Love and Kindness - The greatest virtues
There was a priest in a small village of Ram Nagar. He was poor but was rich by heart. He lived in his small hut with his sister. Though he was poor, he was always ready to help the poor and needy person of his village. Due to his generosity, he was respected by everybody in the village. His sister Santha was completely opposite to him. She was not as charitable as her brother. Even she didn’t like her brother to be so innocent and charitable. Sometimes people took advantage of his innocence. In order to help others, he was ready to sacrifice anything. Once the priest was meditating at night and praying to almighty. Santha went to her room to sleep. A thief broke into the house. He put a knife on the neck of the priest and said, “If you will shout, you’ll be a dead man”. The priest said, “What do you want my son.” The thief was very surprised when the priest addressed him as son’. He said, “I am hungry, give me food. The priest gave him the food, his sister had kept for him. When the priest went to bring some clothes for him, the thief saw a tin box. He thought the priest must keep money in this.” He stole it and slipped away. But the cops saw him slipping away from the priest’s house. They caught him and brought to priest. The priest told the cops, “He is my friend, please release him”. The cops released him and went away. The thief was very thankful to the priest for saving him from police and promised him to leave all the wrong ways and live an honest life.
