Me and Mine

Ego is our deadliest enemy. Egoistic people always claim to be doer of jobs that he may have not directly done. Very often people say "I did this or I am the owner of this thing etc, that "I tag will never go. But sometimes this "I" stamp can put in grave trouble.

There is nice and short story connected to this I.
Once a businessman was traveling in a train from Jaipur to Delhi. On the way somebody had kept a big heavy bag in the train's compartment near that businessman. When the train reached Delhi all the passengers alighted from the train but the businessman's eye was on the big bag which nobody came to claim. That minute the T.C entered the train and asked him whether this bag belonged to him. He looked around here and there but none came to claim the bag. He thought that when nobody is the owner why not he take it. He answered the TC by saying Yes. He alighted from the train and called the porter to carry his luggage. When the porter was carrying the bag, the policeman had some doubt. He immediately stopped him and asked for the owner of the bag. The porter pointed out at the businessman. The policeman ordered him to open the bag. When the bag was opened he found a dead body lying inside. The businessman was stunned and started shivering. He did not know what reply to give to the policeman. He apologised and narrated the entire incidence to the policeman and begged for mercy as he was innocent and the bag did not belong to him.
But he policeman was adamant and dragged him to court for murder of the man whose body was lying inside the bag.

Here we should learn a lesson that never ever claim to be the owner of the jobs or things which you have never attempted or those that do not belong to you. Always be cautious before saying or attaching that "I". Whatever jobs you do, surrender it to Almighty and thank him for the strength he has given us to complete a particular task.
