Ninety-Nine's Vicious Circle
In a village, a couple lived very harmoniously. They had a simple lifestyle. All income was spent, and they could not even save anything. But, even then the villagers never saw them angry, irritated, or quarreling for anything. One day, everyone started talking about them saying, "there is no pleasure in the life of both, yet both of them are happy". Then an elderly person laughed, saying that "they are not yet stuck into 99's vicious circle, that's why they are so happy. The more they earn, the more they spend, they never save anything for tomorrow and nor they worry for tomorrow". But some people said that it cannot be like that. If they don't have the money then how do they spend. Then the elderly said, give them a few bucks and see them. The next day, There was a bundle of cash placed in front of their house containing 99 rupees (Now this story is ofthe time when making a rupee was considered a luxury. Its equivalent to today's one lakh rupees a day). Both of them asked in the village for the owner of that bundle but everyone said that money is not theirs. They kept the rupees as one of the villager suggested them to count the money and keep it. Both started thinking about "where the money came from?". They kept talking about it all night. They were thinking about the money while working and in evening they started talking about how one rupee will it a whole. Adding just one rupee to it will make it a hundred rupees. Now both of them started thinking about saving a little, So they started consuming less food, working longer hours etc. All of this to save money. Harmony among them slowly diminished and they became angry and irritated overtime, because now both of them had fallen in the ninety-nine vicious circle.This is happening with us too. We are all engaged in the circle of 99. Our harmony, happiness, goffy, fun is diminishing over time. We keep on thinking about the problems at all time, instead of being in the moment and feel the presence of happiness in our day to day lives. We worry too much about the troubles and problems which haven't even happened yet.
From today, you have to think about whatever that is happening is right for me, spend today happily, believe that the time yet to come will improve but don't spoil your present because today's time will not return. Where money is needed to make a place in society, it is necessary to improve living tolerance. The same happiness is necessary for our mind, body, beauty of the face, and cleanliness. Those who are happy, their personality becomes attractive. All illnesses, all negativity will disappear.
