God Is Best Planner

By Mousumi Mahana

You have already read the title of the story. In our story there are basically 5 main characters:

The boy whose name is Ansh

Boy's Father=Mr. Patel(Mr. P)

Boy's Father Business Partner=Mr.K

Loyal Servant= Ramu

Loyal Servant Son= Sonu

You have seen there are some children who born with golden spoon, means all luxurious things and facilities are available in their life. His father is a popular businessman who is carrying on his business smoothly. The boy is one and only son of his rich parents. So before making any wishes his all wishes are came true with in a second. He is not only a financially rich boy rather the boy with many unique and best characteristics that may anyone have. So let’s look into his life story….

He is a boy who always gets first rank in every fields of life, like in study, making most goals in football match, a great swimmer, praise by all teachers; an honest, boy or else we can say he is a treasure of golden good qualities.

But wait!!

Perhaps you must be thinking that how can a person have so many good qualities; I wish my life was like his. But my dear friend you are wrong because with such strength in the field of money, mind and qualities he still remain sad everyday and slept with eyes full of tears. He shares the cause of sadness with his little friend the golden fish. But he is a fish only, just listen his friend’s problems but can’t help him since he is not a magical fish.

Now let’s know actually what the matter is I mean what was his problem??

His problem is that if he listened anyone is teasing him, mocking him, laughing at him and specifically told him that you can’t do it. Dramatically his all strength, self- confidence and positivity disappear within a moment and he become very much negative. He really feels very demotivated, secure poor marks, can’t make any goals in the football match, unable to swim and act like a looser. So every night before going to bed he always prays to God, “Please take this negativity from me and give me strength and confidence to face my problems.” But as usual nothing changes, so his believe on god is vanishing day by day and eventually he believes that there is No God is in this World and God is a big lie.

Meanwhile looking at his condition his parents request his principal to allow him to give exams at a separate room otherwise he will fail in all exam. As all teachers know him that he is a talented boy but because of his negativity he unable to do anything perfectly. So most of his teachers convince the principal to allow him to give at least the annual exam in separate room and the principal allow for it but strictly ordered to take all other exams as usual with his class mates. Time passed like this and seeing he became a young man of 25 years. He chooses his profession and as usual also topped in his field. So he started looking for a job in his favorite company.

During this period his father decides to engage him with his business partner's daughter in order to bring some positive changes in his attitude. As the boy was rich, so the girl was ready for this. After His engagement the boy soon got a job in a very reputed company. However, he was unable to continue the job for a long period of time because of his past problems. So he left the entire job that he was getting and at the end he starts spending more time in his room, doing nothing just sitting and crying. By looking at the condition of his innocent boy his father started worrying about him like why and how his son is not able to do anything even after being so talented. For this reason his business went down day by day. He could not concentrate on his business and started investing without doing any further analysis.

One day one such project came to him that was very risky but also profitable. If profit is made then all their loss will be recovered and will make them more successful than before but if loss happens then their entire business will sink. There is a saying in Hindi duubte KO tinke kaa Sahara means a little help is worth much more for the wretched .But he lost his huge amount by investing without thinking. He had to take loans to get his business running again. Seeing all this, his wife asked to sell all her jewelries and all their lands. But again all his money was lost and gradually his financial condition became much worse than before.

In this bad time, that boy wanted to help his father but he was not daring to go and talk with his father and give him some ideas. Because he was afraid that if the ideas failed then people would again make fun of him and the rest of the trust of his parents would also be lifted from him. Then they asked for help from their relatives, friends and business partners, but everyone refused and started making excuses for not helping. Even his business partner Mr.P did not help and broke his daughter’s engagement. People did not help, but everyone started taunting, what kind of son have you, it is better not to have such a ridiculous and wretched son. Even after all this, the parent’s of the boy were standing with the boy. Instead of taunting him, motivated him, tell not to give up and have faith in God, he will fix everything soon.

If you are true and honest, then God will definitely come in any form to help you. There is a saying when all the doors are closed, then God opens another door for us, we just need to find it. Something similar happened in our story too, let’s see in what form God has come in Ansh’s life.

He had a loyal and trusted worker, Ramu, who refused to leave his master even in such a bad condition. Mr.P was asking ramu to return to his village. But ramu was adamant on his insistence that he would go, then he would take the entire family of Mr.P with him or else he would not go anywhere. But Mr. P is a very self-respecting person. He did not want to be a burden on anyone else. That’s why he decided to send his son Ansh with ramu so that ramu would not feel bad and in the meantime, his son’s condition would also get better.

At first ansh thought a lot, then on the words of his father, ansh had to go with ramu. Then Mr.P said when ansh wants to comeback send him back and takes care of him. Ramu said don’t worry sir he is like my son and he will stay with my son Sonu and they will become good friends very soon. After a journey of 5 hours, both of them reached the village. Ramu’s wife and son Sonu welcomed them. Ramu’s family already knew everything about ansh condition, so they were behaving very well with him so that he could live comfortably with them.

Ramu’s family believes in god a lot. That is why every morning and evening worship and chanting of mantras are done in their house. They ask ansh to worship with him, but he decides to leave the house and goes for a walk alone in the village .He used to do the same thing every day. As he had nothing to do, that’s why he started observing everything in detail in the village. He observe from animal to bird, from human to animal ,what people do, how they live ,work, celebrate festivals, share problems and help each other. While doing this he became a very good observer soon.

In this story, some such incidents happened which changed personality of ansh and these moments became golden memorable days of his life. Even if he wants to, he cannot forget, so let’s see what happened next

1. Food Shortage

Once upon a time, due to poor harvest, Ramu’s family was unable to eat enough food. Due to ansh being their guest, they used to serve him full stomach food, but Sonu used to share it with his friend Sonu. Everyday Sonu got angry after seeing his parents eating less and one day he asked his father why god is doing so much wrong to us, why should we worship him and why should we trust him? After listening Sonu’s complaints, ramu replied him calmly. Listen son, this moment is for a while, it will go away very soon. God is the best planner, so we should patiently trust him and his plan. You see everything will be fine very soon. Really that bad moment went away within 3 months .In the next month there was a very good profit by selling the crop because in the meantime the land had become very fertile.

2. Game

One day, Ansh was watching a game of TUG OF WAR. The game was very exciting because in that game a child was almost 17 and 18 years old, who was leaner than others, dragged his losing team from the side of the opposition’s team and brought his team back to his side by putting all his magical efforts and won the losing game .After watching all this, ansh came running to that child and asked how did you able to win your team, do you have any special powers?

But that boy left without giving him any answer. Since ansh was of introvert type so he did not have the courage to go near and ask the little champ again. So he sat under the tree standing nearby and kept thinking how can it be like this, how and how…?

Then suddenly that boy comes again smiling to ansh and said brother, I know that I am the youngest of all, but I went on speaking in my own mind, I could do anything. he watch that little boy is coming towards him and by giving a smile he replied that brother I know I am little one than all other and I keep saying l can do anything I can do anything just giving my best and put all my effort that I can put to win the match for myself. I thought this match is mine, in which I had to prove by winning my team that what it seems is not what it looks like. Because everyone used to make fun of me after seeing my physical fitness and ansh also came to know that the little one had only one chance to prove him or else they would have thrown him out of the team today.

He learnt to get success we have to believe on mental ability and ignore people because they don’t know your inner strength and capabilities that who you are and what is your benchmark

In the meantime, Mr.P started a new business by taking credit from his worker and promised that he would repay the loan with interest. But ramu refused to take the interest, so they decided Mr.P would give back only the loan amount. Meanwhile a year had passed. Ansh used to talk with his parents everyday and what he has learned till now, he used to share with them. After talking with ansh, the parents felt that ansh has changed a lot, there he is getting to learn a lot. So they requested ramu to keep ansh in the village for some more time so that he could learn more. Ramu also happily agreed for this. One day, Ramu, after talking to Ansh’s father on mobile, was very happy to know that his new business is going very well.

So let’s see what else ansh learned further by staying in the village……

3. The Little Bird

One day Ansh was planting saplings in the garden. Suddenly he heard the chirping of many birds from the old banyan tree, when he came near, he saw that a big snake had entered the nest of a little bird to eat its eggs. But that little bird kept attacking the snake again and again to save its eggs without any fear. In the end that snake had to come down after giving up.

Learning

From this he learnt that don’t afraid any one fight for yourself

4. Servant Boy

Like every day, Sonu went to his singing class in the evening to learn singing. Ramu, his wife and ansh were drinking tea, when suddenly Sonu came inside the house and started crying loudly and said from today I will not sing any more. Ramu said what happened son, if you wanted to become a good singer then why would you stop singing. Sonu cried and said, papa, you know that I stammer while speaking, so my friends are teasing me by making fun of this. They are telling, first learn to speak from somewhere, then come here and learn to sing. After listening this, father said son, people do not know anything about your ability; they always judge you according to their point of view. These are the people who will make fun of you when needed and will also clap for you when needed.

So ignore them, you just stick to your goal. If not today then tomorrow you will definitely get it. Just keep patience but practice again and again; you see victory will be yours. Because if you want to do something with passion, then nothing is impossible in the world my son. So keep believe in you and start working with honesty from today itself. Sonu did the same and after 6 months of continuous practice he became an excellent singer. Very soon he became popular and also became famous in the media. After this incident many marriage proposal started coming from far and wide for him. As Sonu had grown up, so his parents told him to get married first and then make your career, but Sonu refused and said that he will make his career first and then he will think about this.

Learning

Our boy Ansh is sitting there and listening all their discussion and understand people point of views are ignoring factors and we should focus our career first than any other thing.

5 .Applications in life

Finally the day had come when ansh had to return to his house but due to heavy rain that day he could not go. That evening a serious discussion was going on in Ramu’s family that if the ZUMBO-GATE was not opened, the village would be flooded. Sonu came to know that there is a huge gate in that village named zumbogate and it is also called life saving gate. Because in the rainy season , the villagers open this gate before there is much rain and there is no flood in the village. but this time the gate was not opened due to sudden heavy rain.

Unfortunately that happened what everyone feared to happen. The next day also it was raining very heavily and suddenly there was a flood in the village. So everyone started going to a high place which as near ZUMBO-GATE, Ramu’s family and ansh also went with the villagers. After reaching there some people tried to open that gate but could not open it. Finally Ramu’s son Sonu went and tried to open the gate with the villagers, but his foot slipped and he got injured. During this time, there was severe fighting was going on in Sonu’s mind between positivity and negativity. Sonu was asking himself in his mind, should I try to open the gate, if the gate is not opened then people will make fun of me again. But somehow he took courage inside himself and said, let me try once. Because he was the guest of the village, so ramu and the villagers did not let him to try as it was a very risky task. Ramu said that you alone will not be able to open it because everyone has given up, if something happens to you what will I answer to your father? But the boy smiled and replied, uncle i have learned my life lessons in this village. If this village is destroyed while I am alive ,then what will I do of this new life which is gifted by you and this village and Uncle you have told GOD IS BEST PLANNER, SO LETS SEE WHAT IS HIS PLAN L,WE HAVE TO JUST KEEP PATIENCE. So don’t you worry and allow me to-do this work. Then he moves towards the gate to open it. But when he was trying to climb the big stone on the way of reach ZUMBO-GATE he was slipping every time. Then Sonu remembered the words of little champ, “I can do anything.” By repeating this word again and again in his mind, he tried again and finally reached the gate. Then he tried to open the gate but suddenly a snake came near the gate, he got scared then by following the teaching of little bird, “FIGHT FOR YOURSELF” motivated himself that if a little bird can do it then why can’t i? Then he picked up a stick and drove the snake away, but in this panic his foot slipped and he fell down through the bushes. Seeing this incident, it seemed as if God has saved him, because he fell from such a height and he was hurt only a little. There were some villagers who were saying that the strongest person of this village could not open this gate, how can this young man save us. Even if he tries for his entire life, even then he will not be able to open this ZUMBO-GATE, he cant do it. After hearing all this, ansh, s eyes dripped with tears, then he took a deep breath closed his eyes and focused on that gate. He remind his last but not least lesson of his life that, “PEOPLE ARE THE BOTH IGNORING AND ENCOURAGING FACTORS,THEY JUST JUDGE US FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW,THEY DONT KNOW YOUR CAPABILITY, YOUR CALIBRE,YOUR STRENGTH,YOUR POWER.” So he ignored the people and put all his efforts and reached at the ZUMBO GATE, OPENED THE GATE. Then he heard the cheering sound and applause of the people from below. Then ansh came down slowly and hug His uncle, aunty and brother. Then looking at the sky, he thank to god for making the best plan for him.

Within a few hours, the flood water passes through the life saving gate.

After knowing the news about flood, his parents came to the village. His parents hug the boy tightly with tearful eyes and say thank you to ramu family. Mr.P returned back all the money to the loyal man, ramu and also gave donation for the village people. Then he told ramu to come to the city with his entire family so that Sonu got more scope for singing and he could make his career. At first Ramu denied but when Ansh invite them he accept the invitation and went with them Happily.😆😊
