Padman prayed that He should go to heaven. God replied, “I will give you a box. Whenever you do a good deed, I will drop a gold coin in the box. When the coins number a thousand, you can go to heaven.”
So the next day Padman fed a hungry man. A coin appeared in the box. He was very happy and excited. The next day he bought medicine for a sick man. Then he visited an orphanage and helped clear the road of some thorny sticks, helped an old man to cross the street, fed cattle and birds, led a blind man to his destination and so on. Coins started collecting in the box and became 999 and Padman didn’t know it. For he never bothered to count.
One morning an old man knocked at his door and said, “I prayed to go to heaven and God told me to get the box of gold coins from you, so I can go to heaven. Will you please give me the box?”
“Oh,” said Padman, “please take it,” and handed over the box to him. Now it had 1000 gold coins. The man was surprised. “You have collected 1000 gold coins painstakingly to go to heaven and are you not feeling sorry to give it away?” he asked. “Oh, not at all. I am already enjoying heaven on earth, looking for good deeds and doing them. Please take the box,” he said. The old man disappeared and there stood God. “Continue to do your good works. When your time is up, you’ll be in heaven,” He said.
Be on the look out for good deeds every day and God will be pleased. The world will become a better place.
