🤔 The Struggling Priest's Dilemma

This paragraph introduces the story of a kingdom named Shuram and its king, Vishnu Vardan. The focus is on the priest, D Sharma, who excels in astrology but struggles to support his family due to his lack of motivation to perform his duties. His wife urges him to earn a living, but he remains steadfast in his belief that astrological blessings are imminent. Despite his daily presence at the king's court, he refrains from praising the king like other priests, leading to no financial reward. The king eventually takes notice of D Sharma's consistent presence and inquires about his intentions.

😕 The Unfolding of Fate and Misfortune

In this paragraph, the priest D Sharma is granted a sum of 200 gold coins by the king, but his life does not improve as he believes in the inevitability of his astrological fate. He hides the money, which is subsequently stolen by thieves. Despite this, D Sharma maintains his faith in astrology, leading to further financial assistance from the king. The king, skeptical of D Sharma's beliefs, challenges the power of fate by giving him a thousand gold coins and ensuring his protection. D Sharma, however, loses the money again, this time to a crow that pushes it into a well, illustrating the continuous cycle of misfortune that he attributes to his predetermined fate.

After several months, the tree where he hid money is uprooted, revealing the lost gold coins. Similarly, the gold coins from the well are discovered during construction work. The king, now convinced of D Sharma's good fortune, allows him to keep all the money and live a prosperous life. The story ends on a positive note, with the priest enjoying happiness and contentment, attributing his success to his faith in God and astrology.

wrong for us to wait but it is very wrong for us  to not work I a man who prices the God I do not  

need to use my tongue to price a king then that  is your wish I cannot help you for any more with  

this the priest finally listened to what his wife  said and he goes towards King's place over there  

he sits with another priest and he tries to talk  to them since most of the priests are brahmans  

they all were praising the King after seeing them  he thinks to himself I seriously don't understand  

what does the king gain from having these people  constantly prising him every single day I don't  

think I can ever stood so low like this I think I  must just tell the king that my situation is very  

bad and I must get some money to feed my family I  don't know how it can get any better of this after  

meeting over the king gave out money to all the  people who praised him but the king did not give  

any money to D Sharma after a while Gods took  D Sharma and sent him back to his home D Sharma  

then reached the home after reaching the home  his wife came and she asked him like this what  

has happened as the king not given you everything  you went there and you did what you could do but  

why haven't you gotten paid for anything yes they  gave a lot of money to everybody but since I was  

far away I couldn't get what I want if you would  have just stuck to the plan and stayed with them  

and praised the king like you were supposed to you  could have gotten a lot of money but now we both  

don't have any money after listening to what his  wife said the priest was very upset and sad but  

he still did not give up he kept going to King's  place and standing there but he did not get any  

money whatsoever as he kept doing this for weeks  One Fine Day King noticed him and was confused who  

is this priest I have seen him almost every day  he comes here everyday morning but he doesn't do  

any of the pricing that all these other priests do  and he also doesn't get paid for anything yet he  

keeps coming back again and again I really want to  know what has happened I'm very curious the very  

next day the King was about to give them money he  called his gods and said this to them listen to  

me there is a man who is standing right aside all  of them without ever interacting with me he is a  

Brahman man he wears a green cloth I want you to  bring him to me I'm very curious to see what he  

is up to as the other priest was getting paid for  the service Gods spoted DEA Sharma and they took  

him towards the king DEA Sharma also went with  the Gods as soon as the king saw theya Sharma the  

King was very surprised to see the priest he then  looks at the priest and say this to him priest may  

you know what do you want why do you keep coming  here every day and going empty-handed may you know  

what you're looking for after listening to what  the king said priest was quite scared to answer  

but he answered my king I'm very poor man I come  here every day hoping you would give me something  

so that I can feed my family not willing to do  what other priests are doing after listening to  

what the priest said the king immediately takes  some money that he had which was 200 gold coins  

he put it in a bag and gave it to him here keep  this money with you this will help you solve all  

the problems that you have financially this will  help you do what you like and make the best use  

of it after receiving the gift from the king the  priest thought of himself that he was one of the  

most luckiest men because all the astrology about  his future were right and no one can stop him what  

he already predicted see I told you if you would  have gone there and got this earlier we wouldn't  

be struggling so much but it is fine now that we  have the money we can take care of our children  

and we can live a good life after listening to  what his wife said the priest looked at her and  

said this this is all because of my God Ganesha  he had made this happen at the night priest wife  

takes out the money and hides it in a place but  the middle of the night a bunch of Thieves came  

and steal the money take some of the jewells  that they already have the priest wife was  

very upset and she was heartbroken but priest  himself was very very calm why are so worried  

about this my wife I didn't I already told you  that this is nothing but my future that I have  

already predicted in this astrology this is what  will happen and there is nothing that can stop  

my future are you serious a bunch of Thieves  will come and steal our money from our house  

what is what is the connection between them and  astrology I want you to go back to the king and  

tell everything that had happened and get us back  our money lxmi said like this the next day priest  

goes and stands in front of the king like he  always does but the king looked at him and he  

thought to himself like this what is this didn't  I give this man a lot of money yesterday why is  

he still here and he is still wearing the same Tor  outfits in front of me the King was very surprised  

to see the priest he then looks at the priest  and say this to him I thought I gave you money  

yesterday and you were still right in front of me  with your poor clothing what is that you want and  

what has happened to you what did you do with my  money it is written in my astrology that no matter  

what I do or what I have everything will turn into  dust so until I reach the point where I might have  

a good life I request you to kindly help me with  a small amount of money for me to survive for my  

family because nobody can prevent the bad faith  that is happening to me please understand my state  

my king after listening to what the priest said  the king did not have any belief in all the talk  

that he had about the faith and astrology King  said this to him listen priest I don't believe  

in any of the things that you are saying if I want  to I can make you the richest man there ever is I  

shall do everything in my power to keep you rich  and let us see how your astrology affects you  

after this the king immediately takes a bag and  puts thousand gold coins into the bag and he will  

handed it over to the priest the priest realized  that it would be wrong to disagree with the King  

again so he takes the money and he's on the way  to home priest thinks like this to himself if I go  

back now I will not be able to protect my money so  I shall not go to my house right now I shall keep  

it in a safe place in order for me to protect it  because the good time in my life will only start  

after 6 months so he goes to the God's Temple and  he sees a tree nearby the temple he goes towards  

the tree and he decides to hide it over there he  finds it very safe he thinks to himself like this  

this tree looks like the perfect spot for me to  hide this money if I hide it here no one will be  

here able to take it from me I shall keep it here  and I pray to God that nobody takes this hopefully  

my God can give a chance of H to the thieves who  wish to steal money from me again so now I decide  

to hide it here I'm sure it will be safe after  putting the money in the tree the priest walks  

away and Minds his business the king also thinks  about him once in a while the king then calls his  

guards and and he says like this to the gods do  you remember that poor man who used to come and  

visit us once in a while I had given him a  huge sum of money do you know what he is up  

to and what he is doing right now the king asked  him like this from the day the priest came there  

one of the soldiers were witnessing the priest  I told him what is happening yes my king I had  

seen him recently even though you had given him a  lot of money his property is still not gone and he  

does not visit the palace anymore are you trying  to tell me that he has lost all the money that  

I gave to him the second time we are not sure  of that my king but one thing we are very sure  

is that he hasn't used the money that you have  given him the king immediately ask the soldiers  

to bring the priest right away the priest shows  up at the palace with the same old tone outfits  

the king looks at the priest and says this what  has happened to you D Sharma I gave you so much  

much money and you still haven't used it yet may  I know what problems you are facing has it been  

stolen or have you lost it my king you have  to understand that until my fate reaches its  

Destiny I would not be able to change it so I have  hidden the money after 6 months only will be able  

to use the money safely therefore I have hid it  in a tree filled with snakes after listening to  

what the priest said the king got really upset  I chose to give you so much money so that I can  

change your life why did you hide the money  into the snake infested tree what you did is  

very wrong I cannot accept this the soldiers go  by the King's Command to bring the money from the  

tree the soldiers go towards the temple and they  find the tree as soon as they find the tree they  

came back to the king and they said like this to  him I searched the entire tree my king all of us  

dead but unfortunately we weren't able to find  any money over there my king what is happening  

DEA Sharma are you telling me the truth did you  really hide the money over the tree yes my king  

but it is still there you do not need to worry  about anything I had prayed to my God and he will  

definitely answer my prayers he has definitely  kept my money safe with him and you do not have  

to worry about anything after my fate reaches its  destination the King was really annoyed to hear  

him talk about gods and astrology and fate all  the time he hated the fact that he kept losing  

the money that he gave him so how long is it  going to take for your good days to start may I  

know that after listening to what king said priest  calculated and said this to him in order for my  

good days to begin there are still 6 months left  we would have to wait that long the king thinks  

about something and he sees this do not worry I  shall turn you into one of the richest men in the  

span of 6 months let us see what your God can do  against my will and my power as a king the king  

immediately appoints one of his ministers to to  bring a huge pot of gold coins and he gave it to  

the priest listen to me D Sharma I'm handing you  over all these gold coins so that you can spend  

it and make your life better I will send you few  soldiers so that your coins do not get lost or  

stolen if I get to know that you are not spending  your money I shall punish you severely the king  

Wars them seriously the priest goes back to his  Temple and he finds a well nearby he he keeps  

the gold bow on the top of the well and he takes  a shower while he is taking a shower Crow comes  

and pushes the bowel of gold coins into the well  after he finishes the showering he searches for  

the gold coin bow but he was unable to find it  he was then confused the priest D Sharma says  

this to himself oh no what has happened I'm not  be able to find my gold Co anymore I think this  

is God's Will and it is Our Fate if the king finds  out about this I will be in huge trouble I don't  

know what to do he then looks at the soldiers who  were standing nearby he then goes to them and says  

like this please go back there is nothing for me  to protect I want you to leave immediately I don't  

have anything to steal or save when the guards  and soldiers left back to the Palace they went and  

told the king what happened the king immediately  called the priest to visit him the king asked like  

this what has happened D Sharma have you lost your  gold coin what has happened this time I told you  

before my king only when the good times of my life  will arrive I will be able to enjoy all the goods  

after listening to the priest this time the king  decides to himself he thought to himself and said  

this all right I Shall Believe you but if in case  your good times begin and you are unable to find  

the money that I have given you I shall punish you  with the death penalty the money that was stolen  

by the thieves the money that was hidden in the  trees and the money that is lost now will all be  

found again trust in my God my king D Sharma says  like this and leaves the king's Palace after a few
