once upon a time there was a Sufi Saint his name was fared one day the villagers asked him fared the great king Akbar comes to you so many times why don't you ask him to open a school for poor people in our village we don't have a school fed said good so why should I wait for him to come I will go he went to Delhi he was received everybody knew that Akbar respected him tremendously Akbar was praying in his private mosque fared was allowed in he went in he saw Akbar praying he was standing
behind Akbar he could hear what he was saying with hands spread Akbar was just finishing his prayer his namas and he was saying to God Almighty compassionate one shower more riches on me give me a greater Kingdom fared immediately turned away it was just the end of the prayer so Akbar became aware that somebody had been and had gone away he looked back saw fared going down the steps ran touched the feet of fared and asked why have you come because for the first time he had come and why are you going away fed answered
I had come with the idea that you are rich but listening to your prayer I realized that you are still poor and if you are still asking for money for more power then it is not good for me to ask for money from you because I had come to ask for a little money to open a school in my Village but but no I cannot ask from a poor man you yourself need more I will collect some from the village and give it to you and as far as the school is concerned if you are
asking from God I can ask from God directly why should I use you as mediator years later Akbar himself wrote in his autobiography he says for the first time I became aware that yes I I am not yet Rich enough I am not yet dissatisfied with all this money it has not given me anything and I go on asking for more almost completely unconsciously it is time for me to be finished with this way of life you see in life in your life true wealth is not measured by material possessions or power but by contentment
and spiritual richness it doesn't matter what you have it matters what you do with the things that you do have even the most powerful and wealthy people can be poor if they are constantly craving for more true richness comes from inner peace and Detachment this is there to do motivation stories thank you so much for watching and stay blessed
