Do good and good shall come to you.

Do good and good shall come to you.

We all have heard and learnt to do good to others but have you ever spent time to think why.

Why should we do good to others?, Why should we be kind to others?, Why should we help others?

Let me tell you the answer. The answer is a simple and old quotation "The good you do comes back to you, the evil you do remains with you". It means the good we do comes back to us in some unrecognizable ways and the evil we do remains with us for all lifetime.The good we do blesses not only us but to others also and the evil we do entraps only us and harms only us. Let me tell you a short tale. Once upon a time there was an old lady who always used to make an extra "chapati" for a hunchback man who daily used to visit her for alms.the hunchback never used to say thank you.After receiving alms he used to say" The good you do comes back to you, the evil you do remains with you". The lady was irritated by this response from that hunchback. One day she got so offended that the next day she planned to kill the person by poisoning his "chappati". As the hunchback knocked at the door , the conscience of lady was pinching her.She immediately prepared a fresh "chappati" and gave it to him and as usual the hunchback repeated the same phrase.

After sometime her son arrived home with blood on his right arm. After getting first-aid, he told his mother that if he is alive today, the credit for it goes to a hunchback man who offered me his "chappati". His mother astonishingly questioned " How?" he replied that, upon returning to home he met with an accident and fell unconscious and then that hunchback took me in his lap,offered him water and his "chappati" and blessings.

Now his mother was able to understand the meaning of phrase the hunchback used to recite, as if she had given him the poisoned "chappati" her own son would have been dead.
