Once upon a time, there was a king. He was proud of 1 of his prime associate. Other associates were jealous of this Prime associate. They somehow managed to create misunderstanding in king's mind.
So king called the prime associate and asked him 4 random questions and asked him to give answers by next day else he will hang him.
Questions were
1. Yes, Yes, Yes
2. No, No, No
3. No, No, Yes &
4. Yes, Yes, No
Dejected by the king and scared for his life he went home and started crying in front of his daughter. His daughter being very wise and spiritual person tried to console him and said, leave everything in god's hand.
He then cursed god and said if god is there, he would have helped me. But I am going to die tomorrow.His daughter said to him, Ok!! Do one thing when king calls you tomorrow, let me come with you and let me answer king for you.
Next day, king sent his soldier's and called for prime associate. His daughter accompanied him. While their way to king's palace, they passed through a big queue of poor people. She asked her father, Father!! What's going on?
He replied, he is a millionaire businessman, he donates food, clothes and money to poor and do a lot of social work. She then said, can you call him and request him to come with us to king's palace? They requested the businessman and he agreed.
They started again and after a while they passed through a river bay where a fisherman was killing fishes he caught for the day. Her father seeing her curiosity explained that this fisherman is really poor and somehow manages by selling fishes he catch everyday. She told soldiers to call him and asked fisherman to come with them to king's palace.
They then passed through a jungle and saw a tree where a saint was meditating and was surrounded by ants, bees biting him, but saint was still at peace. Her father told her that this saint is tremendous. He meditates all the day/night and survives on whatever food people offer him. She goes to that saint and politely request him to come with them to king as she wants to prove her father that god exists. Saint being believer of god happily agrees and accompanies them.
They started again and as they moved towards the city they heard a person shouting and beating a poor man.
On asking about it, her father said that this young fellow is son of a rich businessman. Throughout day he just drinks, spends time in brothel and beats/mistreats poor people.She tell soldiers to arrest him and take him to king.
They finally reached to king's palace and as instructed by his daughter prime associate tells king that these questions were so easy that his 12 year old daughter could answer it.
She then takes over and says, My king with all due respect I would like to answer your question and that too with examples. But you have to promise that you will not hang my father.King agrees.
She then starts and pointing to the rich businessman she says. Here, he is a rich businessman he must have done good karma in his previous life{Yes}, that's why he is rich in this life{Yes} and he is doing good work by feeding, helping poor and due to his karma in this life, his next life will be good too{Yes}.
So he is the answer for your 1st question; i.e. Yes, Yes, Yes
She then pointed to fisherman and said, he must have done something wrong(No), due to which he is poor in this life{No} and sorry to say but he is still not doing good karma by killing innocent fishes, so his next life will be not good too{No}
So he is the answer for 2nd question; i.e. No, No, No
She then pointed towards Saint and said that this saint must have done something bad
{No} that is why he doesn't have place to live or good food to eat and surviving somehow{No} but his good karma in this life (as he is meditating and preaching good things to everyone) will help him have a good next life {Yes}
So he is the answer for your next question; i.e. No, No, Yes
King was surprised and impatiently asked pointing towards the young guy. He must be answer for my last question.
Nodding positively girl continues and explained, the young guy must have done something good{Yes} which gave him a luxurious life in this birth {Yes} but as he is doing all the possible bad things now he definitely will not have a good life in his next birth{No}.
So as you guessed he is the answer for your last question; i.e. Yes, Yes, No
King gets very happy and hugs his prime associate and apologizes for his fault. And gives him a lot of money as a gift.
Life is all about Karma!! Be good to everyone, be generous, love humans & animals and be forgetful.
Note: This story I heard somewhere some 15-20 years, back but today for some reason I remembered it and thought of sharing too. Hope you reached till this sentence of mine :)
