In English
Many people go to places of pilgrimage with much pomp, wearing costly ornaments and fine clothes. Naturally, thieves abound these places. Once a rich man set out on a pilgrimage. A thief saw this rich man carrying a bag of money. Wishing to steal the bag by con, the thief approached him, pretending to be a good guide. All through the day, they travelled together, and at night they halted in a hotel. They were sleeping in side by side beds. In the middle of the night, the thief saw the businessman going to the toilet. He thought it was the right time to steal the bag of money. The thief searched for the bag all over the room. He was disappointed because he could not find it. The reason was that the businessman had kept his bag right under the pillow of the thief. The thief went on searching without knowing that it was under his own pillow. The businessman could save his money by his intelligence. One should have intelligence, but misuse of intelligence can result in sorrow as in the case of this thief. The thieves of desire, anger, greed, etc., are present within us. The ignorant one is not aware of it. People are interested in searching faults of others, while ignoring their own grave mistakes and shortcomings. To search others faults is a vicious trait. To search one’s own faults is a sacred trait. Valuables are within us not outside. Search truth within you.
