Sculptor and Stone: Inspirational Story

Once a sculptor was cutting a stone with a chisel and a hammer to give it the shape of an idol. When the stone was being cut, it was very painful.

The stone tolerated for a while, but soon its patience was answered.

He said angrily, "Enough!" Can not be endured anymore Leave me I can't bear your blow anymore… Go away from here! "

The sculptor explained, "Don't be impatient! I am carving you as an idol of God. If you can bear the pain of a few days, then people will worship you throughout your life… People from far and wide will come to see you. Day and night priests will be in your care. "

And by saying this, he had taken up his tools, saying that the stone became angry, "Let me live my life on my own ... I know what is good for me, what is bad ... I am lying here comfortably ... Go away I am even a little Can not bear the trouble! "

But his talk had no effect on the stone, he remained adamant on what he said.

The sculptor moved forward leaving the stone there.

In front of him, he saw another good stone. He picked her up and made her idol.

The second stone tolerated pain and he became an idol of Bhagwan, people started offering him flowers and garlands, people started coming to see him from far and wide.

Then one day another stone was brought to that temple and it was placed in a corner. He was used to break coconut. He was none other than the same stone who refused to touch the sculptor.

Now he was regretting that if he had endured pain at the same time, today he would have been asked in the society… would be respected… some days of pain would have saved him from this lifetime of suffering!

Friends, this is the right time for us to decide whether we have to bear pain today or have fun now and then have to bear the pain of a lifetime. Today you are preparing for any competitive exam… whatever skill you are trying to acquire… whatever sport you are trying to excel in… put your 100% effort into it… let it be your problems… Do not give up… Just bear it like that other stone and achieve your goal so that you do not have to suffer all your life like the first stone.
