"Were you feeling shy to demand the salt for
the dal?"
"No, I wanted to test my fortitude in unfavourable
conditions!!"
But after the completion of the meal, Virchandbhai seemed to have got lost in some thought. He wondered that today, Bhaichand had done with his lunch before them; still he uttered not even a single word of complaint about the dal. Why? Was he experiencing hesitation in demanding the salt for the dal?
To inquire, he directly reached Bhaichand's room and with lot of affection, he said, “My dear! It's your own house. Never feel shy in displaying your problems or demanding for your requirements. Today, why didn't you asked for the salt and consumed the tasteless dal" Bhaichand wasn't stuck in any kind of shyness, but he had done that as he was having a different idea in his mind. He clarified, “Uncle! Don't think either. Actually, today I was wishing to examine till what extent am I ready to deal with the unfavorable condition that arrives on my way. Many a times after my diksha, it may happen that I will have to compulsorily consume the food items, even if they are tasteless, and then why not prepare my mind for that purpose from the very moment?"
After hearing this, Virchandbhai was overjoyed and he took Bhaichand in his arms. He felt that he was the most fortunate individual of the world to have received the opportunity to provide shelter to a diksharthi, whose signs of being a legend in the future were visible in such a minor age of 16 years! Just imagine how simple it becomes for a person to deal with the future hardships, who has such a strong positive approach towards life!
