GOD CANNOT BE CHEATED

       A farmer living in a village near Tirupati (in Andhra) was suffering from typhoid fever and in those days there was no cure or any medical treatment.

       He prayed to Lord Balaji, the famous presiding deity of  Tirupati – 

       ‘‘Lord, if I become allright and healthy in two days' time, I shall sell off  the only bull I possess and offer the entire sale proceeds to your temple Hundi (Donation Box). Please help me this time and I shall never forget you.’’ 

        By Lord’s Grace he recovered completely in two days' time. The bull he had was worth Rs. 4,000 and as a poor farmer  he was reluctant to sell off the bull. 

        He devised a plan !

        He  had  a  small  chicken  costing  Rs. 20.  He  put  up  an advertisement in his street as also in the market place –

‘‘A package deal’’

A bull  is  for sale for one rupee and a chicken  for  Rs. 3,000

and  both  will  have  to  be  purchased together.

They will not be sold separately.

    As the sale price for both together came to Rs. 3001 as against the cost of Rs. 4,000 for a bull alone, someone purchased both together. As the farmer had announced the sale price of the bull at Re. 1/-, he promptly took the one rupee coin and put it into the Hundi of Lord Balaji.

He purchased another bull for  his use in

his  farm. Unluckily  that  bull  died  of  a

                    mysterious  disease  within  two months.

One should never try to cheat God.

          If one was rash enough to make an impossible vow he could approach the Lord Himself to release him from such a vow and to forgive him. God is all merciful and all prayers will be answered..
