Once upon a time, there lived in a city a greedy man, who had abundant wealth, longed for more money all the time...
Once a miraculous saint arrived in that city, when that greedy person came to know about his miracles, he ran to him and invited him to his house and served him well, pleased with the service, before departing from the city, the saint gave him four lamps,
After giving all the four lamps, the saint told him, "Son, whenever you need money, light the first lamp and go in the east direction, dig the ground of that place where the lamp is extinguished. There you will get a lot of wealth, after that you need money again, then light another lamp, which you keep walking in the west direction till it is extinguished, from that place you will get immense wealth buried in the ground.
If your need for money is still not fulfilled, then light the third lamp and go in the south direction, dig the ground where the lamp extinguishes, and get the money there, in the end you have a lamp and one direction left, but you do not have to light that lamp nor go in that direction
Saying this, the saint departed from the greedy person's house and that city, as soon as the saint left, the greedy person lit the first lamp and went towards the east direction in search of wealth, the lamp was extinguished in a forest, on digging there, he got an urn. The urn was full of gold ornaments
The greedy person thought that first I will get the money of other directions and then I will take the money from here. Hiding the urn there in the bushes, he lit another lamp and started towards the west, another lamp was extinguished in a secluded place, the greedy person dug the ground there, he found a chest there, which was full of gold coins,
The greedy person left that box in the same pit to be taken later, now he lit the third lamp and proceeded towards the south direction. He extinguished the lamp under a tree. There, under the ground, the greedy person found a pitcher, which was filled with diamonds and pearls
A greedy person was very happy after receiving so much wealth, but his greed increased. He lit the last lamp and thought of going in the north direction, for which he had been forbidden by the saint
But the person who was blinded by greed thought that there must be more money hidden in that place than these places, which the saint himself would want to keep, I should immediately go there and take possession of that money before that. After that, I will spend the rest of my life in luxury
He lit the last lamp and started moving in the north direction. While walking, he reached in front of a palace. The lamp went out as soon as we reached there
After the lamp was extinguished, the greedy person opened the door of the palace and entered the palace and started looking for money in the palace chambers. In one of the chambers, he found a stock of diamonds and jewels, which dazzled his eyes.
In another room he found a store of gold, seeing the immense wealth, his greed increased, after going a little further he heard the sound of the mill running, it was coming from a room... Astonished,,, he opened the door of the room there he saw an old man grinding the mill
The greedy person asked him, "How did Baba reach here?"
Will you run the mill for a while? Let me take a breath. Then I'll tell you the whole thing, how I got here and what I found here. The old man said.
The greedy person thought that the old man would get information about where the money was hidden in this palace and obeyed him and started running the mill, here the old man got up and started laughing loudly
Seeing him laughing, the greedy person asked, "Why are you laughing like this?" Saying this, he started closing the mill.
Hey, don't close the mill, from now on this palace is yours, now you have the right over it and also this mill, you have to keep running this mill all the time because as soon as the mill is closed, this palace will collapse and you will die in it.
Taking a deep breath, the old man continued, "Not obeying the saint, I too had reached this palace by lighting the last lamp greedily, since then I have been running the mill here, my entire youth went out running the mill,,, saying this the old man started leaving from there
Go on telling you how to get rid of this mill. The greedy man shouted from behind.
Unless someone like you and me comes here blinded by greed, you will not get rid of this mill,,,Saying this, the old man went away, the greedy person grinded the mill and kept cursing himself.
