The Law of Good & Divine Deeds







Once Shiv & Parvati were on the tour of earth. While they were passing through Punjab, Parvati saw Sikh Kisaans (farmers) were dancing due to good season. They were so involved in dancing & were busy within themselves that they dint realised that Shiv & Parvati were also present there.



Being ignored Parvati got angry and said, they are so selfish that they dont even realise that we are here. She gave them a Shraap (curse) that there would be no rain for seven years in that region. Hearing this, Shiv said this is too much of a punishment for just small mistake that too happened out of ignorance.



Well, time passed and after two years again Shiv & Parvati passed from that place and saw people were still happy, content and ploughing their field. Seeing this Parvati got surprised and asked them when this place is so dried, drought is all over and the fields are barren, still how are you content and why are you ploughing the field in this hot sun.



The farmer replied we are content because we have accepted our fate and we are ploughing our fields because we know we have been cursed but we also know that after five years it is going to rain, so in order to not to be out of practice and turn lethargic & lazy we are ploughing our fields.



Hearing this Shiv was extremely happy, took out his Dumroo and started playing it. Surprised Parvati asked him why are you playing this dumroo at this odd hour? Shiv said I have not played this dumroo in a long time may be since last 250 years, i'm playing it so that i may not run out of practice.



The sound of dumroo went up till sky. Hearing the sound of dumroo, the rain god said that i've not showered the rain since last two years, now I should rain so that I may not run out of practice and then the rain god showered in that region.



Learning : Always remain positive & contented in life and never leave your Purshaarth(karma)
