Good One
A young man was
getting ready to Graduate College . For
many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in
a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could
well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As
Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited
signs that his father had purchased the car.Finally,
on the morning of his graduation his father called
him into his private study. His father told him how
proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him
how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful
wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed
the young man opened the box and found a lovely,
leather-bound Bhagavadgitha. Angrily, he raised his
voice at his father and said, "With all your money
you give me a Bhagavadgitha?" ! and stormed out of the
house, leaving the holy book. He never contacted his
father again for a long time. Many years passed and
the young man was very successful in business. He
had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but
realized his father was very old and thought perhaps
he should go to him.He had not seen him since that
graduation day.Before he could make arrangements, he
received a telegram telling him his father had passed
away, and willed all of his possessions to his son.
He needed to come home immediately and take care of
things.When he arrived at his father's house, sudden
sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to
search his father's important papers and saw the
still new Bhagavadgitha, just as he had left it
years ago.With tears, he opened the Bhagavadgitha and
began to turn the pages. As! he read those words, a
car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the
Bhagavadgitha. It had a tag with the dealer's name,
the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.
On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the
words PAID IN FULL. How many times do we miss GODS
blessings because they are not packaged as we
expected? If this touched your heart, please pass it
on, does not matter what religion you belong
to...the message is for everyone....
