So one brother on seeing something on the ground covered it with dust, when the other saw it, he started to cry. It was a wonder for the younger brother what wrong he did. So he requested his elder brother that one his doing a noble thing why he cried. He asked to the younger brother that for what reason he covered the gold with dusts.
The younger said that it was simply because if someone come across the place the evil thought of picking the gold up and possess it might come, so it was stopped by simply putting dust on it.
Moreover, he said that he could not find any reason for his crying. In younger brother’s opinion, it was an evil as if the incident of someone is picking the gold occurs it would disturb the very person causing bad or evil affects.
In our daily life, we may eliminate the causes for negative effects that give birth to bad thoughts, crime and thus evil. On his request, the elder brother replied that he cried for him for his duality of thought that after so long, he still maintained it. He further said that if he believed in the of God’s Omnipresence and oneness present among all things, how did it come that he differentiated between the gold and the dust.
When the younger brother heard this, he started to cry for his ignorance.
We will read in the next part of the story about why it is ignorance. Thanks!
