NEVER FORGET!
One Glass of Milk Paid in full One day!!
A poor boy, who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, he was very hungry. He decided, he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve, when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly and then asked, βHow much do I owe you?β
βYou donβt owe me anything,β she replied. βMother has taught us never to accept payment for kindness.β
The boy said, βThen I thank you from the bottom of my heart.β As Gurmukh Singh left that house, he not only felt stronger physically but his faith in God and man increased also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Yearβs later, that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Gurmukh Singh was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctorβs gown, he went in to see her. He recognized her at once! He went back to the consultation room, determined to do his best to save her life. From that day onwards, he gave special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Singh requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, wrote something on the end of it and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay it all. Finally, she looked and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She began to read the following words: βPaid in full with one glass of milk,β Signed Dr. Gurmukh Singh.
Gurmukhs (Guru's followers) never forget the love given by others, they treasure it and always repay it with even more spiritual love. No materialistic gift is needed, when the gift of true, genuine love is offered. They always remain Kind and humble. Love is the most precious gift anyone can develop. When we truly learn how to unconditionally love by killing our ego through Naam, that's when we realise the purity of Vaheguroo (God) within.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji Says, "I speak Truth, all should turn their ears towards it: One who is absorbed in True Love, would realise God within."
Vaheguroo!
