Ram Das was a person recognized for his knowledge. Whereas some individuals thought that he was a sage, some others thought that he knew some secret by which he may remedy all kinds of issues.
People typically came to him to seek advice on disputes that they had over some property, about illnesses they suffered from or about doubts that they had on some spiritual or philosophical downside.
No one ever got here to him with as unusual an issue as Manguram presented before him.
“Sir, we’re six individuals in my household. But the home we reside in is small. What to do?” requested Manguram.
“It’s a must to construct a much bigger home!” recommended Ram Das.
“I’ve no cash for that,” replied Manguram.
“I see. How do you count on me that will help you?” requested Ram Das.
“I do know that you’re gifted with magic powers. Can’t you increase my home just a bit?”
Ram Das laughed. “If you want me to use my magic powers, I can do this. However it’s essential to comply with sure rituals for that,”.
“I am going to do something you ask me to do.”
“What number of cows do you have got?” requested Ram Das.
“Two.”
“Now, switch them from the shed into your own home. Meet me after a month,” mentioned Ram Das.
Manguram went away happily.
A month later he came again, looking somewhat sad.
“Sir, my home -was already small for six of us. Now, with two cows added, it makes it very tough for us to reside in it!” he complained.
“I do know. However, there isn’t an escape from this course in case you actually want your own home to increase. Now, inform me, what number of goats do you have got?”
“Well, sir, for the time being, there are two goats and three children.”
“Good. Now begins the second phase of the ritual. Lead them into your own home and neglect it. Meet me after two months,” mentioned Ram Das.
Manguram ‘went away, however feeling apprehensive concerning the prescription. Ram Das smiled and gave his attention to different issues.
Manguram peeped into Ram’s home after a month. “Mangu, I requested you to return right here only after two months! Why did you come now?” Manguram scratched his head and went away.
He returned after one other month.
“Come on, Mangu, now, simply on the time of the sundown take away all of your beasts to their shed. Take away the furnishings within the home. Clear it. Then sprinkle this water all around the home. In the morning, open all of the windows and doorways. Let the daylight flood the home. You will notice that the home has expanded.”
Manguram went away. The subsequent day, beaming with pleasure, he reported to Ram Das that the miracle had taken place. The home had expanded!
Ram’s personal servant who heard Manguram exclaim this, requested his master, after Manguram’s departure, “Sir, how could you do it?”
Ram laughed. “You see, a lot of our issues are relative. Mangu should have understood that unless he can assemble a much bigger home, he has to stay happy with the home ‘as it is. However, that may be a completely different matter. What I did was easy. I made him taste what’s actual congestion. In relation to that bad experience over three months, the clear home now looks enlarged!”
Ram Das laughed again and added, “After all, Manguis a simpleton.”
