Feeling of Hatred until Death

An old man was on the verge of dying. He knew his death was very near. He had four sons. They were all sitting next to him. His whole family was with him. He told his sons that he had looked after them throughout his life, reared and cared about them. And given them so much property. Now you will have to fulfill my last wish. The three elder sons did not answer. They knew their father’s nature. He was very cruel and would take revenge upon anybody who would trouble him. The three elder sons were aware that if they agree to their father’s wish, he would involve them into some trouble.
The youngest son, who stayed in hostel from his childhood, did not know his father’s cruel mentality. He immediately agreed to fulfill his father’s last wish. He came near him and said “father, what is your last wish before death, I will do the needful”. The father replied “oh! You are my real son and I know you will agree to do whatever I tell you. The father said “when I die, cut my body into pieces and throw them into neighbour’s house and inform the police that till my father was alive these neighbours tortured him a lot and now they have killed him and thrown his body into pieces. When police will handcuff these neighbours and put them in jail it will give immense satisfaction to my soul.”
The children were shocked to hear this. This old man who hated his neighbours is leaving behind a link of hatred. This is the property the children are going to inherit. Very often elders feeling of hatred is carried over by their children. Property disputes, running around in courts are all sighs of hatred. Never breed hatred for long or else it will land you in a major trouble. Hate the Feeling of Hatred not the person.
What are we so disturbed, so uncomfortable? Find the root cause and you will come to that it is feeling of hatred which is not allowing you feel good and peaceful. Only love and feeling of friendship will bring peace. You do your part of love and friendship, don’t wait for the opposite person to do so. You are sowing the seed of love which will definitely flourish. But the person who sows seed of hatred, will get only pain and no peace.
