Every person is born with a certain set of talents. But if you do not contribute any of those talents to society and keep a bunch of qualification papers aside, even if you remain like that for the rest of your life, no work that suits your ability will be successful. That is a universal principle.
In the world, aren't we all used to living our lives by laughing at the results of someone else's work? Why? You think that you cannot do it that way. It is not impossible. There is a stream of energy in the brain and mind of all of us that is necessary to perform every action. If we strive to use that stream of energy well for any task, then that task will be successful or to some extent.
We all have been walking on our knees and stomachs from birth to today, and today we stand upright and live our lives in society, both good and bad. But if we had decided to live our lives in the same way when we were young, and not to get up again when we fell, would we have been able to see nothing but destruction in our lives today? No, not at all.
Before the year 1889, a terrible hurricane swept through a part of America. Many lives were destroyed by this hurricane. Many people were also injured and suffered greatly. In the midst of this, there was a very talented and virtuous doctor. He also had two sons. Both of them were studying in medical school. However, all those affected by that hurricane had to be treated with great effort by these three people. These people, shivering in the cold, did this work with great enthusiasm, not expecting any help from anyone. However, a nun in that state, who learned of their work, created and donated a hospital for these three. Then this doctor father and son worked there well.
What is the only amazing work that these two brothers named Charlie and William did? They found a cure for the insane in the world. The reason is that there are more mentally ill people in America than many other patients. Therefore, these two thought that it would be better to find a cure for these mentally ill patients than to hospitalize them and have others outside to maintain them. As a result of these two researches, a medicine for the mental illness of madness was developed. Also, these two tried to talk to and treat all the patients in their hospital equally. Without treating the patients with the intention of taking money from them, a farmer came to these two brothers by mortgaging a field to cure his cancer. Upon learning of this, these two doctors named Charles and William performed the surgery on the man with great care, returned the check he had given to him, and also sent him back a check for the loss he had incurred when he fell ill. Why did they do it that way?
This is where none of us think, they thought that if there were no patients, we would not be here today. But if we cure them, we can also get a mental health as valuable as the mental health that is available under the AA.
There was no shortage of money or other comforts for those brothers because they were treated like that. Everything was well received. But they did not feel proud or resentful of others or make the patients uncomfortable at any time. Here we all should live our lives, not in the face of greed for power.
If someone is going to forcefully obtain something in addition to his own, he will not find peace in his life but destruction. Therefore, you who live in the world should live knowingly and well what virtues are considered good for others. Then, even if you are in the middle of a great forest, a path will automatically be made to where you are. That is the true Dharma of the world.
