"Oh come on where can that ever happen to me. If that happens I will give half of that to you."
The doctor asked, “If you get fifty thousand
rupees?”
The man replied, “I will give you twenty-five thousand.”
The doctor asked, “If you get one lakh rupees?” The man replied, “I will give you fifty thousand.” The doctor asked, “If you get two lakhs rupees?” The man replied, “I will give you one lakh.” The doctor asked, “If you get five lakhs then?” The man replied, “I will give you two and a half.”
“You will give me two and a half lakhs?” asked the doctor with such surprise that his heart failed and he died on the spot.
It is true that the man who gets carried away by the event invites sorrow. The man who meditates should know this. Even after meditation if he is not able to know this, then he should accept that his meditation has not been successful. If a man's behaviour, conduct and thoughts have not undergone change after meditation then he should know that he has not even entered the meditation chamber. Meditation begins to be successful only
