A Lesson in Hard Work and Laziness

An elderly woman died, has Yamaraj come to take her?

The woman asked Yamaraj, "Will you take me to heaven or hell?" Yamaraj replied, "Neither of the two?"

You have done very good deeds in this life, so I am taking you straight to the Lord's abode...

The elderly woman was delighted and said, "Thank you, but I have a request for you....

I have heard a lot about heaven and hell here on earth. I want to see both of them once...."

Yamaraj said, "Your deeds are good, so I will fulfill your wish."

Let's go to the Lord's abode via heaven and hell.

They both set off, and hell came first...

In hell, the elderly woman heard people crying loudly. Everyone there looked thin and sick.

The woman asked a man, "Why are you all in such a state here?"

The man said, "Then what kind of condition would it be? Since we came here after dying, we haven't eaten a single day."

Our souls are tormented by hunger.

The elderly woman's eyes fell on a huge pot, which must have been about 300 feet taller than the people's height. A huge spoon hung above it!

A wonderful aroma emanated from the pot.

The elderly woman asked the man, "What's in this pot?"

The man replied dejectedly, "This pot is always filled with delicious kheer!"

The elderly woman asked in surprise, "If there's kheer in it, why don't you eat it to your heart's content? Why are you starving?"  The man started crying and said, "How can we eat?"

This pot is 300 feet high. None of us can reach it.

The old woman felt pity for them. She thought, "Poor fellows, despite having a pot of kheer, they are so hungry. Perhaps God has punished them this way."

Yamraj said to the old woman, "Let's go, we're getting late."

They both started walking. After walking some distance, they reached heaven.

There, the old woman heard everyone laughing and giggling. Everyone looked very happy.

Seeing them happy, the old woman also became very happy.

But even there, in heaven, the old woman's gaze fell on the same 300-foot-high pot. Just like in hell, a spoon hung above it.

The old woman asked the people there, "What's in this pot?"

The people in heaven said that it had very tasty kheer.

The old woman was astonished! She said to them, "But this pot is 300 feet high! You people can't even reach it!"

At that rate, you people wouldn't even get food, you must be starving...

But I see you all so happy, how is that?

The people said, "We all eat our fill of kheer from this pot?"

The woman said, "But how?" The pot is very high...

The people said, "So what? The pot is high?

There are so many trees here. God created these plants, rivers, and waterfalls for the benefit of us humans.

We took the wood from these trees, cut it, and then joined the pieces of wood together to build a huge ladder...

With the help of that wooden ladder, we reach the pot?"  And everyone enjoys the kheer together...

The elderly woman looked at Yamraj.

Yamraj smiled and said, "God has entrusted heaven and hell to humans. If they wish, they can create hell for themselves, or heaven for themselves...

Has God placed everyone in the same circumstances?

All his children are equal to him; he discriminates against no one...??

Even in hell, there were trees and plants, but those people are lazy; they want kheer at hand. They don't want to do any work, they don't want to work hard, that's why they are suffering from hunger?...

Because this is the law of this world created by God. Only those who work hard and toil will get to eat the sweet fruit...
