint's words as the saint said that don't say the value to anybody just show two fingers.
He shows two fingers.
Now “Potato seller,” say that you would take two KG potatoes for this the ok give me the stone I would give you two KG potatoes.
he does not say anything... He goes back to the saint and says that I went to the market, a potato seller who was ready to give me two kgs of potato.
“Maharaj,” says ok now do one thing, take it in the museum and try to sell it there but don't sell just know the price and come back.
“Person” goes in the museum: In the museum, he sees a very old man it seems he is looking much knowledgeable, very much knowledgeable
He went and showed that stone to that old man.
“Old man,” asked, `` you want to sell at how much cost?
that "Person" does not say anything, just shows two fingers as the saint said:
“Old man,” says oh! that you would take two lakh for the stone. ok... I am ready to give you 2 lakh rupees give me the stone.
“Saint,” says that don't worry... now go in the city and in the city go to the biggest jeweler take the stone to him, don't sell as I said previously just know the price and come back.
He takes the stone to the city and when he arrives at the jewelry shop, the jeweler sees the stone, and his eyes are torn like what he has seen... He takes it in his hands and sees it from everywhere and asks the person, ``Do you know what you have in your hand. It is a Ruby and this big Ruby I have never seen.
This Ruby's cost in the whole city in the whole Nation no one can give you but then also if you want to sell it then, how much money would you take.
“Person” does not say anything just shows two fingers ok 20000000. Let me tell you 2 crore Rupees are very less for this Ruby but then, also I am ready to give you 2 crore for this Ruby. Give me this now.
that “Person” is very much shocked it does not understand what is happening?
“Person” came running from the city to the saint, and he was very shocked. He said that the jeweler was ready to give 2 crore rupees for this stone what is there in the stone please tell me
“Saint,” says there is nothing in the stone. This stone is your life, your surroundings, the people with whom you stay with according to that the value of your life is done like that of the stone.
When you went to a Potato seller then the person was ready to give you two kgs potatoes the person who had some knowledge was ready to give you 2 lakh and the person who was an expert who knew the real value he would have said you that this is unordinary and he was ready to give you 2 crore for that stone because he also knows that there is a lot of value of the stone.
So the value of your life is also what you accept, Now this life is priceless.
As you live among people, so will your life.
Moral of Story:
Now If you have got to know the value of your life then just check, with whom you live around. Such people who know your value of life and respect you or you live around such people where you are not able to grow who do not understand the value of your life. If you change your company then your life can change and this is a proven formula. “Change your surroundings to change your life” from today the people you stay in are you ready to change them... if they are negative then are you ready to go in a positive environment. If yes then change your environment from negative to positive and stay in such surroundings stay with such people who know the value of your life.
"Take special care of association because success always comes from good thoughts and good ideas come from contact with good people".
"Make sure that you do not begin to see yourself through the eyes of those who do not value you. Even if they don't know your value"
