Karma that s ll I was just watching around looking at things.
Then how I would have collected the valuables”.
“Did you come for sightseeing and sensual pleasures,
enjoyment and entertainment or taking precious goodies?”
“Oh, my brother! Actually, I came over here to fetch the
goods, but the glamour and grandeur of your things were so
very alluring that I forgot everything”.
“What do you want to say, Mr Patel? Did I force you to
see all that? It was your clause that I had to allow you to take
the things with respect and honour. I just made an
arrangement for your hospitality and honour. Who told you to
get a racted and immersed in it? Didn't you remember that
much? You were lost and engrossed so much in it that you
forgot the most important job of taking home the rich goodies.
Was your mind cracked? Was your heart misplaced?”
“Let it be, whatever happened. Besides, now talking will
waste my me. C'mon, now let me take as much I can.”
“Friend! How would you take now? Time is over, so the
game is over. Sun has already set. The dura on as per the bond
has finished. Now get out and come back tomorrow with your
whole family for slavery.”
Mr Patel went flat on listening to this! He experienced a
severe shock
Also, he saw heaps and piles of gems and jewels, pearls
and diamonds, gold and silver overflowing from the closets.
Then he realized his extremely grave mistake. What did he gain
from seeing, ea ng and drinking? And how much he lose? His
heart was filled with grief and eyes with tears. He started crying
and wailing loudly in a very sad tone. But now what can be
done? He fell in his own dug pit. He experienced terrible
sorrow many mes more than the day-long pleasure! Also,

from the next day, Patel had to come back with his family for
the torturous slavery of the merchant. What kind of slavery?
Extremely excrucia ng and painful for the whole life. A half day
entertainment brought miseries and sorrow, torture and
contempt for a mul tude of years!
Now let's see what is the secret hidden in this story !
Inference :
Mr Soulomon Patel is our soul. Merchant 'Clever Karma'
is merits and demerits bound in our past life. The soul thinks
that I'll fool the Karma, but actually Karma fools the soul. Karma
allows the soul to grab all the sweet fruits of merits in human
life. It means, it allows the soul to collect the jewellery of
highest degree of spirituality a ained through prac sing
religious rites and cash of sin-destruc on with the help of
merits in the bungalow of human life. The dura on is from birth
to death. Birth is sunrise and death is sunset. A er that, the
soul has to become the slave of karma. But if he really gathers
the property, then one can't say that karma is the master and
dragging him wherever he wants. But actually, karma has
reserved incredible ecstasy in best blissful heavenly lives where
the soul is master of others and can enjoy prowess on others. If
the soul fails to earn the spiritual cash, then he has to suffer
unbearable tortures in hell and animal life due to the slavery of
karma.
In such a situa on, see the foolishness of Mr Soulomon
Patel. He entered the ground floor of childhood in the
bungalow of human life. There his good merit kept his father
and mother, rela ves, ready to welcome him. He was wholly
enchanted in ge ng sweet lullabies, affec onate kisses,
utmost care, royal treatment, rain of motherly love etc. Also,
