SHORT MORAL STORY
“God Does Nothing, he only maintains the balance sheet of our actions. We get what we do. Be a doer and reap the benefit”.

Ramdhyal was a very devotee to God. He
had a firm belief that God is responsible for everything that happens in our
life. Since God has been doing
everything, man can do nothing without his consent.
One day, Ramdayal is in the midst of
his prayer to God. The nearest river was flooded by heavy and incessant rains.
The floodwaters began to intensify. Fearing the possibility of flooding, people
were carrying their essentials to safe places. There was no other way to
escape from the imminent flood danger. Some people in the village expressed
sympathy and told Ramdayal let’s move to a safe place now. The flood may be
fatal after some time. It seems the dam can break at any moment. If the dam broke
down, the village would be submerged in heavy floods in no time.
Ramdayal stated to them, "You can
go as you wish. Almighty will protect me. He will not let anything happen to
me. The villager's prediction was right. The dam broke down & floodwaters
entered the village.
Some people were rescuing others who
were still in their houses. They saw Ramdayal was sitting helplessly on the top
of his thatched house. They called upon him to rescue. He denied their request
and said arrogantly, God’s blessing is with me. I have faith in him. He will
not let rainwater harm me. You can go.
The water level was gradually
rising. Ramdayal was reciting hymns in the name of the Lord. Suddenly, he saw his
neighbor was sailing on the flood water with the help of a dried tree. Seeing Ramdayal,
he yelled run away rapidly, you will be submerged with the house. Ramdayal,
however, did not pay heed to his saying.
After a while, the hut collapsed and
Ramdayal began to float in the current. He shouted and said- O God! Why did you
betray me? I chanted your name throughout my life. At this juncture, instead of
helping me out, you cheated me.
He listened to a sound, Ramdayal! I have tried
several times to help you out. At first, I sent your neighbors, and they requested
you to come along. Secondly, I sent a boat, but you declined it. Thirdly, the tree
floated before you, you didn’t take help. Where is my mistake here? Now, you
will get the result of your action. I extend to help people in one way or
another. There is nothing wrong with that.
