BE HAPPY

HAPPY

              Once there were 2 saints who were doing penance in a forest. Their name were Siddha and Buddha. Siddha was always serious in his penance. He will not waste a single minute. Buddha was always a jovial in his penance.

                        Sage Naradha was walking along the forest. Siddha saw sage naradha, he bowed to him and asked him, where he was going ? Sage Naradha replied he was going to Vaikuntha for the darshan of Lord MahaVishnu. He became more serious on hearing this. He asked Naradha to enquire the Lord, when he will get moksha (birth less state) ? Naradha consented for it.

                        Sage naradha walked fast but he was stopped by Buddha. Buddha bowed to him and asked where he was going ? Sage replied he was going to Vaikuntha. Buddha asked  Naradha that when he will get moksha ? Naradha told he will ask to Lord MahaVishnu. Sage Naradha went to vaikuntha loka and had darshan of Lord MahaVishnu.

                        Naradha returned from vaikuntha to meet Siddha. Naradha told siddha that he has to wait for 3 more births to attain moksha. Siddha became sad and lamented that he had done penance for many years but still he has 3 more births.

                        Naradha met Buddha. Naradha pointed to a Banyan tree in the forest, told Buddha had to wait as many births as leaves in that banyan tree.

Buddha was very happy on hearing this. Sage naradha was surprised to see this. Buddha danced like anything while singing that god is going to give him moksha so soon. Lord MahaVishnu was very much pleased by Buddha’s words. He appeared in front of him immediately and granted him moksha.

                        Moral of the story is those who are happy will always succeed in life, So always be happy.
