Once, past midnight, a rich man was lying on his bed but was not getting sleep. He was tossing and turning, but it was, to no avail. Finally, he got tired of lying on the bed, and decided to go out in the night for some fresh air and change. He came out of his house and started his car and decided to go for a long drive. On the way after driving for a while he saw a temple. He was not a very ritualistic person, and seldom visited temples. But God knows what happened to him that day that he decided to suddenly stop and have God’s darshan.
When he entered the temple it was three in the morning. The temple was still and quiet. He found a person sitting there alone. The person looked very despondent, as if, he had a huge problem on his head.
The rich man enquired, ‘What is the matter friend, why are you sitting in the temple all alone at this hour?’
The man replied, ‘I have no recourse. God is my last bet. My wife is very serious. She is in the hospital and needs to undergo a vital surgery by morning, failing which she might die.’
The rich man heard the poor person and decided to do something for him. He took out his wallet and pulled out all the money and gave it to the person. ‘Here this is for your wife’s operation. If you require more here is my card with my telephone number. Please call me for help anytime.’
‘The poor person took the money but returned the card.’ The rich man was surprised at this behaviour of his.
‘He asked, ‘Why did you return my card?’
The poor person replied, ‘I have that person’s number and address.’
‘Which person and which address?’ Asked the rich man.
‘The person who sent you to help me at three in the morning. His name is God. So this card is not required.’
The rich man was shocked at the poor man’s reply. A new ideation erupted in his mind—God has a plan for each living being on earth. He left for his home and went on to have a sound sleep.
