Have you ever come across events in Life which are hidden with pearls of wisdom? May be or may be not. This Inspirational and Motivational story is really heart touching, which was experienced by Management Guru, N Raghuraman duringone of his pilgrimage to Shirdi, the Abode of Sai Baba.
In his column Management Funda, he narrates an incident where an old man lost his wallet,which was found by a young aristocratic man. The old man comes to know that the wallet is in safe hands and stakes claim to his wallet. The man asks the old man to reveal the contents of the purse. The old man says besides a petty amount there is a photograph of Sai Baba. The man reminds him that all the devotees would carry a photograph of Sai Baba and it is quite common especially in Shirdi.
In the meantime some shopkeepers came in support of the old man, that the wallet was indeed his, by this time even the young man was convinced that the wallet did belong to that old man. But before handing over the wallet to the old man, he asked him why doesn't he keep the picture of his family?
The old man was expecting this and what he later told, was an eye opener for all which had left many of the bystanders including N. Raghuraman shocked and numb. The old man said that the wallet was gifted to him by his father, for saving money. He was so over whelmed that he started keeping his parents pictures,later in his youth he started keeping his picture and later when he got married he kept his wife picture, which soon got replaced by the picture of his twin sons.
As time passed by his wife passed away and now with the present lifestyle of his sons they don't have time for their father. This has left him disillusioned, and since past one year he has found solace under Sai Baba at Shirdi.
Everyone was in tears, the old man continues, and says, like how he had loved his family,if he had remembered God the life would have been better and without any expectations, because unlike his Family, Lord Sai Baba shall never leave him.
The moral of this inspiring and motivating story is that sometimes we don't recognize the value of small events in our life which has the whole world of wisdom in it.
कभी-कभी छोटी घटनाओं में ज्ञान के मोती छिपे होते हैं

कुछ दिनों पहले ही मैं शिरडी गया। वहां मैंने देखा कि एक व्यक्ति सड़क किनारे मिले बटुए के असली मालिक को तलाश रहा है। इस बटुए में 280 रुपए थे और साई बाबा की तस्वीर भी। कुछ देर बार एक बुजुर्ग व्यक्ति उसके पास आया और कहने लगा कि बटुआ उसका है। जिस व्यक्ति को बटुआ मिला था वह काफी संभ्रांत लग रहा है। अच्छे कपड़े पहने हुए थे।
उसने बुजुर्ग से कुछ सवाल पूछना शुरू कर दिए। ताकि यह पक्का कर सके कि उसका दावा सही है या नहीं। उस व्यक्ति ने बुजुर्ग से कहा, 'मैं यह बटुआ किसी गलत व्यक्ति के हाथ में नहीं दूंगा।' उसने उनसे कहा, 'आप साबित करें कि बटुआ आपका ही है। बुजुर्ग ने कहा, 'इसमें साई की तस्वीर है।' युवक ने पलटकर कहा, 'शिरडी में साई की तस्वीर वाले बटुए मिलना आम बात है।'
