Being Truly Rich - Part 1
The man hid the diamond in his belt without telling his wife or family and spent the night without a wink of sleep. The image of the calm and serene sanyasi returned to his mind again and again and he resolved to visit him the next morning as a balm for his fevered mind.
Early in the morning, feeling exhilarated but also confused at the gift he had received he approached the sanyasi and after touching his feet said,"Oh revered master, I have not slept all night worrying about the wealth that the Lord has bestowed upon me.

The man would spend all day in devotion to Lord Shiva and take great joy in serving Him in the poor who came to receive the various services from the trust. He knew that it was all God's mysterious plan he was simply the Lord's humble instrument.
