Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Dear Sai Devotees, In this week's eChat, we will discover how people perceive value.... -------------------- A rich man said to his servant: "Take this diamond to the market and let me know how different people price it. Take it first to a vegetable seller." The servant took the diamond to the egg-plant seller. He examined it, turning it over in the palm of his hand, and said, "Well, I can give nine kilos of egg-plants for it." The servant laughed and took the diamond back. He then went to the clothes dealer. The merchant said: "Yes, it is a good thing. I can make a nice ornament out of it. I will give you nine hundred rupees for it." Laughing, the servant returned to his master and relayed the information. The master said with a laugh: "Now take it to a jeweller." The servant went to a jeweller. The jeweller inspected the diamond for a few minutes and said, "I will give you one hundred thousand rupees for it." --------------------- Ramakrishna Paramahansa once said: "All can't recognise an Incarnation of God. Some take him for an ordinary man, some for a holy person, and only a few recognise him as an Incarnation." OM SAI RAM! Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now.
