A SURE END TO THE ENDLESS ADVISING!
Just then a gust of wind thru' the open window turned over a few pages to Chapter III of the Great Scholar and the Saint Bhartruhari's Nitishatakam lying on the table pointing to the Sloka..
'labheta sikataasu tailam api yatnataha piiooayan
pibec ca mrugatrushshikaasu salilaha pipaasaarditah
kvacid api parayat an sa sa vishaasham aasaadayat
na tu pratinivishta muurkha cittam aaraadhayet'
Meaning..
'We may extract oil from a fistful of sand,
Quench our thirst by drinking water from a Mirage,
Fetch the horn of a rabbit by going around the world
But can never appreciate / understand a fool's mind!'
Which instantly put an end to the relentless advising done till then!

- “Yes! Money is the most precious entity in our lives.. It is rightly said, take care of the pennies, pounds will take care of themselves..
- "Dear! The Saying applies only to those people who spend away monies lavishly without thinking of future. Monies are basically meant for living a standard life and growing up. A percentage of it should necessarily go on charity too and the remaining alone should be our savings..
- "You know.. We often waste many of our day to day consumables without our own knowledge.. Many times excess are bought, some items are not properly stored and equal number of them are physically thrown away in small quantiles without our knowledge..
- "Dear! What's the point in living a life all along thinking of such savings forgetting other important aspects of living? At one stage we have to leave all this and go from this world, isn't it? And at the back of such monies with us, the children too do not carry the right respect for us..
- "Money need not always be in cash or in an asset form. A facility extended to us by our company is also money paid, nothing less at any point of time..
- "Dear! The facilities are given to us to see that we do the assigned work well in an environment conducive for the Company's growth and business expansion. We should never convert that into money and feel paid thus..
- “I'm eligible for all this medical treatment given by my company. See, such a nice room is given to me with phone, TV and internet facilities. There's extra space too for another person to stay and help out..
- "Leave all that dear! Thank God, the problem has gone light for you else these types of accidents a few times may......
- “See! As I look out through this window of my room in our hospital, I see the beautiful garden in front of me with thick bushy trees at a distance standing over the green lawns. For the days I'm here, am sitting in this comfortable chair relaxing and having my evening tea..
- "Dear! See the reality once. All this can be enjoyed only if we are all right; isn't it? Your stars are good else.....
- “I forgot to mention one more thing. All this is given along with a special leave from my work which is nothing but money paid indirectly..
