Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 The present generation mostly aims for money, position and power. They are not aware, that the above three will ultimately bring grief. Ford Motors owner Mr.Ford was so much involved in his business and expanded his business and earned millions and millions of dollars. Once he was severely affected by some strange ailment and hence he was hospitalised. The Doctors could not cure him completly inspite of best treatment. He was all along amassing wealth. Some of his well wishers have adviced him to start a charity trust to help the unfortunate poor people who live in utter poverty and in unhealthy conditions. Thus the Ford Foundation was born. He started distributing a sizable part of his fortune through his foundation for charitable activities. Once his mind is turned away from business and money making, he started recovering rapidly. That is the secret of Life. Sacrifice is the foremost virtue. Hence the Upanishads teaches the human beings: "Na karmana, na prajaya, dhanena, Tyagenaikena Amrutatvamanasu"- "Not by work, not by children, not by wealth amrutatva or immortality is realised. Only by sacrifice, it could be achieved. Sairam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
