Recently I read this and felt it necessary to share in this forum.
ENJOY… Even if you think it is just a fable.
Several years ago, when Justice Ranganath Mishra was the Chief Justice of India, he was invited as Chief Guest at the Law College of Puri, Odisha. Before reaching the college function, he went to the Jagannath temple, Puri, to have Darshan of Lord Jagannath and while returning, he heard someone calling him by his name “Ranganath Babu” several times.
He was astonished as to who could call him like this in a loud voice, that too near the temple entrance and whether it was for him or someone else !
In a dilemma, he looked back and saw one beggar with an ugly face, inflicted with leprosy and bandage covering his hands and legs, calling him.
Justice Mishra asked him “Who are you and why are you calling me”?
The caller replied,
“Sir, you do not remember me ?
I am the notorious Kulia Daku (bandit). A few years ago, when you were practising in Odisha High Court, I was your client. In a robbery and murder case, I was awarded lifetime rigorous imprisonment by the lower Court, but you fought my case in appeal before the Odisha High Court and got me acquitted.
Actually, I was the culprit as I had murdered one person and looted his money and gold. Similarly, in other cases also, I was set free, without any punishment.”
He continued,
“Sir, though I was set free by the Justice of human beings, in the court of Almighty I was severely punished and I have contracted leprosy throughout my body and consequently lost limbs.
My family, my kith and kin hate me and drove me out from the village.
Hence, now I am crawling on the road and begging for food near the temple gate. Sometimes someone gives me food or else I go without food.”
Hearing this, Justice Mishra gave him a hundred rupees’ note and left silently, with a heavy heart.
At the Law College function, Justice Mishra narrated this incident, with tears in his eyes.
He said, “We are Judges here, to set free or sentence someone, as per our wit and intelligence.
But there is one more UPPER COURT above, where no wit works and the culprit would be punished for sure”.
This is, the Law of Retribution
KARMA CATCHES UP FOR SURE.
Story ends but some FOOD FOR THOUGHT …
Would be much obliged if the HEALERS on this forum can enlighten the Rest of Us
How would this beggar be healed or his pain level reduced if you were doing his PLR.
