ears by having plas c surgery out of wealth. But in return, I
would get to swim in the sea of abundant wealth. Yeah! I would
have great fun and excitement. Let then be ar ficial ears. What
is the use of this true ears in this deser ng poverty?’ Thinking
so, he remained there.
Bhaliya came over there and as he watched the thief's
back, he no ced tomato red bruise marks swelling up. He
thought 'It seems he is alive, but now, on the spot, the ma er
would be ultra-clear. Clarity is just in my hands, a sparkling
knife. As soon as I slash his ears like a cucumber, he would
immediately spring up wide awake!”What a butcher like cruel
mindset! Even the son had got evil chap of his father and he
turned from Bhaliya (noble) to Buriya (devil)! The company of
evil and wicked is very dangerous! It destroys the nobility
gathered by the soul since ages.
Bhaliya caught the ear of the wicked and slashed!!! He
struck the knife. The thief had made up his mind 'If I'm going to
get Laxmi (wealth) in return, why won't I let my ears slashed? It
is just a ma er of minutes and all the wealth will be mine a er I
let my ears cut. Without any doubts, they will immediately bury
all the wealth!' This wicked man has become so very hard like
iron and rigid like plas c at heart, that he doesn't even tremble
a bit when Bhaliya was cu ng his ear. Cruel Bhaliya smoothly
cut off his ear! Then he thought 'He seems like a dead. Should I
cut the other one? Is it necessary? Let me finish the job. Let me
cut the other ear also! Or else the father would scold me,'Why
did you bring just an ear. Go! Go and bring another one' Then I
would have to come again and waste me while it's quite
unsafe staying longer in the forest.’ Thinking so, he slashed
another ear! Which sin is impossible for ge ng wealth? Even
the son grew devil end sinful together with his evil-devil father!

Although, he was considering it to be a corpse, but only a cruel
heart can commit such a violent act of even cu ng lifeless
human body. The heart becomes hard in cu ng even the dead
bodies of movable living beings.
Bhaliya came to his father, "Look! Take these ears! You
are needlessly doub ng. Will anyone who is alive allow his ears
to cut? No one would allow to prick even a needle!”
Father said, "O fool! Don't try to be over-smart! Why are
these ears dripping with blood? Can there be any blood in a
corpse? Crazy fellow! Trying to be over-wise! Do you want to
teach me? Donkey! Have you any brains? The wealth worth
crores would vanish in seconds….!”
His son moreover had some piece of Intelligence. Using
it, he replied, "Dad! Don't be so very impa ent and anxious!
Didn't I say before 'The poor fellow may have died falling just
recently’ then, how can the blood dry so fast?”
Listening to this, sparked the fire of fury in the mind of
his father! He had a confined and concrete fixed frame of
mind,'Even if there is a slight possibility of him being alive, I'll
lose all my wealth worth crores' What is the value or
significance of such poor life devoid of wealth? It is surprising!
The ignorant and idiot soul feels so much deep sorrow in
losing wealth. He doesn't feel so, in losing human life devoid
of charitable noble acts when the wealth is in his hand!
Now the father got furious. He gave 2-4 slaps on his
son's face and said, "Let me come. I myself will check. What's
the truth! It's be er to take trouble walking there instead of
burning here in the fire of worry. You are s ll an ass even a er
ge ng of twenty years of age! Stupid! You haven't got any drop
of wisdom and on top of that you are advising me?”
