Benefits of sharing - What is sharing?

A man from his village decides to go to the other village and starts his journey.In the mid way,finds a shortcut and takes that route thinking he would reach early. This route happens to be a thick desert after walking for a while.Walking, walking, strained, completely tired and fully exhausted, throat entirely dried up looks around for little water to fulfill his thirst but finds nothingexcept sand and sun. Burning sun and killing heat the man falls down on his knees and scotches on the ground. He sees a water pump at a distance, some how pushes himself further crawling on the sand and manages to reach the place. He finds a small glass of water kept on the pump and a message written on it saying: “Pour the glass of water inside the pump to get more water”

At this junction, what would you feel the man should do? Imagine if you or I were in this situation, tired, feeling thirsty, only one glass of water and that one glass of water should be poured inside the pump in order to get more water and god knows if this is done, it would yield more water or no water.. What would you do?There is a Risk to be taken here my friend and a Message to pass on. Take few moments think about it from the heart.
What would you do? The man risked himself, stood up, poured the glass of water inside the pump,gripped the handle and started pumping once, twice and thrice. Initially therewas no sign but after sometime started feeling the pressure of water. With enthusiasm moved the handle few more times and suddenly water gushed out in abundance. With joy, excitement he drank and danced in the water. He was so happy about the present, so happy about himself, so happy about everythingwhatever happened. And after that he decided to share his extreme happiness and joy with the people who experience the same situation, soon filled the same glass completely with water placed it on the pump and also wrote a message saying: It Works!!


It is our humble duty to share our happiness and joy found in abundance with the people who are in need of it but unaware and struggling in their lives.Remember, one seed of an apple we sow yields abundance of apples.
