Long ago there was a milk seller living in a village.

He was a good man, good devotee, and self-disciplined person. Every day after his bath, he will worship God, he will never ever speak lie, if someone comes to his house asking for help, he will not say no, great scholar and spiritualist. If anyone who is suffering without job he will help them using his influences. He was a big wealthy man in that village. Do you know how he became wealthy man?  by his hard work with good effort from his youth, gradually prospered by running a small dairy farm in that village then he became wealthy person. In the beginning he had only few cows, later, it was expanded with plenty of cows. 

Do you know, what is his best custom practice in his life?

His best custom practice in his life, first of all after milking from his cows, he would distribute the milk to poor children. Then rest of the milk go to the cooperative society.

Another milk seller was living in the very same village, he is not good man, he will always being very rude with all people.  He won't like to help to anyone. So, the villagers were irritated with him.  Elderly people were scolded him about his sin action, some other people cursed him, but he did not care about anybody’s  scolding’s and cursing’s.

He was continuing his sin action.  He had more than ten cows, though he mixes water in milk and will be selling it. See how greedy he is? for this reason, all the villagers hated him. No one will never ever give respect to him.

Once he was in dire financial straits. So, urgently he needed some money, because all of sudden some of his cows died in one day due to disease. He was unable to supply milk to his regular customers. He was very sad, and he wandered for money as his few friends’ advice, in all directions.  But no one could come forward to help him. Though he was bad, some elderly villagers showed sympathy on him, and many pointed out about his sin action. As soon heard this news that good man came forward to help him, and arranged loan for him from a reputed bank without any hesitation.

After his help, what happened to him? that bad man relieved from his money crisis. after this incident, he learned to live a good man, then he became ever happy person.
